last night I made some of my new black currant tea…

got out my special cup, filled up my Bino with extra hot water, put milk in my cute little purple whale jug and found a few pieces of chocolate to go with everything and put it all on my new tray…

had two lovely cups…

and then…

as I was pouring the third cup… knocked over the milk which spilled everywhere on the tray and onto me, lol…

but those first two cups were excellent;-)…

started the day admiring a few of the flowers from my birthday bouquet… yesterday morning I removed a few and returned the remainder to the office…

when I got home and checked the mailbox I was very happy…

there was a parcel and a postcard from Hawaii;-)…

the parcel was from one of my “girls” who lives in Vancouver now… she sent me some lovely black currant loose tea… what a sweet girl…

the postcard was from my daughter… she is always sending postcards and while we were on Maui she found one with orchids on it and sent it to me;-)…

just made a cup of the tea… it is lovely…

been a week since the conversation with the doctor about my A1C and how I need to work to get it down a bit…

happily we both agreed that I can do this with more control of my diet and without meds…

I think it was just the day before that visit that I ordered a bunch of chocolate from Soma Chocolatemaker and it arrived this week, lol…

one of the things I ordered was this blackcurrant flavour that I fell in love with after one of the Easter treats from my daughter… trying to figure out how I can have some without messing up the stricter eating plan…

one thing I did do was start cutting my wonderful Advent bonbons into quarters and just having one of them each morning… it has made me focus on the bite and I’ve really enjoyed the flavour of each one…

today I took the extra pieces and shared them with my colleagues;-)… made everyone happy…

today I was back at the physiotherapist office…

he was pleased with the progress with my knee over the last few weeks…

I can walk without pain although I still feel a twinge now and then… apparently it still needs work as I don’t have complete range of motion yet…

learned some exercises to do to strengthen the muscles in my thighs which will assist my knee… made me giggle as one of them reminded me of a yoga pose… it involved squeezing your shoulder blades and keeping your back straight… this is going to be interesting because I’ve never been able to accomplish that pose, lol…

very happy it is Friday and to celebrate I had some almonds with black currant chocolate from Soma Chocolate… the chocolate came as a cacao pod in a nest of chocolate twigs…

I put them into one of the darling new heart-shaped bowls that were one of the gifts from my daughter…

a delicious treat… and a lovely way to end the week…
