Sick of being sick


The doctor tells me I'm no longer contagious, so Emma came downstairs to see me yesterday, the first time for a week.  I'm sure she's grown 6" in that time!  She practised the piano, had a chat, then suggested we do some cooking.  From one of her recipe books she chose these desserts, and we had a lovely time preparing them.  They're full of sugar and butter, so I wasn't a bit surprised when her father told me she didn't actually want to eat them!  The fun was in the making.

I'm on a health kick again, so did not allow myself the usual huge packet of chips when I shopped just now at Aldi.  I stuck to salad vegetables, fruit, grain bread, tins of fish.

It's really only a week I've been out of action, though it feels much longer than that.  Tomorrow I'll try to get back into normal routine, starting with the English lesson for my three Japanese students.  Theoretically I'm supposed to have a Japanese lesson after the English one, but I haven't looked at anything for weeks, though I did go through all my notes and sort them out. (My sickness followed the school holidays, when we all had a break.)

I had my first piano practice yesterday and didn't do too badly.
