How weird, Dove! Punkdoc, I got back to sleep around 5am and then slept through till 8.30. I suspect I was only woken by the Green waste recycling lorry, making a terrible racket. I hope it will get a service while it’s off duty during January, the lift mechanism for the bins was squealing something awful, sounds well overdue for some lubrication or whatever they do to it. Luckily I wasn’t feeling fed up, the book I’m reading, which had started off rather sombrely has become a lot more cheerful, and kept me entertained for an hour. OH reports that he doesn’t sleep well when I’m away.
Afternoon all. Xmas tree bought, bottom sliced off and now in a bucket of water till tomorrow. Farm which sells them said they didn't have much stock left as they have been selling like crazy for over a month. Not sure I could keep one looking good for that long.
Well, I didn't even make it until the 6 o'clock news. I sat in a comfortable chair with my book and before I knew it I'd had a little snoozette. I shall now be able to watch the news in the sure and certain knowledge that I've cut my chances of falling asleep before the end down by half.
Our tree is standing in the garden for now, will bring it in next week. Last year we put it out on the patio. Still in its water clamp type container where it still had all it’s needle on until June. I only dumped it then because I needed the room. not bad value for £25.00.
Gardening on the wild, windy west side of Dartmoor.
Treated ourselves to a walk on the seafront, plenty of fresh air and a bit of exercise. I’ve now braved the spiders in the loft, and brought down the four year old artificial tree. It’s now assembled in the corner of the living room. I’ll post a picture on the other thread when I’ve decorated it.
Strange @Dovefromabove ... wonder what the story is there??
Does that mean they can’t offer you the care at home package at all @Hostafan1?
I know social care is in big trouble but not being able offer palliative care at home is a disgrace. I hope you can find a set-up that ensures hubby is safe, comfortable and cared for with you present as much as possible. Hugs.
Had a quiet day off and just had sausage and mash, with parsnips and peas, so full up now. Bought a few gifts online as didn’t fancy a toy shop trip as probably a mother-load of germs in there 🤢 (yes I know I work in a hospital but kids = germs IMO).
Hope all are ok. Enjoy tree decorating, all those partaking.
