Right then, now we know I'm not popping my clogs too imminently the challenge is to provide me with Vena Bena in as subtle a way as possible. The first, creative solution was to decant my particular favourite into a Ribena bottle (thank you Carolina!). However, Mr. J. got mean and started rationing (just like he's tried to do and failed for so many years at the Barge eh Jo?, so we needed to be more creative.)
Vena Bena however continued and we have had some now truly outstanding examples of creative thinking. To date Sarah, I salute your Tesco Finest non-alcoholic White Grape & Elderflower Spritz! True genius. Irish Nikki, I salute your chutzpah in just bringing in the bottles in paper bags. Very American.
Over the bank holiday weekend, when so many of you came to see me it frankly got exhausting (jokes!) the bena flowed, Mad Minnie screamed, Lady Lucinda was moved, I got several pedicures, did quite a bit of internet shopping and it ended up being quite a nice weekend apart from the whole not being able to move from my torso down stuff and the big C. Who'd have thought?
I also had a lovely Loch Fyne dinner delivered to me (thank you Ickle Nikki and my beautiful Evie my superstars), lots of other goodies and a general sense of bonhomie reigned. I'm sure it must have been just like hosting an 'at home' back in Victorian days, with even the opportunity for a little faint ....
I also got to spend time with my Mum & Sister, which made them, me and yes, even Kevin feel better about things. xxx
Thank you to each and everyone of you who has stepped up...... Jimmy, also for walking my pack (and yes I know what you're doing!)
You're all amazing. :-)
