Thursday

I spoke too soon about sleeping well! I got to bed last night and could not get to sleep! I did finally sleep and Totty didn't wake me so 'swings and roundabouts'.

I did get up early today and got into doing all my jobs I had in mind.

Jon and I had to go out and look at kitchens this morning and we saw one we like and the guy is coming round on Tuesday morning to have a look what we need and to do the plan.

We then went to Costa at Tesco to have a coffee and had a conversation with the lady there as she asked us if we knew what a 'flat white' was!!!!!! She did make us a very good one though with a picture on the top.

As we were walking out I met one of the nurses from the Rookery and she was surprised to see me and we had a chat, a long chat. We then went back to the car and met yet another nurse from the Rookery and another quick chat and the promise of a catch up over a coffee.

We got home and Jon got stuck into painting the office and I finished my shopping list and went out to Waitrose stopping off to see if Rene wanted anything on my way.

I had so much to buy and it took me ages finding things. I could nto believe it when I bumped into yet another nurse from the Rookery!! And another chat.

I carried on shopping but as I was walking around not sure how but I hit my toe on the trolley, broke the nail and blood all over it. It is now VERY sore.

Finally finished the shopping and as Jon had called me on my mobile I then had to go and buy some radiator paint rollers which he had asked for. I finally got back at 2.00.

Jon was waiting for his lunch so I made that and then put all the shopping away. We are running out of space and I am not sure where we are going to put everything when I have to clear out the kitchen.

I still needed a few things Heather had asked me to get for the 'Girls Night In' tomorrow so had to go out again to Tesco to finish the shopping. I could not believe it when I bumped into one of the receptionists from the Rookery as I was leaving! It is not surprising I am not getting very far with my sorting.

Back home I started to do what I had wanted to do this morning - clearing the conservatory and clearing a space in the utility for all the cookery books.

Jon had finished the painting, two coats, but still needs more to cover the dark colour. He had wanted to cut the grass but could not start the mower and was getting very frustrated thinking that it was because he does not have the strength anymore. I tried and it was difficult and I could not start it either. We will have to get James or Jason to try and if not take it to be repaired.

The electrician came and we told him what we wanted done and he will get that sorted for us. It is just the outside lights and a light in the bedroom taken down and a new light for the conservatory.

I cooked dinner and we had some Slimming World chips which are very good and some cod with a herb crust which was also very nice and not at all like diet food.

My toe is really painful now. I keep trying to ignore it and hope it will get better soon.

WEATHER
Sunny with some late cloud 21 degrees
