Unfortunately poor Grandma had to go back into hospital on Saturday, just in time for her birthday today!!  This was very sad as she spent Christmas in hospital too and these are the two times of year that she gets very excited about…  Still, she managed to wink at my Mum from the Medical Assessment Unit bed and say quietly “Bo Selecta, keep it real” complete with hand gestures, so she remains in impressively good spirits.

I phoned the hospital this morning and they said that she is doing well - the nurse seemed to know who I was talking about when I said it was my Grandma’s birthday so I expect she has told everyone that has crossed her path!!  I imagine that she has also pointed out that she is “the same age as the queen you know” several times.

I hope to go and see her later, with some balloons, a birthday badge rosette, a banner for her bed  and some pressies (a pretty sparkly bracelet and a nice scarf).  I might even choose a nice fairy cake from the bakery too if she feels up to it.

Happy birthday Grandma!  Have a good one.
