And again

Early visit by carer, the chap turned up just before 9am, all work done, so now we have  both gas and electric on the smart meter, fingers crossed all goes well, it has onlt taken me 14 months to get it sorted.

I am very tired, did not sleep last night, so need a nana nap........ right knee is really giving me what for just now, they say to keep exercising, but there is only so much I can do before I have to sit and rest. Hope the Physio sorts something out next week.

Fish and chips tonight DD2 visit. Its DD1's 44th wedding anniversay today, its a better day than it was in 1981!! Brrr it was cold.

Early call

 carer arrived at 7.15 this morning, so early doors, DB does not cope will with an early call, so had a nap during the morning and has now goone for his siesta. We will have another early call tomorrow as they are due to change the meters.......

Another lovely sunny day, its due to last at least another week, snow in May? Who knows. Sewing room clearing up still going on, have stuff packed up, now deciding how I am going to sort the room.

Supper tonight home cooked cottage pie with beans.

So

 I suffered a bit after yesterday, my knees are both rather sore this morning, however I am battling along. Its another lovely day 15c so warm out of the breeze.

I have almost finished sorting the stuff in my sewing room, had a roll of heavy duty bags delivered yesterday, so the last lot can go in there, and I will tidy the room up so Clare can hoover the carpet on Monday. Just need to decide how I am going to switch stuff round now.small sewing machine and also the  I also need to get my act together and list the iron on the stand. I am getting the bed linen ironed for me.

Carer was late, she could not park on the road, so had to drive round a couple of times, maybe I need to see if I can move the car back a bit so they can get on our drive. Alternatively they can park on my neighbour across the roads front if there is a space.

Supper tonight gammon, tomato, eggs and fried bread, DB's favourite, we call it all day breakfast!!

Busy Day

I spent an hour sorting out fabric this morning, now have to decide how to tidy up the room before the inspection next Monday.

I cooked supper for the first time since I broke my leg, sausage, beans and mash, with gravy. We finished off the creme caramel.

Its been another nice day, the carer was very early this morning, 7.15, I was still asleep, so a slow start.

Another sunny day

 it is forecast to get up to 20c this week, I have laundry in am going to see if I can manage to get it on the whirly in the garden. Lady has just been to collect the ironing, I love freshly ironred sheets etc on the bed.

This morning I am going to start on my sewing room, sorting out the fabric that is going to Linus, I also have a Brother A60 sewing machine to sell as well as a scan and cut which has never been used. I want to liquidate some cash. I am hoping to move one of the bookcases out, thus making some extra space. After I have sorted the sewing room it is the turn of the garage, with some help from Trevor who is starting back next week. I am keeping both of the sewing?embroidery machines for now, eventually, if we have to move into a smaller property, I will keep the smaller one and will be selling my big one.

I aim to sell off the excess stuff from the garage as well. We have made the decision not to buy any plants this year, so I have excess flower pots to go. I am going to put the plastic ones at the gate for anyone who wants them to take, there are several very large ones to go. There is also a plastic grow house and a cold frame which we will no longer use. At last DB has realised that his gardening days are over, so I am going to donate the seeds we have.

My knees are both protesting this morning, even though its dry and fairly warm. I have remade the physio appointment I missed, its next week. That is going to be a busy week starting from this Friday when they are replacing both gas and electric meters. So a week of chaos ahead.

We have scones left from Mothers Day so will have afternoon tea today to finish them up. We can have a light supper if we need it later this evening.

Washer has finished so need to tackle putting it on the whirly........

Done it

 went out in the car this morning and drove round the square, backed the car in, the bleeper sounded, so I stopped and got out the car. It felt a bit strange, the reverse has been switched round to the place it was in my old Fabia, so much easier.

Shattered now, so going to pout my feet up for an hour. DB is having a snooze, we miss the hour we lost, but it will be later getting dark.

This coming week I have two jobs to do, fill in and return some forms and also tackle the mess that is the sewing room, there is stuff in there I need to put in the garage and also fabric that needs sorted for the Linus ladies. We have a house inspection booked for 7th April, so it needs to be tidy by then. I am going to have a shot at putting the little Brother machine on to sell it. Will have to take a big loss on it but it has to go.

Saturday

Very tired this morning, managed just over 7 hours. Mothers day gift from DD2 and family, Cornish cream tea, so we will have afternoon tea and a snack for supper.

I have driven the car, just up the drive to its usual parking spot, hoping to go for a short drive either later today or tomorrow.

Another sunny day, 15c according to Alexa.

Chicken out for supper tomorrow, defrosting in the fridge. Melon also in there for breakfast tomorrow.
