A new day

Today is a new day!  The sun is shining, the birds are singing - it actually feels like spring is in the air!  The amaryllis I got for Christmas has bloomed.  It looks very exotic - probably needs to go into a bigger pot so it doesn't topple over.
This morning our neighbours from No.14, June and Paul came for coffee.  We had a nice chat with them.  Paul was interested to see our newly installed solar panels on the garage and how it works.  At the moment they are not generating much electricity being winter but enough to power a couple of light bulbs!
Ian is still working on the welsh side of Mum's family tree, namely her grandfather Merredydd Rees.  She is going to Wales in April with Lindy and Chris to investigate her welsh family tree.
This afternoon I am going to the hospital for a blood test to check that everything is OK to do the intravenous chemo on Monday.  I will drop Ian off at B&Q so that he can buy paint for our en-suite.
