So, its Thursday

By yesterday DB had recovered from his vertigo attack, we set off for Hose to spend time with our friends.

Yesterday was also my 2 hours off. I went to Morrison and QD. My regular order from  morrison came this morning. I spent some time sorting out bulbs from the pots. I did buy a couple of fuchsia plants, they are hardy, so can stay out all year.

The last couple of days have not been quite so warm, there is a chilly breeze. By and large the weather has been good for the time of year.

Supper last night was egg and chips followed by raspberry donuts, yummy. Tonight we have Cornish Pasties with veg and gravy, lemon cheesecake for dessert

Quiet day today

 Carer was late this morning, I nipped into the shower whilst DB got his wash. He has had a couple of slight dizziness today, he slept on his back last night. I had a horrendous night less than 2 hours sleep.

Load of washing done, it's on the airer.

I went through the silver and gold ornaments, 3 short of the silver ones so I set the machine up to do them. We are hoping to go to the coffee morning this week, so I will take them for Ros.

DBwatching the snooker. I am struggling to finish the second jumper, finished the sleeves, half way up the front, hopefully will finish it later this week.

Supper tonight, sweet and sour chicken, lemon sponge for pudding.

Thats the weekend over.

DB got up yesterday, although we were both back in bed at 8pm. Today was a bit of a repeat from yesterday and once again, in bed at 8pm.

The cleaner came today, I was able to nip out whilst she was here for some bits from Lidl.

Roast pork for supper, true to form half of it was left, but enough room for lemon cake........not amused.

I am afraid my knitting is going to have to stop, I had not done any since last Monday. This afternoon I decided to start the second sleeve of the jumper I am knitting. The pain in my right hand was awful, so I will finish the jumper and retire my knitting needles. I am living on pain killers just now. Sleep is still a problem........everything seems to be fast tracking at the moment, however I will survive.

.? First day of summer

 DB is confined to bed, if he stands up he passes out. He has slept for a good part of the day, I joined him once the carer had been and washed his hands, face legs and feet. I cancelled them for tonight. T kindly came at lunch time so I could go to the post office for cash and post a parcel.

He seems a bit better this afternoon, he had a roll at lunchtime, lasagne for supper. I managed a siesta after lunch.

Hopefully he will be better tomorrow and able to get up. He will have to miss his scrabble though.

Sunny day

It was a sunny morning, got a message that friends were calling in to see us, so a quick run round with the hoover, made the bed and a plate full of sarnies.

We were due to go to have our eyes tested this afternoon, getting ready to go DB succumbed to a nasty dizzy. Its the first time he has had one like that for ages. I managed to get him into his chair, it was over 2 hours before he came round. Appointments cancelled.

Friends came, lunch went down well, R wanted some more book marks and also took some the the spectacle cases. She wants Christmas Dec's for the tree about 20, so I need to sort through what I have and if I need to make any more.

DB came round eventually, did not want any supper, so he will get it tomorrow night instead.

Its been a lovely day, sun shining, a bit of a breeze, but not as windy as yesterday. I had a corned beef and coleslaw roll and a couple of fairy cakes for my supper.

The weekend

Saturday was a quiet day, storing up energy for Sunday. 

DB was up in good time, we left about 10.30......needless to say I got lost, DD2 had to meet me at Morrison to guide us in. DB managed the 2 steps into the house.......he sat in DSIL's relaxer chair. DD1 was ironing in the conservatory. DSIL and I went round the garden looking at shrubs trees and plants.......the magnolia still had some flowers on it.

Cup of tea and a large cream bun went down very well. We stayed a couple of hours DB walked down the steps and to the car, SIL put the wheel chair in for me and we set off home. We were both tired, DB slept for an hour or so. SIL has done a fantastic job with the decorating, he is about to start on the garden, there is quite a bit needs doing, shrubs to thin out and the shrubs at the back of the garden need trimming so it's level and forms a hedge that protects the garden from the neighbours at the back.

I had a problem with my hands yesterday, not used to driving a distance, they rebelled, so I was back on the pills.

Practice nurse has been this morning we have had covid and the new injection against a chest virus. So we are all dosed up.

Supper tonight will be beef casserole with veg. DB will have a banana for dessert

Sunny again

15c is predicted for today, falling to 2c overnight. I have put the geraniums out in a sheltered spot, all the pots need watering which I will do later when the sun has gone down a bit.

SIL has finished the decorating for now, they are waiting for a plumber to fit a power shower before the bathroom gets the treatment. We are going over Sunday morning for a short visit. I have ordered a border collection of plants for them to be delivered direct.

DB is very tired again, he has spent most of the afternoon asleep.

I had a slightly better night's sleep last night.

Jumper for Sora is coming along, I have finished the sleeves and back, at the neck division on the front. I will sew it up when it's finished, then on to a bigger size for Emilio.

Fish and chips for supper, chocolate mousse for dessert.
