We should have webbed feet

It has been an awful rainy day again, 3pm and the sitting room lights are on. 

We went to Hose for the coffee morning. DB has been OK the last two mornings. It was Joyce's 96th birthday, we were treated to birthday cake and also given a cup cake each to bring home. It rained all the way there and home again, and it's still raining, at least it is not snow.

So far this week I have not slept for more that 5 hours for the last 3 nights........I need a decent night's sleep!!

Supper tonight chicken Kiev, baked tomato and new potatoes. We will have the cup cakes for dessert.

The sun is a shining

to welcome the day, with a hey ho of to the fair.....except there is no fair just the local market causing the usual snarl up in the town.

Its quite windy, carer said it was not too cold, certainly warmer than yesterday.

Fed up with DB complaining about his tablet so struggling to sort out my old samsung tablet for him.........

Laundry up to date, last load drying on the airer in the second bedroom. I need to have the iron on to press a pair of trousers and also the bits for Sora's cardigan, I need to sew it up and knit the ribbed button band.

Supper tonight, salmon, baby potatoes and peas.

I need to finish loging our spending etc up to date, March will soon be with us and hopefully lighter evenings. I really hate the winter the dark days really depress me.......

No idea

Why the previous post did not come up as it should. Its now Monday, and it cannot make its mind up if its raining or sunny, keeps coming over with dark clouds and then the sun shines. The account locked me out, had to go through hoops to get back in......I am also trying to set up my old tablet fpr DB, the one he has is so slow.

Early call this morning, a carer we have not seen since before the new year....... DB had a VM and then fell asleep!!! He seems to be having them more frequently just now, often with a dizzy attack straight after.

Have been sorting out some banking bits this morning, needed to sort out our savings accounts, have rolled them all into one.

Mum and baby are home, E does not seem to be really bothered about the new arrival, just looked and then walked off.

Supper tonight mince and mash with veggies.

Wet, wet, wet

 We woke to rain and a telephone call from the carers, our carer for today had called in sick, so visit could be anytime. However they arrived just after 9am.

DB having dizzy spells when he wakes up.

Around 10.30 am I heard shouting, but unable to see any one, 10 minutes later 2 fire engines rolled up to the bungalow in front of us on the left. Firemen rigged up against smoke which was pouring out the garage........they were here for over an hour and have been back to check, no idea what the problem was.

New baby still in hospital, brother was taken in to see him yesterday, took one look and walked away!! Obviously not impressed.

I am on the last sleeve of the cardigan for Sora, will have it to sew up and knit the button band and sew it on. Knitting it reminded me of the hours I have spent knitting for my own children and also numerous friends and relatives offspring. Also cardigans, jumpers, hats, gloves and even socks.........my grandma used to knit my winter socks before I went to senior school. I also remember itchy knitted vests.......my first ever attempt was to knit a jacket for my baby cousin, I was 10. At around 14 I was on holiday at my great aunts in Sussex, I was given a kit for a chunky knit cardigan for my birthday. I knitted it in a week, it was bright red. I was given bright yellow wool to knit a second one, finished it on the train going home!! Neither of my girls knit........weird that.

Supper sausage and bean casserole with mash, DB will have a banana for dessert.

Funny weather

it was fine when we got up, then it started to rain and continued heavily for a couple of hours. We now have sunshine and blue sky, but its freezing.

Cleaner came this morning, so we changed the bed, the sheets etc are in the washer to wash over night, tomorrow I will wash and try the towels on the night setting.

DB has has several days when he has had episodes when getting washed and also after he has changed his clothes for bed. No idea why, but its getting tiresome

Supper tonight is egg and chips, I forgot to order fish yesterday so it will have to wait until next Thursdays order. 

Better night

 I managed over 8 hours last night, wonders will never cease!!

Today was my 2 hour respite, so a visit to Aldi, the library and Boyes. I bought some double knitting wool to knit a cardigan for the new baby due this weekend. Chickened out and bought blue!!

Carer came and sat with DB, she got him ready for bed before she left, so she will have an early finish.

Cheese pie and beans for supper, we have not had it for ages. I have a problem getting strong cheese for it so used two different ones. Red Leicester and cheddar.

I have started the  cardigan for Soar....... hopefully I will get it finished before he gets too big to fit in it. Apparently he is longer than Emilio was.

Rain..........

It has rained most of the day. Carer was very late this morning, so DB was very late getting up, so the day has been very slow.

The new baby, Soar arrivedt his morning 10 10am.so life is going to be interesting at DD2's from now on.

I started knitting a cardigan for the baby last night, back and almost one front done. Its ages since I did any knitting, had  job to find the right needles.

Supper, quiche and salad with baby potatoes, DB had a banana for dessert, I had some grapes.
