Home again.

DB arrived home at 2pm, exhausted, he has been sent hone with a cough and runny nose.......hardly ate any supper, what was the point in me cooking , when it ended up in the bin.

He was in bed by 8pm. Did watch a bit of TV, then proceeded to cough until the early hours.

He woke me at 6.30 sweating his nightwear was ringing wet. Ended up changing his clothes and sponging him down, did take his temperature but it was normal. 

He did settle down to sleep for a while, me? Wide awake.

Carer came and got him up, he had his breakfast and then slept until lunchtime, lentil soup and soda bread and he was asleep again until around 4pm. Carer came, ready for bed. Corned beef salad for supper, ate it all plus a nectarine and ice cream.

In bed by 7.30pm and asleep again. I managed just overce hours last night, did have a manage nap during the afternoon. Here's to tomorrow, hope it's a better day!!!

Todays the day

DB is due home sometime after lunch. I managed to get to Aldi and the library this morning.

Another okish night, 5 hours seems to be the limit so far, we will see what happens.

Had a fraught afternoon embroidering, I have managed 4 book marks, I will be glad to get the Lumi up on the desk I just hope it does not sulk because I have not used it for so long!!

Dry but windy day, keeps clouding over, but so far no rain.

Supper tonight fish with mash and peas with parsley sauce. DB can have ice cream if he wants it.

Off to prepare for DB's arrival.
 

The bed is here

 

Arrived before 10am, so all except the headboard is on and the bed made up. I did have to move one chest over to the other side next to a shelf unit. I still have some stuff to clear, but that will get moved later. I am shattered right now.

I started the bookmarks on the small machine. Ended up messing one up, so 8 more to do rather than 7.

No idea what time DB will get home tomorrow. I will get up early and go for the few bits of shopping I need and also to the library, was going to go today, then remembered the library is closed!!

Just about to sort out some lunch, might do more sewing later, will see how I feel. 5 + hours sleep last night.

Rain, rain and more rain

woke to heavy rain hitting the windows.....up showered and had breakfast, on my way to Hose for the coffee morning. Not many people there and B headed off to Doncaster. I took the preserving pan over for them to use at the harvest festival to display fruit etc.

Rosalind asked me to make 10 bookmarks, she wants white and the lily pattern, need to get the big machine up, all the designs etc are on there.

It was not raining so hard when I headed home, very grey skies and sporadic rain.

No real plans for this afternoon or what to have for supper. I need to clear the fridge out and wash it out, might do that after I have had some lunch.

DB's physio is ringing me after lunch, I may know more about him coming home then.

In to see DB

he was looking very bright, waiting for his lunch. The physio has been this morning, they are looking at him coming home at the weekend, so rang his carers, I will let them know when we are absolutly sure he is coming. I went another way today guided by the GPS, straightforward journey 32 miles there and back and very little traffic.

Called in to Morrison to get some fish and extra fruit......managed to spend over £30!! although I did buy a parlsey plant and a minautre orchid for the kitchen window cill.

Very little sleep last night, hope to have a better night tonight. Not sure what I am going to have for my supper......need to sort something out.

Going to the coffee morning tomorrow.

Sunny but windy

blue sky but the clouds are scudding along in the winds. Not such a good night 5+ hours, again kept waking up.

Plans for today, up to the tip with some rubbish, want to finish unpacking the two crates of sewing stuff and get the room hoovered ready for the bed. It will all go up on the cube shelves eventually when they are put together. Might also go to the library. I need to sort my flu and covid jab as well before DB comes home.

No visit today, will go in tomorrow morning. He was okish yesterday, physios in this morning.......

I had a shower and did the glass doors with vykal, will get cleaner Clare to have another go when she comes next week. I need to get as much rest as I can over the next few days, depends on when they decide DB is fit to come home.

Not decided whats for supper tonight yet. I have a chicken pie I might do some veg with it, will see how I feel later. I think a full pie might be too much, possibly when DB is home we will have half each. 

Its Sunday

Not such a good night, I watched the last night of the proms then read for a while, could not settle for some reason. Having a quiet day, no messing in the sewing room. It can wait till tomorrow.

Went into town and bit early, needed some soda crystals from savers, also picked up some imperial leather soap. I always take soap out of the wrapper and store it in drawers, it hardens up and lasts longer. My grandmother always used to do it.

Met DD2 at The Harbro for lunch,we both had roast beef, my goodness it was good. Cooked just the way I like it, yummy. No dessert, too full. The restaurant manager remarked she had not seen us for a while, gave her a synopsis of what has been going on, she sent her regards to DB, will tell him when I go in on Monday.

Heard from DB this morning apparently he had a vacant moment this morning, but was up for lunch. He is not happy with the food, says its horrible, said the soup was like water.

Think supper will be cheese and biscuits.
