What a way to start the day

ailbheI woke cheerful and earlier than the children - not unrelated - and spent a happy twenty minutes putting away an enormous haul of handmedown clothing for ME, from our neighbour, who buys wonderful things in charity shops and treats them excellently well. Then I threw up on the bedroom floor and Emer woke up.
I'm feeling a lot better now but am still not having breakfast. I've dressed in one of the new skirts - it's on-the-knee-length, which makes me feel all naked, but I think it looks ok. I need to work out what to do shoewise. My usual shoes and socks make me look divided into several short chunks, which is unfortunate. I may start looking in charity shops for chunky brown sandals, since a lot of what I got from the neighbor won't go with my blue ones.
Yesterday was good. I was in a lot of pain, but Emer and I painted the front of the dollhouse and then I did the roof on my own, and I got some laundry done and tried something new with polenta, which we had lots of because it was cheap.
Friends came over in the afternoon and then we had our neighbour round for dinner, and after dinner I went out to the community garden for a committee meeting. I may or may not be doing things so that they have a reasonable website in the near future.
After that I went to our neighbour's house and spent about an hour sorting through and trying on clothes. It was fantastic. I have stuff I wouldn't buy, because I'm not very adventurous when buying things, and am really looking forward to wearing some of it, though I clearly need to have more Dressing Up occasions.
