Tennis and Scrabble

Well, another glorious day in Paradise here. And another great morning's tennis. Thanks ladies.

One day I will have a nice Spectacular photo for you. In the meantime, you just have to make do with the ordinary!! Well, that is if you can call this glorious yellow flower ordinary. They are taking a little while to bloom , but that is OK..the colour is so wonderful anyway.

And I did a silly thing on scrabble when I got home. I told Jo all these awful one point letters that I had in this game I was playing with my sister...and then I realised they were in the game I was playing with her. Fortunately she was a good sport about it , must have realised and said, no she couldnt help me, sorry! Anyway, I did find a word (in the dictionary worth about 21 points) to go on the triple letter. It won't help me catch up to her "spectacular" 350 odd score though, from about 150 points, will it? Although I was delighted to get a 7 letter word in my game with Jill yesterday. Wow. Almost the first one that I have had online!!

Well, time to get on with real life and do a few things around here. Will try to include a para from Jo re life with them in NY at the moment (at 36 weeks):

Today (Monday) is the Memorial Day holiday, and I am so grateful for this final extra day of rest before tomorrow, when all the excitement will begin. We have had another quiet day resting, and joining friends in Central park for a relaxing picnic afternoon.

Tomorrow I get to go back to the doctor first thing for my 36 week checkup. Given that 36 weeks is considered completely safe for the baby to arrive, if all goes well I’ll be taken off the medication - and go back to full time work the same day! I am actually very excited, as based on my contraction record I suspect think the baby will follow soon after. Of course, after all this fuss the baby could decide to make us wait until 42 weeks - particularly if it has my genes, right? ;-)

Regardless, it definitely promises to be an interesting week!!
