Phoenix's 5th Birthday

 Hello My Friends

 How can it be that Phoenix is 5 today. Yesterday afternoon I watched some videos with Claire today of Phoenix at just a few days old. Oh my word was he tiny and and beautiful little bundle, and here he is now playing with Lego monsters, Darth Vader & This birthday we bought him  a Thanos outfit? which he loved and we had to be all under his spell. Last Christmas we bought him the Dart Vader costume and in the summer Claire took him to a Haskins and he was quite clear he was going out for the day as Darth Vader. She took a photo of him in one of the swinging whicker rocking chairs, with made me laugh. Claire said most people joined in with his unusual attire, but she said the older generation were surprised that Claire let him go out that way. I found the photo's hilarious and proud that Claire allows his funny little personality to be seen and not smothered.

 

At this point I would like to say a big Happy Birthday also to Ged, Andrea's husband, Yay I got your name right this year Andrea. I hope you have a lovely day Ged! 


On a more boring subject my knee is not doing so well. I'm doing my exercises but I'm in agonies everyday. I'm riding the exercise bike and managing 20 revolutions 4 times a day and can hardly walk when I get off. I can only go down stairs one at a time, but I can walk upstairs as long as I throw my leg out to the side but have to rely on both bannister rails, and I'm still needing crutches on uneven ground as it's just so painful. I had an appointment to see my surgeon the beginning of December for another useless review, but I've had a letter saying it's now in January. Anyway it is what it is, and I'm going to be working so hard on my knee as I'm taking all the family to Disney in May and I'm sure Phoenix will be running my arse ragged, I can't wait.


Anyway here goes!

Well that's the end of my exhausting Sunday afternoon with Phoenix, but well worth every ache and wonderful cuddles, and next weekends party with all his new school mates wiil definitely end with a brandy and babycham on a drip, hik!.

Until next time, Take Care

Love & Hugs

  1. Happy Birthday Phoenix, 5 already, where does the time go. Ged says a huge thank you as always for remembering his birthday. So sorry to hear that your new knee is still giving you grief, getting any action from the NHS these days is so difficult, I hope they get it sorted out for you soon. Being fully mobile for May sounds essential for a trip to Disney. Do take care and enjoy the party next weekend. Love as always. Andrea and Ged xx
