A Reflective Day

Today was DB's brother in laws funeral. We were sad not to be able to go, but long distance travel is a no no. We were lucky that it had been decided to video it on a live link and also on Y Tube. I managed to connect my tablet to the TV, there was no sound, which was a bit disappointing, but this afternoon I was able to pick it up on Y Tube and there was sound on that.

As we expected there were a lot of people in the congregation and 25 family members there.

I had sent a bouquet to M in the week, I must be telepathic or something, the wreath on B's coffin were the same as the bouquet........I had sent.

DB has been up and down this week, it has rained solidly all week, very depressing. I have resurrected a crochet project that has been hanging around for ages. I havevrun out of wool, so will have to see what I can find. I did managed to get some from Aldi, but it is too dark for the present project.

Supper tonight was fish fingers and chips, no dessert.

New month

and with it threats of prolonged snow storms.......starting in Scotland tomorrow. We just have a very dull day, at least its not raining.

Not a lot to report, life goes on much as usual. DB did go to Scrabble on Saturday which gave me an extra hour. to myself. Cleaner here yesterday, she put the new bedroom curtains up for me, they come right down to the floor, so help to keep the cold out, in the summer they will help to keep the bedroom cool too.  Thermal linings. Laundry  sheets etc. Has been collected for ironing, load in the washer for tonight, it will go on the airer in the morning.

Sausuage, mash and beans for supper tonight, DB will have a banana for dessert. 

Back again

 Seem to have missed a couple of days, nothing much going on. I did get my 2 hours off yesterday, got everything done I needed to and more besides.

DB has had a couple of good days, he started off dizzy this morning, but is fine now.

Its another dull day, we have had some rain. Lots of flooding in various parts of the Country, especially in the south. There have also been a couple of cliff collapses, one in Norfolk, the other in Devon. Part of a railway line ended up in the sea.

Egg salad for tea tonight, grocery delivery today, I stocked up with meat at Aldi yesterday, so have meat for several  meals in the freezer.

Another resonable sleep

two nights on the trot.

DD2 came with her daughter and 2 grandsons. E is waling very well now, he had some new shoes on, they have socks built in, they are to wear in the house. We were also bought a bag of toys to be played with when they come. E is still largly ignoring the new baby until he cries or fills his nappy. One is greeted with fingers in the ears and the other, holding his nose and shouting POO!

Beef casserole for supper, carrot and leeks in the casserole, so just mashed potato with it. Apple and blackberry crumble for dessert.

Seem to have missed a day

DB had a bad day yesterday, but he did manage to go to the lounge and play scrabble in the afternoon. I have had 2 reasonable nights, so not feeling quite so tired.

Set up the new freesat box, we wait to see what it's like, so far the picture is better, need to check the sound.

 DB is watching the bowls final. I have found he does not fall asleep so much if there is something to watch he is interested in. There was an old Carry On film on yesterday which he watched, we also watched the last programme we had on the old freesat box.

Supper tonight, shoulder of lamb, roast spuds and parsnips, calebrease and cauliflower. I used up the last of the blackberries in a crumble for dessert with apples from the fridge.

Another

wet and windy day.

I have not much to report, DB did his dying swan act this morning, I have no idea why he does it. 

Have heard from my SIL, they have a removal date 30th January so at least they will have moved before they go away.

DD2 tells me they are hoping to come up with Emilio and Sora on Monday as long as its not raining.

Supper tonight is fish, creamed potato, cauliflower and calebrease. Probably a slice of Christmas cake with some cheese instead of dessert.

 

Late posting

 Its been one of those days, DB decided to throw a wobbly getting dressed, so I had to finish dressing him when he was compus mentis again. He complained he was dizzy a couple of times.

I had ordered a new freesat box, our old one could only record one programme at a time. We had bought it a number of years ago, the new one can record 4 programmes whilst we watch a fifth. I needed to collect it. Whilst I was in the shop I picked up a couple of lamb hot pots for ding dinners and bought a new tee shirt and jumper. I need to try them on.

Supper was egg and chips. I had some Christmas cake left, so we had a couple of slices as dessert.
