Visiting

After yesterday's PJ day, today has been busy. Laundry washed overnight, hung out on the new whirly. 10.30am, I was on my way to see DB. He was dizzy, he had seen the Dr. I had hoped to speak to the Dr myself, but after waiting for over 2 hours, I had to leave. I did not want to get caught in heavy traffic, I arrived home at 3.45pm.

I brought the washing in, we had a couple of rain showers whilst I was out, the laundry was a bit damp, so it's on the airer in the conservatory. I then went out and surveyed the pots, I have moved a few, but had to give up, my back was complaining. Will may be move a couple more tomorrow. There is quite a lot of rubbish to go to the tip. There will be a lot more before I have finished.

I have had my supper, so once  I have put the plates etc in the dish washer I will settle down to watch TV.

Sunday

DD1, SSIL and GGS turned up before lunch. Curtains up, so everything done,

GGS was fascinated with the sewing machine, I made a bookmark for him.

Drove over to see Edwin, I was not happy, but not much I can do, he got distressed when I had to wait an hour for a porter to take me back to the entrance. I finally got home at 6.30pm having left here at 2.30pm.

I have phoned this morning, they said he was ok, why am I sceptical about that. He will see a Dr tomorrow.

I am having a pyjama day today, will go in tomorrow and see what's what.

Update

DB has been admitted so they can see if they can find out whats going on. The Dr rang last night and I went through everything from the year dot, he was very nice, and thanked me for my help. Rang this morning and he has been admitted. Apparently he came round sometime duting the night, has had his breakfast and was getting a wash. I will go in late this afternoon. Cleaner is here and DD1, SIL and GGS coming after lunch.

Og course I coould not sleep, although my waych tells me I slept, in bits, for 6 hours+ not bad really.

Cleaner is here, I am going to get as much rest as I can whilst he is in hospital, I just hope they do not put him back to how he was last Septermber when he came out.

Max came yesterday, cleared out the weeds yet again and also dug out half the day lilies that had been allowed to spread. He has sprayed all round with roundup. Once the slabs have been jet washed I will get the filler that you brush in and it sets so weeds cannot penetrate.

Fine sunny morning but very chilly, autumn comes on. I did check the central heating yesterday, it works very well. I went round and turned down all the thermostatic valves so just the sitting room rads are on now. I need to sort out how to set the timer so it comes on automatically when we need it.

So

I managed to keep DB out of hospital for 12 months.......this afternoon he was taken to A&E after collapsing. He had a partial collapse this morning, but at lunchtime he went off again........I could not get him round, so ambulance called and he was on his way. He had been fine for the last couple of days........

So I am waiting to phone in a couple of hours to see what's going on.

In the mean time I have sorted out the felt to do Santa, Rudolf and the sleigh. Whether I actually do it remains to be seen.

 

On the last leg

 Of the nativity scene for the coffee ladies. My Lumi decided she was going to give me agro.......2 broken needles, 2. Bobbin winds needed and two lots of travels pulled through. She is being baby sat at the moment DB is asleep so I am keeping a close eye on her. It really bugs me when a design is almost finished and something happens. I have to start again.

Both had a haircut this morning, DB also had his beard shaved off. I had my wild witch of the west hair tamed down. Will have to wash it in the morning, get rid of the loose bits.

I managed to order 2 toasting loaves and also 2 x 4pt cartons of milk from Morrison on my order, have managed to get the bread in the freezer and the milk in the fridge.

DB has requested sausage and macaroni cheese for his supper. So that's what he will get.

Time Off

 Today was my 2 hours off. Visit to get a key recut then Lidl for a couple of things we needed. I suddenly thought, where did I put that key. Frantic search through my pockets and hand bag........no key....I went back to the ironmongery, some one had handed in... I must have dropped it when I put something in my coat pocket.

Lidl appear to be moving everything round the middle aisle is no longer and everything has been moved round

Once home I tried the key, after a bit of a wiggle it worked, phew.....

Supper tonight fish fingers, butter mash spuds, peas and parsley sauce...... no pudding planned, will see how DB feels after he has eaten his fish fingers.

Sewing machine broke a needle and made a right mess of what I was sewing, will leave it till tomorrow now. It really hisses me off when that happens........

 The garden now the trees and shrubs have been trimmed back, just need the terrace and patio jet washed and resealed and I have a more or less blank canvas to work with.
