Today G announced that we were going out to lunch. Bearing in mind I am rather attached to my bed at the minute I really really didn't want to go. It seems other half is worrying that I haven't been eating this week, despite reassurance that its quite normal when unwell!
Choosing Italian - Zizzi's, for those that know it, is a reasonable chain of mid priced Italian food served by courteous staff. We ordered a variety of starters to share. So I did eat and enjoyed it immensly.... mussels in a white wine sauce, calamari in a light batter, goats cheese on bruschetta, simple green salad & rosemary & garlic warm bread sticks. Not forgetting the essential olives. In typical Italian style the waiter seemed genuinely pleased that we had enjoyed our feast and said perhaps that tonight I may enjoy a light omelette now that my lunch had brought a little colour to my cheeks.
So being on the mend is good and thank you G for the lunch, it seems anything with a dash of olive oil strengthens my spirit. They need strengthening too, for no 1 grandchild arrives for a week hopefully tomorrow. Laying in bed too long causes shoulder subluxing, so I can never be unwell for long its too bloody painful.
I am panicking a little as I am worried the little man will be bored and have spent the last half an hour looking for local 'holiday activities' for youngsters. Then I remembered mine were young once and we have never been the type of family that relied heavily on 'organised' activity. So bring on the glue, the pasta collages, the paint, the stories, the bug hunting..... the fun.
