Yes.....

 I managed to get the sewing room sorted, turned on the machine, could not remember what to do, sat staring at it for 5 minutes, then the memory began to return!! 

I also managed to get a chap to come and look at the garden with a view to getting things cut back and shaped. He is coming back on Tuesday to do the job. Photos are of the garden today. Will publish photos when the job has been done. I am looking forward to planting the bulbs we had in pots in the spring.

The pots also need some work. The second rhododendron was badly affected by the sun, and has given up the ghost, I will have to replace it. The hydrangea has stood up to the sun quite well.

DB managed to eat all his supper tonigh, agreed to have gammon with roast potatoes, cauliflower, broccoli and parsley sauce tomorrow.

Better day

 It was very grey and overcast this morning. DB'S carer was a lady we had not seen for a long time, it was good to catch up with her.

I have managed to almost clear the sewing room. The machine is up, the unit from the kitchen has been moved in, just some odds and ends need sorting and a couple of lamps re-uniting with their plugs.

Next thing to tackle, the curtain rails and get the curtains up, then the weeds in-between the paving slabs in the back, and cuttings to take and put in the conservatory for the winter, ready for next year. I also need more compost, will have to go up and see Colin and get him to deliver it.

We had fish and chips tonight from the fish shop, needless to say DB devoured every last bit!! Once a month treat.

What a day

DB was ok first thing this morning, had two dizzy does, one this morning before lunch and another just before supper......I went out to get two keys cut, one was fine the other, although it seemed to match, it did not open the door. This is what drives me mad about  where we live, no decent ironmongery where I can get keys accurately cut first go.

Garage cleaned out, cobwebs out, floor swept and hoovered with a industrial vaccum.

Friend came to sit with DB whilst I was out.

Casserole pork with rice, no idea if DB will eat it, if not his will go in the fridge, I cannot afford to waste food at the rate he is going. I got two Belgian buns whilst I was out, guess I will end up eating both!!

Its not stopped to rain all morning

 According to the internet its supposed to clear this afternoon.

Opened the door to the sewing room and closed it again, just cannot be bothered. DB is asleep. I had a better night. I need to try and find a way of DB sleeping upright, he keeps sliding down the bed, which is why he goes dizzy when he tries to sit up. I am going to try putting a pillow under his knees to see if that stops him.

Rang the hairdresser and asked her to come and cut both our hairs, she is coming next Thursday at 10am. We were supposed to be going to the coffee moening but just could not raise the energy, plus it was chucking it down with rain.

DB did not have supper last night so he is having it tonight, thank heavens for frozen dinners, I had not prepared anything. Am going to do belly prok with rice for tomorrow night, see how much of that he eats.

So Beef Lasange and shephers pie tonight, DB can have a banana for dessert.

Terrible night

Just 4 hours sleep, feeling pretty rubbish today, no more done in the sewing room, I have shut the door, think I might have done too much lifting yesterday.

Did manage a short nap this afternoon. We watched the Edinburgh Tattoo last night. Not sure why we bothered, nothing like the Tattoos we used to go to when we lived up there.Most disappointing.

It has been mainly fine and sunny today, it's just started clouding over, going very grey looking. I emptied the rain gauge yesterday, 2 1/2" of rain over the past 2 days.

We are having a ding dinner tonight. DB is having Lasagna, Shepherds Pie for me. There is one banana left DB can have it for dessert.

Started

 Today I started on the sewing room, some progress made but not a lot, still sorting out stuff, hopefully should get it sorted so I can get the sewing machine onto the table and put the carrying case in the garage. I purloined a blanket from the removers so I can wrap it up, hopefully will keep it clean. The carrycase for the arm will go in the bottom of the spare bed, then it will be all down hill and hopefully I can start on some new projects. 

DB has been OK today, ate most of his supper, no dizziness, so hopefully we will get a bit of peace for a couple of days.

Supper was cold chicken, calebrease, cauliflower and potato wedges, we finished off the raspberries in jelly.

Not a good day

Unfortunately DB stared the day with a dizzy, it has been coming and going all day.

Cleaner came this morning, she does such a good job.Lovely clean house again.

DB watched a film this afternoon, I started on the sewing room, but did not get far, I just seemed to be putting stuff away and then sorting it again. I found a pencil case and several sketch books belonging to DB, so he has no excuse.

Tomorrow I start again, it is going to be finished this week.

I moved the small machine into the second bedroom in its box, threw a cloth over it stuck a lamp on it and called it a bedside table..

Chicken, new potatoes, cauliflower and calebrese for supper DB ate it all and a bowl of raspberries in jelly.

Its been warmish all day, closed the consrvatory up, grey skies, lamps on in the sitting room. Waiting for the carer to come and get DB ready for bed.
