Today is Friday and we have a little thing on the dining table which has daily sayings. You know the sort of thing a calendar with a smart or motivational saying for each day of the year. I don't know where we got it but it came to light the other day and we are working through the pages, at this stage only up to early January. But the point of this lengthy explanation is that today's page says 'you have made it through to Friday - good on you!' which I thought is appropriate.

Today and this afternoon in particular Elaine appears to be doing well. She is 'with it' and this afternoon played well with Lyla. I picked Lyla up from school at 3pm and I think both my girls enjoyed the balance of the afternoon. Having said all that, Elaine still has considerable pain but seems to be making progress. Another thing today was a walk to the end of the street and back, we will have to try and make that a daily exercise.
