Have had a good few days.
long may it continue.
although Dgs2 woke around 11.45 he then didn't wake till 6.30 this morning.
a relaxed start to the day.
No Dgd or DS so no mess to deal with before breakfast.
washing on the line again before the school walk.
singing songs and playing games all the way to school.
 I am on my own today, although Dgd will be home around lunchtime today.
Meanwhile Mum is doing fine, and I don't need to worry about anything else except my mask orders.
so I am plodding along with those. The other work is start ting to trickle in too.

Savvy, I'm glad that you have had a good few days - as you say, long may it continue!

Thorsoak, I'm sorry that 'your' twins are such hard work and glad that you don't have to deal with the early starts.

Plodding on is always good . 

Happy sewing. 

Hope you can catch some of the sun 🌞

Thanks hb2 - they are such little pickles, and bed time is a bit of a battle because twin 1 still needs her sleep and will happily nap during the day for 30 mins or so, then go to sleep by about 7.30, but twin 2 fights sleep and wants to stay up for so much longer - and wants to sleep in in the morning!   I do wonder if it is because twin 1 spent her first 9 weeks in NICU whils twin 2 came home with mum - not that you'd know that twin 1 had ever had a problem - she is a TOFS baby and had trachea and oesophagus were joined and she was operated on at 8 hours old to separate and join oesophagus to stomach - she now eats like a little horse and is only 1 kg lighter than her sister!

Such little pickles indeed 
Twins can be very different anyway so who knows if the time if in SCBU affected twin 1.

both my twins were in the intensive care for 10 days, on oxygen for a few days. But now they are 31 they are both around 5ft 8" and as robust as possible.
although they have the underlying learning issues no health issues. 

DS is not coming home today either. Apparently he has a migraine. 

He did transfer me some housekeeping which is ironic as he's not been here but it is a start. 

Dgd has had a better experience at her Mums for the last 7 days and has brought back her bike from there and they have taken her old one from here down to fix. 

I have had a steady plod through more masks, but not as many as when Biggest works along side feeding me the jobs.
But it is good to see the money being transferred all through the day. It is a great incentive to keep on.

However I have had to call the fracture clinic and make an appointment to go back as my hand is definitely not right.
If it gets worse then they have told me to go to A A&E again but I have an appointment on Tuesday at 9.50 to be seen by someone. Mean while it's back to elevate and ice and fenbid gel.

Savvy, I'm glad you have an appointment for someone to review your hand.

Is your granddaughter supposed to be visiting another family home? I thought the lockdown rules weren’t being eased until Monday. You are supposed to meet other households outside just now. The virus travels more inside than outside. She may have no symptoms but that doesn’t mean she might not be a carrier and you are caring for two young kids. I have family I’ve not seen since March. From reading your posts she’s been staying elsewhere and she’s going to be coming back to you. Do you know how many people she’s been in contact with during her time away? Reading the lockdown rules as they are just now she should be staying with you until the Govt say it’s ok to be meeting people from other households. The current rules are quite clear. No sleepovers and at the moment if your DGD is living with her mum , lockdown rules are being broken.  You are currently only allowed to meet family if you are outside, keeping a 2m distance and only two family groups should be meeting at one time. The rules are quite clear.
