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.

We have sun again

forecast is for the hot weather to last until Tuesday, Monday is to be the hotest day..............

Have spent most of the morning trying to balance our bank account, it was driving me scatty, I checked 4 or 5 times, no luck, then went away and came back, had a payment in twice ggrrrrrr.

DB managed to slip out of his chair yesterday, He was asleep, I went into my sewing room, when I came back through he was sitting on the floor, he said he had no idea how he got there......He still got a more than a mouthfull from me. I had to ask our next door neighbour to help lift him back into his chair. Not something I need to repeat.

I nipped out to the post office to post a parcel and also get some cash and a couple of things I needed. He was ok when I got back. We are having fish and salad at lunchtime, he has asked for a roll for his supper.........I have strawberries as well. He will have a yourt at lunch time and strawberries tonight.

Back to the bad sleeping last night 2 1/2hours!!!

Dull start

but now the sun is blasting down, have the fan on, waiting for a parcel to be collected, have decided to turn my sewing room round putting the big machine on what was my cutting table.

Have been serching for the cable to charge DB's lap top, cannot find it anywhere, so have had to order a new one, I am going to label it when it comes.....make sure we do not loose it again.

I have also cleared a shelf on one of the shelf sets so I can make a store for some tinned food, there is not any room to store it anywhere else in the house, this is one of the big draw backs of this bungalow, there is no real airing cupboard to store bed linen either, I have had to mackle one together.

We had corned beef hash for lunch, poached eggs on toast for tea with strawberries and ice cream for dessert.

Hot again

Its very hot again today, I am struggling to do anything. Have decided that my cooking mojo has gone away, just do not seem to cook up to my usual standard for some reason.

DB is being a pain again, knew it would not last long, we are back on the bunged up route.......medication last night and the liquid through the day, still no result. If it does not reslove itself will have to ring the Dr yet again..............

He is moaning ablout a pain in his face......... no comment. He looks as miserable as I feel.

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...
