Ive been asleep most of the afternoon and evening. OH came hone from work and watered toms courgettes, beans and broccoli then cooked supper and washed up I'm going to watch Bake-off now, but might fall asleep again so I'll say goodnight. see you tomorrow - thanks for all your kindness
Gardening in Central Norfolk on improved gritty moraine over chalk ... free-draining.
I didn't get to the nursery. I spent most of the day waiting for a district nurse for Dad, only for her to turn up at 3pm, spend 5 minutes, agreed that a bungalow is OK for someone who is frail, and then took Mum shopping. Someone else might come to see if he needs grab handles in the toilet. I suspect this would be easier if we did it all ourselves, or maybe thats what they want
We were lucky - when Dad broke his hip,and since he looked after Mum, theycame and spent ages doing all the handles and bits and pieces to make it easier for both of them to manage themselves. Postcode lottery sometimes.
He was most taken with the doodah to help him put his socks on - it was like a litter grabber!
I think Dove was on the gin when she tripped...she's a terrible lush you know...
It's a place where beautiful isn't enough of a word....
I live in west central Scotland - not where that photo is...
Hi everyone, I've not been in since Monday.....we all caught the dreaded bug and on Monday night OH, big boy and me were all really ill - I spent most of yesterday in bed recovering and didn't make it to London Thankfully it was only a 24 hour but though so albeit nasty it was short lived and we are all better now
I've caught up a bit and big hugs for all those with poorly parents (Punk and Verdun as I recall and anyone else I've missed).
Huge hugs for Dove and GG with their gardening / DIY injuries, make sure you rest that ankle Dove (from the ankle expert )
I think Panda may be poorly too but not sure why? So hope Panda is better soon.
Hugs to anyone else I've missed.
Happy holidays to anyone who hasn't had them yet, I think some have been mentioned but can't remember who and happy Indian summer staycation to the rest of us
Thank you Nut for all my lovely seeds, they will be sown at weekend
I won't be around much for the next week or so, lots going on and I'm a busy bee but I'll be thinking about you all xx
