Still in my shoes and slippers, getting used to walking in them again. Went to podiatry on Friday for my appointment and the feet are healing up nicely, so do not have to go back for three weeks.!
Big problem over the weekend, because the thermostat has gone in our immersion heater, so Vin has gone off to Waterloo this morning to buy a new one, it is 18" long so the shelf in the airing cupboard had to be removed. Good grie4f, the amount of stuff in there you wouldn't believe, it is all piled up on Jane's bed at the moment waiting to be gone through. I think the animal rescue in Freshfield will be getting some things for the cats and doggies.
Nice day today, after all ofthe rain yesterday, quite a lot of flooding againaround the country especially in Wales. Vin was saying that the fields were all very wet on the way to Crosby. The cats are tending to stop in at the moment, we haven't seen thekitties fromnext door for a little while, and Jessie won't go out, she definitely does not like the rain, but who does? Can't blame her really. She much prefers to stay in reclining on her new blanket.!
She stopped using her basket completely so I think Vin felt obliged to get her something else! He came back from Crosby one Sunday with a new blanket and she took to that immediately and now looks very much at home until she falls out of favour with that I suppose!!
Certainly was a bit of drama last night. We had just settled down to watch the news and then our recorded countdown with our coffee and oops the lights all went out! Vin went to the front to see if it wasjust our house, but it appeared that it was the whole village, and everyone else in the road was doing the same thing.He said it was really funny, all the neighbours out at the same time.
Strange in the house, so quiet, no noise at all, torches appearing from everywhere, it was like the old blackout days of the seventies. At least with those you knew what time this one was so unexpected. Good job it wasn't the middle of Winter, mind you we would have had a fire probably so some heat.
Funny just how much you rely on electricity, no microwave, no cooker although we still had the hob, no het, no electric blanket etc The power came back on at a quarter to nine and Vin got his pizza in the oven so he was happy. All ok now!.
jessie was not bothered except to lie in her comfy places and occasionally move around. Vin bought her a new blanket at the weekend which she really likes so now she is back beside her Daddy on the sofa.
Mucky basket gone and now a nice new blanket.
We two are very much creatures of routine I suppose. We get up at roughly the same time each day, tend to do the same sort of things, enjoy our morning coffees and a biscuit and so on etc., Doesn't really matter very much except when the routine gets changed. Since i had a sort of blip some weeks ago when it all changed. We still do roughly the same sort of things but a bit differently these days. Matters to no-one really just that I haven't been up in the afternoon to do my blog as i alwaysw used to so have got out of the habit of writing one. Just doesn't seem the same writing it in the morning really.
Big news... Shoes!!! I am finally after all the months and mnths of foot surgeries and podiatry treatments they finally put shoes and slippers onmy feet last week. makes such a difference from the ortho shoes that I seem to have been wearing for ever. I now have very funny looking feet, toes off all over the place, and wobbly big toes but at least i still have them, and now in shoes and slippers. Big thanks to Mr Butcher and bigger thanks to the podiatry team for tending them for solong.
Vin has and is still wonderful, so appreciated, Hedoes things that no-one should have to do and without complaint either, maybe the occasional grunt or sigh but who can blame him.
He has gone off to Tesco this morning todo some stocking upof the basics he said we didn't need much so hven't used the coupon that they sent us this time, he used that last week. He did a lovely mac and cheese last night, very tsty it was too, really enjoyed that.Beginning to get a taste for food again now, after a while,and that was lovely.
Little Jessie tends to stay downstairs mostly except in the morning if she is really hungry then she will come up and get him she never comesup to see me. not like lovely Rusty who used to come up and jump all over the keyboard and make allthe letters fil the page!!
On her way to get her Daddy!
Getting there ,after a dodgy few weeks and a lot of changes in our routines i think we are now getting there a bit. The last "blip" that i had really knocked me for six and took quite a long time to get over. poor Vin, has been an absolute saint, getting me food a making sure that I drink, because to be fair i am not good at drinking, hate water and will sip at orange, but don't drink loads like you are supposed to really. very naughty.
Podiatry each week, as usual, mostly at two in the afternoon or thereabouts. and the normal routines otherwise. Tesco on a saturday morning which Vin does with a list normally, and sainsbury's on a Sunday the same. I tend to have a go on the computer while he is doibng that .
Little jessie has had a few visits feom thekitties next door in the garden, not6 that she notices at all. They have sort of become closer enough to touch noses maybe but I don't Jessie tolerates other cats she has always been used to being on her own and with her Daddy!
Where are they?
Not been on for a while, just couldn't summon up enough energy for ages. having a go today to catch up for a whie.
Seemed to get a bit of a blockage thing going some wweeks ago, and this one really knocked me for six in bed for quite a few days and then slowly started to get on. Vinhas been absolutely completely wonderful, cooking clening doing the washing and everything else too. Amazing man!!
Big thing happened last week, we had a new tumble drier delivered and fitted. We had a Hotpoint machine which was one of those which had been recalled by the government by order, and weopted for an updated machine for £99 extra. It is slightly bigger than our old one so that is a bonus, and Vin reckons it is really good.So that was really good.
Brexit is STILL rearing its ugy head, It is all a real miss, we have buffoon Boris, Activist Jeremy people leaving partie3s all over town, just a total mess. God knows who to vote for next time.
Vin has gone off t Sainsburys this morning to get some bits, he went to Tesco yesterday to do a bigger shop because we had a good voucher off £70 ten pounds off that is a good saving so he topped up.
Jessie has been having visitors little jack the kitten from next door has been inonce or twice, she tends to run a mile if she spots him big wuss that she is. Poor little girl she is used to being on her own with her daddy!
Saying goodbye to the ld machine!
