Hadn't posted for a few days as my father was admitted to hospital on Friday and became critically ill very soon. He has battled until earlier this evening when his life support was turned off. All the family were there at the end. It was very sad but full of love and the compassion and love shown by the ITU staff was outstanding. They did everything to make an unbearable few days bearable.
The NHS is an organisation that runs on people on the front line going beyond where they should. The nurse assigned to my Dad stayed an hour beyond her shift so she could be with us all until the end. The nurse assigned to my father was one we hadn't met so she stayed beyond her 12 hour shift end. The compassion shown by them all was outstanding.

Good morning. I’m having a birthday! So far I’ve had a birthday walk in the rain with the dog and a birthday chat with my sister. 

For Tuesday. 

Hairdresser first thing . Hurrah! Always lovely chatter and come out feeling so much better than when I went in. 

Went to supermarket. To get bits and pieces for Tuesday Tea. 

My birthday cake was dropped off. Boss had kindly made me a cake. 

Friend from work dropped in my birthday gift from colleagues. 

Friends came for Tuesday Tea…which was a birthday tea! They all had cake and I had fruit. As I’m doing lent ( though I’m allowed a slice today) and they were sent home with cake! 

And evening of chatter and laughter. Lovely flowers too that I just plonked in a mug so I need to sort them out this morning. And a big bag of crisps😆😆
Fire was on and we all sat in the extension all nice and cosy. 

A good day.

Deepest condolences on the loss of your Dad Villagelife.

Happy Birthday Mhags 🎂 enjoy your day 

For yesterday,

Such a contrast to the bright sunny day we had before, very cold with heavy rain, it seems as if winter isn’t letting go just yet. Had a good breakfast of scrambled eggs on toast as knew I was going to be out a long time.

Went to the yard and worked girlie in the lunge pen, got her back in and relatively dry before saddler turned up to check all ok. It needed slight adjustment on the flocking / padding but otherwise fine. She is a fellow livery owner and we are very lucky to have a Master Saddler on the premises.

Not home until 3pm and was very grateful for a bowl of soup, followed by a hot chocolate as just couldn’t warm up!

Quiet evening but we did watch the Bear Grylls interview with President Zelenskyy.

Reading my book in bed, all snug & warm.
