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.

Yet more rain

Woke to blue skies, soon turned to grey and persistent rain. Nipped off to collect the curtains, ready to go up once the rail is up.Cannot wait now to get the place finally sorted and straight. It is almost 3 weeks since we moved in.

It feels quite cold after the weeks of constant heat, will not be putting the heating on, although I ought to test it before winter arrives.

Definite decision, the sewing room is to be tackled starting Monday, so I need to decide what is going where.

DB has asked for cheese on toast and raspberry jelly for supper, so that's what he will get. I will cook chicken tomorrow, if he does not eat it then tough.

Rain

It has rained for most of the day, on and off. DB asked ifcI knew where his sketching stuff was, I found it in the cupboard in what will be my sewing room when I finally get round to it. He is going to start drawing again.

Aaron came to look at the terrace etc, I was horrified to see the weeds that Max got out last week have grown again. I will be getting some weed killer tout suite.

DB did not eat his supper again tonight......he did manage the fish, but very little else.

It poured with rain again this evening, we had the proms on tonight, Richard Strauss. Very Germanic........

Tomorrow I need to go and collect the curtains I took to be shortened, hopefully we will get them up soon. Rick will be back from his holiday next week.

What a change

Just after 8am it started to rain, continued until about 2pm. Good job we are notcat the bottom of a hill!!

I managed to sort out the bookcase, there are some spaces from things we have got rid off. Now I just have to sort the sewing room. I have decided to close the door fromS the kitchen to the hall and clear out everything that's on the floor, get the table ready for the big machine and move the small machine, in its box, into Claires room for now, then maybe I can get the rest sorted.

DB has had a couple of iffy days, hope he improves for us to go to Hose for coffee next week.

Supper tonight, egg for DB, cornbeef for me with salad and the rest of the strawberries for dessert.
