Cooler

but a strong breeze. Continued problems with trying to sign paper work........will have another go tomorrow see what happens. DB was driving me mad wanting me to do things, was ready to chuck a bucket of water over him at one point. He keeps asking about things we have already discussed. Last night he had a nightmare about removing the picture hooks in the sitting room.........They are not on hooks, but pins, easy to get out. He woke me at 5pm moaning about them.

I managed to get to the library this morning 2 books for him and one for me.........

He is asleep just now, when he wakes up I am going to take him up the garden to see which pots I am taking and which are going to L across the road, to put on her drive. Its a very small patio we havej just enough room for a couple of chairs and a few pots. I have some small lavender plants I want to pot a couple up into a medium pot to take. Trevor will be here on Monday, I will get him to move the pots and aslo sort out the garage. The Round table people will be coming for some more stuff, I need to get it sorted into one place.

Supper tonight shepherds pie with carrots and sweetcorn.

Frustrated

Sun is out 24 at the moment....too hot. I am trying to sort out the paper work for the new flat, everything is on the internet and it would not let us sign the documents they sent through........DB keeps asking various things and is also driving me up the wall. I have enough on my plate without him wanting to know about sorting the garage!! Its 6 weeks before we move. 6 weeks today we should be watching the removal men bring our furniture in!!

Yesterday was spent mostly changing things and decided what to do with various bits and pieces. Again DB kept chawping in and distracting me. Also the techie has advised me to send the tablet back to Samsung, I rang their help line, ended up finishing the call, could not understand what the chap was on about. The call was intercepted and re-routed, possibly to India or some such. I am packing the tablet up and sending it by courier back to Samsung.

Tonight is fish and chip night, so I will be cooking fish and chips later.

 

The sun is back

This morning the sun was blaring out once again, the sitting room was hot, so curtains and blinds closed.

DB did very well yesterday, he is now walking with a stick, needs to get a bit more confident.......We went to look at a flat I had previously looked at whilst he was in hospital, it is a ground floor, with french windows and the car is parked right at the front of the french windows. DB managed to walk round and look and then sat in a chair whilst I talked business. There were other people waiting to view it, but this morning the agents rang to say we have to fill in the forms for the affordabilty check, they are going to email them to me.

So we will be moving from here on 14th August to take up our new home in Catherine Place, a MaCarthy and Stone development in Melton.

It has become obvious since we both had health issues that this bungalow was no longer a good fit.

https://www.middletons.uk.com/property/residential/for-rent/melton-mowbray/catherine-place/103122003416 is the link it says let agreed on it. 

So the plan is we sign for it 1st August and move in 15th........gives us time to move light stuff and clear the garden and finish getting rid of the excess in the bungalow. We are staying in the guest room overnight at the complex over night of 14th. I have the removers coming on Monday to give us an estimate. I am also going to get him to take the Fridge freezer to my daughter who wants it, the garage freezer is going to my cleaner. Just have a washer, dish washer and dryer to sort.

A couple from a charity in Melton came this morning and took a laod of gardening stuff from the garage, they are also taking the composter. I have to choose which pots I am going to take with us. I would like to take a camelia and a peony if I can. Will be sad to see most of my pots go.

Supper tonight cooked Gammon salad, mat be strawberries.

 

Thank Goodness

The sun is absent today, and a cooling breeze, we have been forecast rain. I got really hot yesterday, developed my heat rash which has gone down a bit over night, hopefully it is disappear today.

We have things going on just now, rather distracted.....will reveal later just what is happening.

DB has walked a short distance on his own this morning, I am going walk him out of the front porch door to see if I can get him into the car!!

Cooked a gammon joint this morning, will carve it when its cold, will be having gammon and salad tonight.

 

Its back

heat, heat. heat.......The sitting room was warm when I got up, sun blazing away as I went to collect Trevor, he is working as much as he can in the shade........he has watered some of the plants that are drooping.

Not much change in DB, he was ok first thing, but now he is sleeping, dizzy.......

I have bed linen in the washer, will put it out on the line when its done, it will dry and air at the same time. Cleaner Clare is here doing her usual excellent job.........wish I could afford her every week.

I am just coping trying to stay cool, not a fan of hot weather.......like the sun, but cooler if you please.

Supper tonight will be egg and chips, quick and easy!!!! 

Goodness

It was so hot yesterday, even when we went to bed. I had washed the flat sheet, put it  back on the bed and took the duvet off....... I did manage just over 6 hours but I was still very warm.

New carer this morning she has been with the agency 3 weeks, for once DB managed to eat his breakfast without having to put his chair back, although he did sleep for most of the morning.

Its cloudy so much cooler today, tomorrow  till Tuesday is going to be scorching though........

We had a snack at lunchtime, I have cooked chicken in white wine for supper tonight, will have veg and roast potatoes with it, strawberries for dessert.

More of the same

even the wind is warm, its like the Santa Ana wind blowing through, the garage is starting to smell because its been shut up, Im propped it open and the wind blew the concrete block over!!

DB is not having a good day, he is more asleep than awake, checked opnce to make sure he was still breathing!!

We have gone back to having our supper in the evening, I will sort it whilst the carers are getting him ready for bed.

The scan and cut I sent off arrived today, so Wendy was delighted, she has unpcked it and photographed it, phew......I was on eggs until I knew it was there.

Sweet and sour chicken tonight, ice cream for dessert.
