An odd day. We are disfunctional at best and damned bizarre at worst.

1. Dinner with mum was 'weird' due to daughter refusing to take her meds since Friday and going loco without the acapulco. Managed to turn up 2 spare tablets and watched while she swallowed them... She has conceded that we will collect her prescrip and meds tomoz. This can not happen again. Until the next time when she thinks she can cope fine without them...

2. Son decided to barrage his grandma with questions deep about religious extremism. Bet she was bladdy glad when i gave her a lift home. The pleasure? Took mum home.

3. Now i remember why she hasn't been here for ages...because it always gets weird when she comes here. Its fine when we are all at hers, but its so intense here because she always used to visit with dad and of course he is no longer with us, he used to balance things in the family...it is tricky keeping an equilibrium without him around. The pleasure? Tomorrow is another day and hopefully it wont be quite so bizarre.

4. Watched the remaining episodes of ripper street while in my bed this. Evening. Whilst having large collie cuddles and licky faces. Big baby!

5. Lots of nice edibles made hastily last night, which turned out to be pip-on in hitting the spot today. Stodge and lots of it.

Hmm, well, we weren't sure if it was a date or just mates but it seems it went well till he said "I went to the pictures with my GIRLFRIEND" :eek::( Not sure what all that was about then - I don't think I'd like my boyfriend taking another girl out, but at least if he was trying to let her down gently then he has. She is disappointed but stoical. It could have been awful and it wasn't, but it didn't work out how she hoped. Ahh well, there'll be others.

Perhaps it was just a 'mates' thing, VJ'smum, I was friends with a lot of boys from school and thought nothing of it. We didn't see each other much outside school though.

My DGD is the same, she is popular with both boys and girls.

Frith

Tired and grumpy with this most ridiculous cold but here are my pleasures briefly.

1) Not a bad sleep.

2) Brother popped in and put my new oven door handle on. It is the inside, glass door that has been missing a handle for....oooo.... about 12 years! I have been opening it trying to grab the screw head that held the old handle on once upon a time, with a tea cloth.

3) MrN took a selection of children out so I had a good tidy up while they were gone. They reappeared quickly though as his son3 was sick as soon as they got there and they had to drive home again!

4) My sons spent ages making lots of paper boats so we went to the ford to see how well they travelled.

5) HM pizza for tea.

That's about it! Cold is making me itchy (?) My sister's is so bad it has given her tonsillitis and she is on antibiotics. :-(

Off to bed in a mo with a hwb or 2 and the Archers.

Get well now please all the poorlies

1. Took a bag of bottle/jars to the bottle bank. I love that noise
2. Lunchtime meeting with friends, my turn to wash up. I do like a nice big bowl of hot sudsy water, so I can wash the cupboards down afterwards
3. Interesting contrast at the meeting, a talk by a man who has been a member for 22 years, and a new person in the room who was in quite a poorly way. It was a pleasure to see them go off together to a coffee shop afterwards
4. The chook casserole i made yesterday divided into 10 portions, one for me and 9 for the freezer. The loaf was cut into three, two parts frozen, one in the fridge. I don't know if it will still be there by the end of tomorrow :whistle:. Made a big pot of chilli in the sc, DGD1 is coming for lunch on Wednesday and that's what she chose. It's now in the freezer, I think it always tastes better for keeping
5. Spent some time before tea sitting in the garden (it's been such a lovely day). I was so tempted to get the mower out but had a coughing fit which put the end to that idea. I'm thinking I might spring it in the morning if it's still bright

Sleep tight
