an hour makes
5pm, Northwest then southwest...
And an hour later..
Ticking along.
It is early days, and Pirate is finding it too easy just to do nothing...and our new mattress topper has made our bed FAR too comfortable!!
Today started wet and windy, but lifted nicely soon enough. I didn't trust enough to hang the washing on the line though!
I had a fleabay sale to pack...the first for nearly a month. However you do it, at whatever level, selling is in the doldrums. Having the one sale has spurred me on to start listing more again...one on, and half a dozen lined up to be described and photographed.
The parts for the car didn't arrive until this afternoon, so no car until tomorrow. Which took the pressure off....dashing around can wait until tomorrow! We walked down to the top shop in the village, where Pirate (reluctantly) went in to buy some biscuits while I went further downhill to pick up supplies from the pharmacy. Lockdown strengthened his dislike of shops and shopping...and this had started easing ...but now he needs to learn to yes, be careful...but to do shopping again.
It was good to be walking outside...we are yearning for decent warmer weather and to be able to go for longer walks.
Pirate's Macmillan nurse phoned to see how he was doing...and said that as soon as he is comfortable sitting on a saddle he can start back on the turbo trainer. Very gently. He was glad to hear that!
We had a sort of Italian supper...blue cheese and oatcakes to start, risotto with veges and red beans...then vanilla ice cream with raspberries and pistachio nuts on top. Making a meal interesting...when the "customer" is not too interested in the idea because he isn't doing enough yet to develop an appetite.
Every day up and down...but that is to be expected....everyone on the phone saying how well he sounds...but I get the down side...
It is normal, but hard work.
