    It is beautiful and sunny outside but chilly, I  am washing clothes, then just writing lessons . I see my dear friends tomorrow. The clocks change tonight. 
    I have the best friends I feel so grateful that I can spend this precious time with them.

    Jobs to do, change clocks, make bed in spare room, clean bathrooms, sort a few weeds in garden. See my wonderful friends via a detour to buy some lovely flowers.

    Skinty he is still smiling but unable to talk much or move from the bed but luckily he can still hear and understand.  I am so glad i can spend this time with him, in just a week he has lost much function. I will talk to him about our happy memories.

    Work has finished and i have chatted to the boys. Steve is smiling and listening to songs and our chats and managing to eat little bits of icecream. He is happy when he has company. I will be going again this weekend and will keep seeing him during the Easter period. I am quite chuffed that i have seen him 4 times this month so far. 
    We break up for hols in two working days I cannot wait for Easter to escape work where plenty of horrid things are happening.  The good news is I will be paid soon i thought it was tomorrow but it might be Wednesday. That's ok.
