Christmas is coming

 The last week has been busy one way or another. Monday was white wash day, it was dried in the dryer.

Tuesday was busy, post office in the morning and then to see B. We dropped a load into the Air Ambulance shop, I was horrified they charged  £2.95 each for a mince pie!! We then spent an hour with B. She is looking well, not looking forward to Christmas though, she and A are still reeling from The death of A's wife in the summer. We then went on to the Council Offices for a meeting. Neither of us could sleep, so tea was made.

We overslept Wednesday.  After breakfast we set off for the last coffee morning of 2023. We learnt that one of the ladies had been taken to hospital on Sunday, she appears to have possibly had a TIA. She is back home now. Not many of us there for coffee, we only stayed for about an hour.

Shopping at Aldi, did not spend as much as last time. I did buy a stalk of brussels, I left it on top of the storage box by the back door, they keep for ages. DB had an appointment at the surgery for blood tests and a BP check. He has came home with a BP monitor again!! I am so fed up, if they want his BP taking twice a day why don't they send the nurse to do it! I have enough to do without adding twice daily BP readings to the list. Not best pleased. Phone call from SIL wanting some family info, like me she has osteoporosis, apparently she fell last week, luckily she did not break anything, but does have concussion. They are off down to their sons in Cambridgeshire. He was going up Thursday night and travelling down with them for Christmas on Friday.

 Very little done on Friday, I was not feeling up to the mark and have not done so for the past few weeks. It was 8 years, since Nicholas was found dead, both boys have now passed away as well as my ex. 

Late start Saturday, it was well light. Reminded DB to do his BP, it was reasonable. He cleared out all the baskets of rubbish into the bin, he usually does it on Monday. He was so nose first into his family history he didn't do it on Monday.

Warmer day, bright sunshine......DB went up the garden to check the green house etc. Supper tonight is frittata and salad, we seem to have gone off desserts just now.
