Sorry folks, but, I’ve been busy. There’s a lot for me to take on board at Fidelity and some nights I get home feeling mentally shot. Anyway, excuses out of the way – let’s play catch-up.
The week before last Angie came up from Colchester on the coach and stayed with mum and dad through to Thursday. I/we didn’t get to spend much time with her but hearing it from mum’s side it seems that her visit went well, and mum enjoyed having her company and help with dad. Mum seems to have finally realised that the time is getting near when she will not be able to cope with managing and caring for dad under the current “Care in the Community” set-up.
That weekend we were running round sorting out a replacement bed and carpet for Mark’s bedroom. Why? Because that is what he’d asked for as his birthday present which was Tuesday this week. The laying of the carpet was arranged for 2pm the following Saturday afternoon (before his birthday) and the bed to be delivered on his last day as a teenager (this Monday). That meant that Mark and I were fully engaged through Saturday emptying his room, cleaning, hoovering and preparing for the visit of the carpet fitters. This included squirting expanding foam into the gap under the skirting board along the front of the house to reduce the cold air blast getting into the room that way. The fitters arrived early and were finished by the time they were due to arrive, which meant an early start to putting everything back into the room. The result was well worth the effort and best of all, he loves it!
