Jon was up very early as he had a bad night again. Hopefully, when he goes to see the consultant next week she will be able to regulate the dose and it will get better for him. I also think curtains in our room to make it darker would help. I did email the agent and ask if we were allowed to put some up and I had a reply today saying the owners have asked her to get prices and she will come next week to measure up. Wow, we didn't expect that, we intended to pay for them ourselves. I have now told her we will make a contribution so we will have to wait and see what comes back.
Jon decided to work from home today which helped me as I was going to be out all day and I don't like leaving the dog for so long.
I left for the Red Cross and arrived just on 9.00 phew!! Les was there but really didn't look well and both Sharon and I told her she should have stayed home. I told her I would be very upset with her if I caught her bug and then passed it to Jon - we don't need that right now.
We had a busy morning in the shop. Some 'kind soul' had left a filthy three piece suit and two mattresses at the side of the shop. There is no way we could have sold them and they must have know this but it was an easy way to dump them rather than have to pay the council to take them. The Red Cross has to pay for things that go to the dump and it was really mean of them to leave them on our doorstep. I suggested to Sharon that she call the council and ask them to remove them and amazingly they said they would come and get them. You just don't believe some people.
I got myself ready to leave early to go to my keep fit lunch and I was suitably dressed in posh frock and sparkly earrings.
Ros had kindly saved Margaret and I a seat with her and Patricia from Lions was on our table, too and she gave me the cheque for $200 for the Cancer walk from Lions. We had a very jolly lunch with lots of laughs. We started with some entertainment from the Keynotes, a group of ladies singing songs and Christmas songs and they were very good.
Our lunch was really, really good with roast beef and fish with a lovely selection of vegetables and potatoes and a lovely salad that had strawberries in and was very nice. Pudding was Christmas pudding, custard, fruit salad and ice cream and all very nicely cooked.
We finally finished at 3.00 and I took Margaret home and then went round to see Bronwyn. She hardly has any voice and you can tell she is not well. She made a cup of tea and we sat outside and had a lovely chat and I was really glad I went as I think she really appreciated it. She cut me some lovely flowers from her garden but she doesn't know what they are called and after looking in my plant books neither do I.
I got home and Jon said he was feeling a little better and I made him a cup of tea and then he fell asleep and it was so lovely and sunny in our living room I had five minutes, too.
I cooked dinner for Jon and I just had some toast and Marmite as I was full from lunch.
We watched Coronation Street and that was it. I don't know where the days so!!
