Dining with a star!

Today was the day chosen to meet up with a couple of old friends from Manchester.  We meet every six months or so and have lunch - catching up on all the gossip as we eat.  Today was no different - except, this time, we opted for a sandwich so that we could enjoy a pudding (normally we just have a starter and a main course).  The puddings were just too tempting - cherry, marzipan and almond cake with raspberry puree and ice cream - mmmmmmmmmm.  Weigh in tomorrow is not going to be pleasant anyway so why not?

Why the blog title?  Well Margaret has always loved her amateur dramatics and often works as an extra.  In fact whilst we were eating they called to see if she was free on Friday to be in Emmerdale (she was a nurse recently in Emmerdale).  Margaret was also telling me of recent filming in Liverpool of a new drama to be possibly shown next year called Little Boy Blue about the sad deathe of a  young boy - Rhys Jones - in his blue Everton shirt.  Watch out for that one!

So  - most of my day has been spent travelling or talking - but I did manage to fit a quick stop over at the nurse to have my leg redressed - she declared herself to be happy with how it is healing - go figure!!  However she has prescribed some emollient cream to rub in which may help the skin around the wounds to heal better.

Craftwise - there is nothing to report, clearly, but I have more pinned pieces to sew and a poppy to continue with - so watch this space tomorrow!
