Kom maj, du søde milde! synger vi - og maj har virkelig været smuk! Yesterday - on the 21st it was three months since it all began with Duncan. 3 months - that's quarter of a year. That's a long time. Since the last operation he's recovered very quickly. Still tired, still sore everytime he's done something new - especially in his back, but that's to be expected trying to regain muscles and strength. He's started working a little bit and is enjoying it. I'm signed off sick at the moment trying to regain myself, composure, strentgh, energy - the lot. Morfar (mum's dad) turned 90 last week and I was able to spend the day with them. It was nice, and because I was so confused and the weather was so nice I stayed with my parents for a little week. Getting the garden in the House ready for summer and whitening the house itself (Jeg kalkede det) was great. Physical work is good for the soul!
I got the chance to watch films with my brother, have dinner with my parents on work days and things I never get to do because I've moved away - and a long way away. That too was nice.
In less than a month we will move in to the flat above the church. Work is still in progress there. They will only just make it in time - and maybe not completely finished - by the time we move in. The garden is still a sand pitch. Sand because the old tiles were taken off in the autumn, and no new ones have been put down yet. It'll come. And you'll see it will become a great little garden!
The picture is from my big garden up north - our old apple tree in full bloom. Gorgeous!
