The recuperation time after your op is perfect for having a go at all those things you've been putting off because of lack of time. A book I've read recently which I'd definitely recommend is Somewhere Inside of Happy by Anna McPartlin, very sad but a really good read.Johttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17436932004631816039noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5605977931488846865.post-65871736996868200202016-10-06T08:20:25.033+01:002016-10-06T08:20:25.033+01:00Ha ha, I know what you mean.
