Another day

 another dollar. DB was ok ish yesterday, started this morning with an order which I disregarded. He is up and in his chair, had his breakfast and helped me as much as he could parcel something up. A friend from the retreats has asked for it, so just need her address so I can arrnage the courier for her. Something else gone.

The Chrarity shop refused the steam iron, so have put it on freecycle other wise the Heat Foundation will collect it, I hope.

A much cooler day, have eggs on for a salad at lunch time the physio is coming to see DB at lunchtime, she can put up with seeing him eat his lunch!! Could not care less........

I had to sweep the porch this morning the wind yesterday blew a lot of debris in. Went over the floor in there and the kitchen with a damp mop, so floor all clean again.

I am gradually clearing the sewing room, the slider is in there but if I want to sew it can go in the bedroom till I have finished sewing. Beginning to see the wood through the trees in there.

So lunch today is egg salad, supper rolls and cake.

Still frustrated

Tablet will not close down, I have to leave it until the battery runs down and then try to reset it, am having to use my phone which makes life difficult.

DB is still driving me nuts, yesterday was a very bad day, not only did I have to go out to the garage to scream, but ended up in tears, not that I would let him see that!! My last remark to him was 'how can you be so selfish?' and walked away. I know he is bored, so am I, we are prisoners in our own house. He is using his walker to get to the toilet and to bed,  I have to go with him in case he falls,he is so unco-ordinated it is unbelievable. I got all his fresh clothes out for today before I took him through to bed.......very pointedly went through everything, so he had no need to comand me to get anything out for him.

He moaned about the meat at lunchtime yesterday, so from now on he is getting slops.......he says he cannot chew meat. It was fine, I managed ok.

Hey ho, life goes on...............

Frustrating

Its very hot again, but with a breeze, have had to prop doors open to prevent the doors slamming shut. Sitting room temp is 26c too hot for me, just nice according to DB......

My blooming tablet has had an issy fit and will not close down, I need to do a factory reset, but cannot.....like an idiot I forgot my pass number and put the wrong one in. Grrrrrrrrrrrrr.........plus DB is not playing ball this morning so doubly frustrated.........I am about ready for the mental home!!! Trying to cook lunch at the same time, what happened to my multi tasking skills????

Phew

today is to be the hotest day of the year, its sweltering outside. I had been looking for a small air cooler I knew I had, found it this morning in the sewing room on top of a bookcase.

Yesterdays birthday ended in a bit of a spat, I had tried all day to keep cool, but it surfaced at bedtime, ashamed to say I really lost it.............

Did not sleep well, not surprising, had to pul the light weight duvet up it turned very chilly in the night. Curtains and blinds are drawn everwhere, have the cooler in the kitchen and the fan in the sitting room. DB has just 'closed his eyes' I am about to get the lunch, its quiche and salad, his can go in the fridge.

 

Bit breezy

There is quite a breeze this morning, but its very humid, the weather is expected to last until Sunday......

Managed to the library and also the charity shop this morning. DB was ok whilst I was gone. It is his birthday today, my cleaner brought him a cake last night, victoria sponge decorated with strawberries, will have it at tea time, fish and chips for lunch, will be ready shortly.

I will be sitting in the cool for the rest of the day, have just picked strawberries from the contianer in the garden, enough for strawberries for the two of us for dessert tomorrow. I am planning to cook pork on Sunday.

Have just sorted my car insurance this morning, £527!!! its a good job we have saved the cash in a bills account, it cost me £300+ for the car yesterday, as well as the  service I paid for last week. 

Edwins birthday cake.

Hoy, hot hot

another sweltering day, too hot last night to sleep.......not much better today, fan has been on all day, have just closed the blinds and curtains in the bedroom to keep it a bit cooler.

Salmon salad for lunch, too hot for cooked meal, DB has asked for pate on toast, yogurt and sponge cake for his supper. He is now walking on, still using the chair  first thing when he gets up. His head is much better, no sign of the scalp problem starting up again. I am going to keep his head shaved.

Tomorrow I need to get to the library and also put some more stuff into the charity shop. DB will have to cope for an hour till I get back.

 

Wedesday

shattered already. Load of laundry now on the line, grocery order put away, sorted out lunch, beef lasagne......no dessert. We finished off the strawberries from the garden this morning, there are more coming, the cotainres were so dry I put the hose on them before the sun moved round into the back.

It was 25c when I got up, the sun has disappeared but its still very hot.

DB is now walking to the toilet, just uses the chair to get up, he seems to be exhausted after he has eaten his breakfast, he slept for over an hour this morning.

I need to get up to the library, they have 2 books in for DB and I could do with a couple myself, will have to leave DB whilst I go, I also need to go to the PO for cash for the cleaner and gardener.

?Supper tonight will be rolls and fruit with ice cream.
