That is our sky this morning.. yesterday was WET!!!
Yesterday morning I started getting the house sorted for today's work...
and by lunchtime it was confirmed that pirate will be back home on Friday.
If the boiler hadn't given up, he would have been back by Tuesday afternoon..they are desperate for beds, and when I arrived yesterday afternoon we found that the station he had been moved to was only going to be open until the end of the week unless the health board decides otherwise.
The health service here is good, co-ordinated with social care unlike other places further South..but like everywhere it is stretched. But thankfully no strikes here.
The station (ward) he had been moved to was cooler..a good idea, to get patients used to more normal indoor temperatures.
He was happy with his company..a younger man who cycled when young, but has rediscovered the love of the bike!
Luckily I managed to travel by bus ( car went to the garage first thing) while the rain had eased..but as the afternoon went on it came on heavier..and it was a downpour by 5pm....gutters full and running sort of rain..
With the timing of buses, I had to go into town and get a bus back out..
Then supper and clear everything away from the radiators.
And awake in the wee small hours to realise that I needed to clear access to all the windows as well as they will fit ventilators to bring the house up to building regs...
6am start....

A full on day - you have so much going on at the moment!
Our sky is a little kinder looking but being in the lea of the Pennines does not mean it will stay nice.
Take care of yourself too x
Daughter says that all this happening is good distraction...and if it all happened separately it would take up weeks and there would be a lot of frustrated sitting around!!!
No pressure then!
My experience is also one of realising how good the NHS and its staff are when you need it. Yes, things go wrong, and it is overstressed, and we have to understand that and give and take.
It's good to keep busy and try not to dwell on things. Take care and fingers crossed all works well for you both.
Clearing stuff away is the hardest job ever, it never seems to end. Well done to NHS Scotland hope your Pirate will be home and feel comfortable at home. Read back on your blog and see you'd been to Wanganui, different spelling but same. I have a friend who lives there!
...welcome back, take care and be well.
I'm out of breath from reading all you've got going on...take care of yourself too! Yay that your Pirate will be home tomorrow!
You have coordinated many big jobs simultaneously and that is impressive. Pirate will come home to your lovely cozy home. Let's hope for sunny Friday when Pirate travels home.
I'm sure Pirate will be very happy to be back home.
