Friday

A pretty dark and miserable start to the day this morning.

I woke and was opening the curtains to see Mark, the gardener, pulling up outside Rene's house to start the cutting back of her shrubs, in the rain!!!

I had breakfast and then went over to Rene's just after ten to wait for Tracy from Plumb's to come and measure the chair.

I changed the dressing on Rene's foot and then we sat and chatted and looked out at what Mark was doing in the garden. By 11.10 still no sign of Tracy so I went home and called her and left a message on her mobile.

I made a coffee and then looked out and saw Tracy arrive so went back over.

It took ages for her to pin and measure the chair, glad it was only a chair and not a suit!!! She ha finally finished at 1.00but Mark was still cutting back in the garden and making a good job of it.

I went back home and made lunch for Jon and I and then I went shopping to Tesco to buy some fish for dinner and then onto Homebase to buy a plug. I also picked up a few Christmas things!

On my way back I popped in to see Mary and had a cuppa and a chat. It was nearly five o'clock when I left and I though Jon would think I had got lost.

As I got home Jon had just put the kettle on so I had another cup of tea! My plans to make a lemon cake out of the window as it was too late.

I unwrapped the cake I made yesterday and it smells so boozy, I hope they like it! I wrapped it in paper and foil and will leave it till we need to marzipan it as I don't think it needs anymore brandy!

We had fish and Slimming World chips for dinner and it was very good. Heather is out with people from work tonight and staying at her friends so not back till tomorrow.

Jane rang this evening and told me that Jason had fallen down the stairs last night and was in pain at 4.00 in the morning so went to A&E and he has a split bone in his finger. They strapped it up and he needs to go to the fracture clinic on Monday. This is not what they need right now with a house move in the next few weeks.

We watched Children in Need on TV and it is amazing just how much money is raised and what good causes it goes to. Makes me cry to see all these sad stories.

WEATHER
A wet start but fine later 11 degrees
