But it's bitterly cold out.
DB spent most of the morning asleep, I hung the laundry on the airer in the sewing room, but away the bits left from Saturday's wash.
Spent most of the morning reading, sorted out the supper, belly pork in tomato sauce with mash, carrots and peas. DB will have a mince pie with custard, I will finish up the crumble.
Tomorrow is the coffee morning here, so hopefully will get to that. I hope to get to the Chapel next Wednesday to deliver cards etc.
But cold this morning. A bit later getting up, carers were not due till 9am. We had a new lady yesterday filling in for the carer who night sits a patient. DB said she was very thorough.
DB ate all his supper last night, plus a small helping of apple crumble. I have almost used up the apples, will nip along and see if there are any left, might be able to find space in the freezer for some peeled and chopped ones. I freeze them in portions either for crumble or apple sauce.
Started to write the Christmas cards, I am not sure about going g to the coffee morning next week, worried about the new strain of covid which seems to be going round. We have both had the vaccinations, but still concerned.
Stepson's little girl had another very bad seizure yesterday, was taken to hospital, but allowed home last night.
Cleaner here yesterday, usual thorough job. I dread her saying that she is finding her job plus the cleaning too much, she has fitted in so well, gets on with the job.
Better nights sleep last night......was very tired yesterday.
Supper tonight will doubtless be eaten, sausage, mash, baked beans and onion gravy, apple crumble for dessert.
at least its not snowing, if it were we would be just about snowed in!!
Bad night last night, I have been sleeping better of late, DB was unsettled.
DD 2 came with daughter and GGS, he is standing on his own, not quite dareing to walk, but moves at speed on his hands and knees. Like all babies he likes to explore......the mat at the frone door was an object of interest till he tried to eat it!! I was eating a mince pie, he came and stood at my knee with his mouth open like a little bird, He did not get any of the filling, I did not want to be blamed for the contents of his nappy later, just a couple of bits of the pastry which seemed to go down well.
I am shattered this morning, yesterday was a bad day for DB, the usual trouble.......I had to get up twice in the night to him.
We have decided to have soup for lunch and poached egg on toast for supper, it means I do not have to routle through the freezer to find something for supper. Tomorrow will be roast pork.
Heavy frost over night, the sun is blazing, but very little heat in it........very clear blue sky. So far no snow, lets hope it stays like that.
Quiet day after two busy days, am stull fighting to register a bank card....... getting really brassed off. DB is performing his usual tricks a have just chewed him off yet again. I do not know why I bother.........today it was melon he could not chew!! Why I bothered to pay a fortune to get him a decent set of dentures I really do not know. It looks like everything I feed him is going to have to be slops. Having said that the fish and chips DD2 is bringing tonight he will eat, no problem!!!!!!!!!Grrrrrrrrrrr.
Not a bad nights sleep, although I could do with a nap, the trouble is if I have one, the chances are I will not sleep tonight.
Hey Ho the chemist has just delivered another set of dosset boxes for DB. That makes 8 boxes in stock........
Today was my 2 hours off. I had a not so little list for Aldi, picked up a couple of things that were not on the list. I then went and had a root round the charity shop, was looking for a table for the hall. No luck, so treated myself to lemon and ginger sponge and a cup of tea. DB was just finishing his lunch when I got back. Fridge and freezer loaded, so I do not think we will starve!!
Load of laundry washed overnight, drying on the airer in the second bedroom, it will get put away tomorrow. Looking for something to tackle on the machine. I also need to sort out the cards for the coffee morning at Hose.
Supper was hard boiled eggs and salad, ice cream for dessert.
Today was the craft fair, it was abysmal, I ended up making just over £20. Spent 4 hours sitting on my bum.
On the goodside DB stayed in the flat, I checked on him a couple of times, he was ok, went back and had my lunch and then back for the last hour.
It's very cold out, no snow but there were signs of frost on the roofs.
Tomorrow I get my 2 hours off........a trip to Aldi to stock up a bit, I might even get into the town for a wander.
Supper tonight, fish fingers, mash, peas and butter sauce.
two days of torrential rain, we woke this morning to bright sun, I put the heat on first thing then turned it off.
Bonnie, DB's carer help me change the bed, the linen is in the machine set to wash tonight on the cheap electricity.
As its a fine day will take DB for a stroll round the estate after lunch.
I have looked out and priced the stock I have left for the sale on Wednesday..... the sale starts at 12.30, so we will have to have an early lunch.........
Thursday is my 2 hours off, so a list for Aldi, there is a new fabric shop has opened in the town, might see if I have time to take a gander at that. We have needed one for a very long time.
Supper tonight, the remains of yesterdays chicken with salad and new potatoes, I used some of the apples and blackberries from the freezer to make a crumble, so will have that for dessert. Will make an oranges in jelly tomorrow to last for the rest of the week.
