Pillows, cookies and cupcakes

I am SO grateful for the fantastic network of friends and family around me, believe me, I do treasure every contact and word you send, it is keeping me going.

More of the help I'm currently receiving deserves a long post but here's some pretty pics.

The Association to which I belong sent me a gift.  Normally they send flowers to members in difficult positions but I'm not keen on that so they sent me something altogether more useful - a pillow that I can tuck under my arm to sleep more comfortably and believe me, it's not even out of the bag and it was tucked under my arm and I was sleeping!  The pillow is from moonlightpillows.com and is specifically made for breast cancer patients who have had surgery.  It is soft and pink (my favourite) and arrived with a pretty giftcard in a gauze bag.  I liked the story that the makers made them initially for a friend who had cancer and was having difficulty sleeping and then that increased to giving one to each woman who was diagnosed in the local hospital.  And now they are international.  Thanks to those who made this happen, it's lovely and just the job. 

MT made a brief stop to deliver lunch and dinner for Sunday.  She enclosed two lovely things - Walnut Whips from her recent business trip to London (I know I have very international friends don't I?) and two made from the heart cookies from her young daughter Chloé to 'make me feel better'.  The Peppa Pig one really made me feel better, thanks darlin'.

And we came home from a short walk this afternoon to find a box of cupcakes at the door!  Wow!  We shared them as dessert at dinner and we found them absolutely delicious.  These are from my friend who runs her own Cupcake Business and shop in Paris 18th called Sugar Daze http://www.sugardazecupcakes.com/fr/.  They were the best, thank you and the photo doesn't do justice to the sparkly one in the corner.  Nobody can be sad with a cupcake in their hand.  Not that I'm droppin names or anything but I wonder if these cakes were the same sort that a famous footballer who once had a stint in a famous Paris football club ordered for his young child's Birthday, or maybe they were the same ones eaten by the Oscar winner at her party last week!  

(And of course thanks for the care package too, tootootootoo kind).

Really night night
