Sunny Morning

Sitting in the conservatory is quite pleasant, the sun is warm through the glass. I have been out in the garden,  much to my surprise I found a tiny cyclmen growing through a crack in the paving. I will have a go at getting it out and plant it in the garden.

DB had a bad day yesterday, ended up in bed at 8pm. The Dr rang me, he is putting DB back on the medication he came out of hospital with.........I also spoke to him about my Dexa scan, the scan showed further weakness in the base of my spine, despite being on the medication for 6 years. I go for my first injection next week.

DB is having stovies tonight. I will probably have a ding dinner.

Tuesday

Woke to rain, arghhh I had a load of laundry to hang out. We have recently switched to a cheap fuel deal, between 2am and 5am the electricity is virtually half price. Both the washer and dish washer have delay timers on, so set them to start after 2am, wake up to washing done and dishes dry..........peak time is 4pm to 7pm just the right time to catch cooking the evening meal!! I need to work out how to avoid that..........we always eat the main meal of the day around 5pm.

DB is ok, just a couple of small dizzys yesterday, he is now walking at least twice a day round the sitting room and doing his leg exercises. Will be starting him walking to the toilet again too.

Supper tonight is egg salad with new potatoes, choice of a couple of desserts.

Where did that week go?

Time has got away from me again. Looking after DB is a full time job, however, I did manage a bit more cleaning up in the garden. I need to sort out the two planters that are going on the front.

The cleaner was here yesterday, so everywhere is clean. Its turned cold in the mornings so I have the heat on in the sitting room. DB complained his legs and feet were cold, so 3 pairs of woollen knee socks,  he can just get his slippers on over them.

DB 's progress is slow, a week in and he is still using the Cammode to move round, I need to get him to do a short walk twice a day, easier said than done. He finished the dizzy tablets on Thursday, yesterday they returned. I have a phone appointment booked with the Dr. On Wednesday, will see what he has to say.

Supper tonight will be gammon parsley sauce, roast spuds and veg. Creme caramel for dessert.

Brrrr

It was cold thus morning, carer was late and not the one we were exexpecting. DB had his breakfast before he came, so a short morning. Grocery  delivery, I forgot DB's orange juice.

The sun came out after lunch, it was quite warm in the conservatory. Ironing lady brought the ironing back. For the first time since we moved in August 25 all the sheets etc are in the right container.

Supper tonight crustless quite and salad, a variety of dessert on offer, custard tart, cheesecake or chocolate mousse.

Sorted

Gas lady arrived after lunch, she had to change the meter, she confirmed that it was actually a smart meter but had not been linked to the electricity, when she tried to link it, no joy, so a new meter was fitted, tested and an in home display left on the side in the utility room. I can check each day what we have used and the cost. That does not include the standing charge or VAT but gives an approximate amount.

DB and I had words last night..........I was very angry with him, so much so I could not sleep. He did apologise this morning, but I know the same thing will occur again.........I had made certain promises, and I intend to keep them, but no way is it going to be easy.

Its a dull cold morning, yesterday it got up to 24c today we will be lucky if it reaches 20c.......bŕrrrrrr......I am holding out putting the heating on.......I need to get to grips with the controls, which is not going to be easy.

DB was elected to have spag bol tonight, no idea what I am going to have.......his will be a ding dinner.

Today is my 2 hours off, I might pick up something whilst I am out.

Waiting for the gas man

Was up at 7.15am, after a disturbed night. DB was fidgeting, so I knew he was awake.

Carer was prompt, so we had our breakfast in the sitting room. I had towels to hang out, they are moving in the slight breeze. The sun broke through around 11am.

I filled two flasks with boiling  water, the electric will be switched off whilst the meter is changed, I hope they do not rock up before lunch or DB will be having cold soup.....

Keep doing bits in the garden, I could do with some sort of edging to keep the soil from spilling onto the slabs. Do not want to spend a fortune if I have to buy it. I have spent more than enough on having the trees cut back.

I need to get my mojo up, I have the felt out to make Santa, Ruldolf and the sleigh for GGS. Its just getting it cut out and started. I need to be sure DB is ok before I start. I may have to resort to sewing when he is asleep!!

Supper tonight, sausage, potato wedges and beans. There is melon left for dessert.
