Hola, I'm back to join the T Party over at Elizabeth and Bluebeard's,
I’ve been MIA the last few weeks, I was busy waving my worry stick around as Steve would say, he had an opp May 31st, with taking blood thinners he had to have blood tests etc to check the levels, it was under local anesthetic but he was actually in there for an hour and a half, they did more surgery than expected, I was pretty worried sitting waiting, trying to read my book, it’s been pretty hectic going to have his dressing changed and then in the middle of all that we had a letter to have our colon tests, such fun, LOL
On a happier note, we celebrated our 48th wedding anniversary, May 29th, we went out for a meal in the evening at our local Indian restaurant, I actually remembered to take photos, well I should say that when each course arrived Steve kept reminding to take a photo!
It’s only a ten minute walk from our villa so we had a lovely walk in the evening sunshine
The Dining Room is very niceThe early Bird Menu, between 6 pm and 8pm
As you can see from the menu they offer a large choice.
Pickles and Poppadoms while you peruse the menu.
Prawn Salad for 1st Course
Main course, Lamb Rogan Josh and Chicken Tikka Masala with Garlic Nan and Pilau Rice
The drink of choice for Steve was Sin Alcohol Beer,
(Non Alcoholic beer), I had a glass of white wine but taken from where I sat it looked ginormous.
In my efforts not to worry I've been surprisingly crafty and have made about fifteen cards, Birthday and Christmas ones. I pulled out all my Christmas papers, I have so many that I decided to use some of the smaller pieces before the full sheets, most are freebies from craft Mags.
I also bought a box of multi coloured card about seven years ago and some of the cream was quite a dark colour and I've found it hard to match it with patterned papers so I first picked papers that did match the cream, I got quite carried away with the Z folds, I made one for a challenge and that was it, I couldn't stop until yesterday when I ran out of steam so I put everything Christmassy away and cleaned up, it was quite a shock when I came up here this morning!
The weather has warmed up but it’s still quite windy, it's 22c when we leave home at 9am so by the time we are walking back along the Paseo it's getting very warm, we’ve started swimming but the pool isn’t what I call warm, it’s fine once you’re in and swimming but with the wind you have to get out and dry pretty quickly, it needs to warm up in the next month before the three Grandsons arrive.
Hope everyone has a lovely crafty week and some good weather too

glad to hear hubby's doing well- such a scary thing to go thru. Your Indian meal sounds wonderful tho I would choose a vegetarian meal. And look at you thinking about Christmas cards! Not me- I can't go there yet:):) Happy T day!
ReplyDeleteOperations are always worrisome. I'm glad he's doing okay. Indian food is delicious. Congratulations on your anniversary. I love that Christmas card. Happy T-Day!
ReplyDeleteGlad your hubby got the operation over without complications, but it's always worrying. I take blood-thinners, too, so know the rigmarole! The restaurant you went for your celebration meal looks great, that menu would have suited me very well, too. Happy T Day, hugs, Valerie
ReplyDeleteHappy Anniversary! I'm glad to hear your hubby's procedure went well. An Indian restaurant within walking distance would be a treat :) Happy T Tuesday!
ReplyDeleteOh my, you've had your hands full, Jan. I hope Steve has a good recovery. I love your phrase, "busy waving my worry stick around."
ReplyDeleteHappy anniversary to you both! 48 years, that's terrific. Chris & I celebrated our 50th last Dec. Your anniversary dinner looks delicious.
Lovely Christmas card. You've got a good head start on the holiday!
Happy T-day! Eileen xx
Goodness, dear Jan. i can see why you missed T Tuesday. I would be quite worried myself. I hope Steve is doing much better now. If you two are swimming, I suspect he is much better.
ReplyDeleteHappy 48th anniversary. Quite an accomplishment. I was perusing your menu you shared and saw the cheese naan. It sounded so good. Great drinks, too. So glad your husband reminded you to take photos of each course. Thanks for sharing your anniversary meal and your wine and Steve's beer with us for T this Tuesday. Happy belated anniversary, too.
So glad everything is well with Steve, now. Sounds like you had a lovely anniversary dinner. Congratulations on 48 years! I love, love your Z fold Christmas card. You make such lovely cards, Jan.
