Taking time out.

This was my view sitting on the patio having a cup of tea today.  

I prepared the salad etc for the ladies yesterday and then felt exhausted so took to my bed and No2 son did the hosting for me as he realised I was a bit tired the night before and rang just at the  right time to check on me (apparently he did a good job)  It would have been a bit silly to cancel as everything was ready.  I slept for 18 hours and batteries are re-charged.
Now realise I have got to slow down a bit more before heart operation in 3 weeks.
Today went to dentist for pre- op checkup (to give my gums the all clear).  She completed the necessary paperwork, which ticks another thing of the list.
Lack of blip yesterday hopefully explained.

For those still with me 'loafing' was explained as when people work in a group they do not necessarily work to their full potential.  The example given was a tug of war.  One man against one man will be done at full strength but when in a team you don't pull quite so hard as you do not get individual recognition for your effort.  This explains why people say 'loafing around' as being a bit lazy, I suppose.

Now going to do the same things as before but at half strength!
