Celebration time

The blood tests are through. It's definitely not a wheat allergy. The hunt goes on. Next week I'm off to the hospital for a scan. Let's hope that comes up with the answer. 

Meanwhile we're hoping to do a bit of celebrating today. It's our wedding anniversary. Our 37th. If the rain holds off we are hoping to go away for a day or two. Just to Kendal. It's not far from here but sufficient to give us a change of scene. We also could do with doing some clothes shopping. Morecambe is very poor for clothes. Lancaster is too chaotic & not much better for clothes, though there is a lot more choice if you are young & trendy - no doubt a reflection of the number of students at the nearby university - but we're no longer so young these days.

However, as I came on line, our home page setting gives today's news & I see much of Cumbria is flooded after last night's torrential downpour. The road to Kendal often floods as the river Kent enters into estuary of Morecambe Bay, especially if there is a high tide as well, pushing the flood waters back up river. The day is overcast. I half expect more rain is yet to come. We may yet decide to stay put.

Even so we will at least go out for a meal. There's a bottle of bubbly on our wine racks. And above all, we can rejoice in the fact my abdomen is behaving itself so far today.
