Purple Hue

I do love each May when the lavender pops up. It looks so terrible every winter I'm always surprised when it returns with such gusto ;-)

It got hot today, and I made myself go to Guildford to shop. I didn't really want to go, but my wardrobe is shocking, so it was needs must. Unfortunately Guildford has many large hills, and after walking all the way to the bottom and feeling a bit disheartened, I decided to (slowly) drag myself back to the top and then home. I'll just do a bit more online shopping. I need some more things to wear for work. I think I know what I want, I could order it easily I'm sure. 

I went home and then to visit Shelle and Lucy. They've both had a cold this week, but Lucy's been great, it's Shelle who's now losing her voice. She said they both had a cry this morning, which made me feel a bit sad. Lucy is seven months old next week, and she's lovely. When I go round (I went last night too), I sit down on the floor with her and we have a good play with her toys and then I help her get bathed. She's been very happy, and is always pleased to see all of us which feels good. Now that she can sit up unaided, it's a bit easier, but she just wants to move so she's getting harder and harder to wrangle!

I suppose it helps me to see how hard it is, especially doing it all by yourself. A part of me is a little bit glad to go home and relax without needing to see to anybody else.
