Rain

Thank goodness I washed the bed linen on Saturday, its raining steadily this morning, just have to iron it sometime this week.

I had another long phone chat with DB's doctor yesterday, as usual when he is in hospital he is having vacant moments.....they are trying to get to the bottom of them, they are not prepared for him to come home until they have exhausted every avenue. I think they are in for a struggle. I will phone later when the consultant has done his rounds. I can see him being transferred to another ward.

Yesterday was another day of phone calls, the chap who was in the bed opposite DB phoned to speak to him, he was surprised that he was not home.

I cooked myself a roast supper yesterday, not used to cooking for one. I have some mince defrosting, will make myself a shepherds pie for tonight.

I had another bad night, it was well after 3am before I fell asleep, I had to wake at 7am to take my osteo medication. Am on the last lap with my other pills, finish them tonight.

Quote in for the changes to the herbaceous border, will discuss it with DB see what he thinks. It might be better done in the autumn but I want to cut down on what he does in the garden, weeding that border is a nightmare. It looks lovely but does take some weeding. I plan to leave the large shrubs in at the back and also the clematis and roses on the arch etc, the weedproof membrane can be split round them and pinned down. Some of the plants will be potted up, I want to save the hostas. I can see some big pots on the horizon. The lilies need repotting the present pot is too small.

Stuck for something to watch last night I started watching the last series of Downton on ITV.

I have been watching Andre Rieu's concerts on facebook, I love them, just the sort of thing I like, good music but not too serious. Toying with the idea of getting one of his DVD's DB would love it. We have a DVD player in the TV.

Cleaner due this morning, the place is quite tidy for a change, I am going to have to move stuff in the sewing room when the chap comes to fit the blinds. Not looking forward to that, but needs must. Grocery delivery due at lunchtime. I ordered thinking that DB was going to be home, so some stuff will go in the back bedroom cupboard.
