Jon has an ear infection

I woke up and still have a bad neck so I think I might go to the osteopath on Monday for some emergency treatment as the chiropractor obviously isn't working.

Jon got up and showered after me and it was getting on for 9.00 and very warm so we took Totty out before having breakfast.

When we got back Kirsty called to give us her flight details for coming here. They will get the earlier flight from Melbourne as it is much cheaper. We could change ours but we will have to pay. They get in two hours before us to Tauranga and say they don't mind waiting at the airport. I said Heather could pick them up but she wants to wait. She said by the time they get off the plane and wait for their luggage it won't be so long. I explained to her that is was a really small airport and you walk straight into the terminal and your cases come off more or less the same time as you do. I think she might be surprised to see how small it is!!

We had finished chatting and I noticed Jon was prodding his ear and when I asked if it was sore he said it was. I said we should go to the doctor and he said what if they say I can't fly - silly man! How he thought he was just going to ignore it I don't know as by the time we got to the surgery he was in a lot of pain, it was Thailand all over again.

Fortunately our surgery sees emergency patients all day on Saturday and Sunday so he was in there within five minutes and they gave him antibiotics, ear drops and pain killers. We went off for a coffee and a muffin, he needed to take them with food, and within an hour he was feeling a bit better. Hopefully it will be fine by Wednesday.

I had bought some new bedding for Heather's bed and I washed it weeks ago and put it on the bed yesterday only to find the bed is king size and I had bought double so the fitted sheet does not fit and so we had to go and buy another today.

We popped in to buy some food at the supermarket. We did book a table to go out tonight but Jon is not up to it so we will go on Tuesday night instead.

We bought loads of different things at the supermarket this morning to get rid of cockroaches and Jon set traps, sprayed and set off a bomb thing in the garage where we keep the wood and we think they are coming from. Hopefully, at least one of them will help!!!

We sorted out so much rubbish that we have accumulated over the last two years and I sorted out drawers and my kitchen cupboards throwing out stuff that is out of date or I really won't use again. Tomorrow I will sort out some clothes which I never got round to today.

We took Totty out for a walk and it looked like we were in for a storm but it passed over and we were able to cook our bbq.

Jon went to bed early as he is still not feeling well. Hopefully, he will be much better tomorrow. Thank goodness I made him go to the doctor!! Just need my neck to get better now!!!
