It hasn't been too bad a week.I mean, aside from the excruciating pain (which is easing nicely, I'm getting there), I would have to say that I've somewhat enjoyed the rest and... well, parts of it have been marvellous.
Take the inundation of concerned friends bringing us food, help and good wishes. I have never felt the power of community so strongly. Mums at the school who I barely know have emailed or called to offer help. It has left me rather teary at times. The pathos of people rallying around us in this way is rather too much for this one to bear. And the irony of blogging about how much my community means to me just days before it all went down is not lost on me one bit.
So, this week I'm grateful for...
254. Lasagne - is there a person alive who doesn't like lasagne? It's such a wonderful stand-by, especially when delivered with love by thoughtful friends in times of trouble.
255. Pillows - my need for abundant cushioning right now has made me very aware of the comfort and luxury that our many cushions and pillows provide us. Many in the world don't even get one soft landing.
256. Pinterest - I know, I know, I'm obsessed. But it really has kept me upbeat and amused through this dreadful time of seclusion and lying around. It entertains me and I'm loving selecting my new 'Pin of the day' feature for the blog. Even if no one ever bothers with it, I love putting it together. Must do something about that dreadful 'logo' thingy I cobbled together to put at the top of each of the posts. I really can't stand it.
Do you do that? Create something one minute and hate it to pieces the next?

You can't go wrong with a lasagne and you can NEVER have too many cushions! Hope next week is better for you xx
On the 12wbt crazy exercise thing I did there is a tuna lasagna. Disgusting. You really can't play with the real thing, it is just so good.
So glad to see you're on the mend Bron.
And yes, I constantly make pieces for ZD that look fabulous in my head, but totally wrong in real life!
Have a relaxing weekend, and don't get into those stairs too quickly. xx

It's midnight and I'm now craving lasagna! And spag bol! Glad you are feeling a bit better xx
so true! Good lasagna is GREAT and school-lunch lasagna is good!
I don't even know if I could trust someone that didn't like lasagna!
I haven't eaten red meat in 13 years - the thought now makes me quite ill - and yet, I STILL crave a good lasagne. That's how good they are. And who doesn't love lots of pillows? xxx
In tough times it is amazing to feel and know the love and support around us and sometimes there are many great surprises in us all. And agree... give me lasagne xx
hi Maxabella...hope you're up and running very soon. I also absolutely love the comfort of a soft pillow, I don't know how people can lay their heads on a block of wood at night and feel comfortable!
Sending you hugs hope your on the mend soon. Someones kindness when your out of action means the most doesnt it, just to bring some food around so you dont need to worry about cooking is the best gift of all. And lasange is everyones comfort food for sure. Take care lovely x

Glad you're getting better. Sounds too painful! Pinterest should be prescribed as therapy. Lasagne is my fav. I use this recipe. Jamie Oliver? x
I'm not into lasagne, but my kids love it, so I'm grateful for it, too.
