Morning dog has been walked lovely calm and bright morning hubby has rang waiting for doctors to come but they think they are keeping him in over the weekend just as a precaution I will finish stripping the back bedroom this weekend ready for my son to plaster it at least I will be able to do it without stopping to make him cups of tea so that’s a bonus have been lucky where I have had people in to measure up and do some jobs I wanted doing and been able to work round us as hubby had to isolate a couple of times and then his operation was cancelled so I was forever booking people in and cancelling them but carpets are all fitted indoor and outdoor light fitted everything is painted cream but at least it’s clean it can now wait until after Xmas and I can get decorated to my taste but loving the size and feel of the house felt at home from day one haven’t missed my garden once but we have a really large private south facing yard that will eventually will have new paving and half artificial lawn down a couple of nice pots it’s all on hold at the minute but the neighbours have called to say we know you are there on your own at the minute and passed there phone numbers on to me and said ring or knock if you need anything or feeling worried one thing is for sure I wouldn’t have dared stay in my old house by myself but I’ve slept like a log here so we are slowly but surely getting there we have even popped round to the cricket club which is behind me on a couple of nice nights and had a couple of drinks not that I know anything about cricket but it’s been nice to sit and chat to people in the sunshine1

I'm really pleased to hear how well you've settled in your new house. It sounds lovely and so do the neighbours. They're treating your hubby well in that hospital he won't want to come home 😆I get knocked down but I get up again (Chumbawamba, Tubthumping)0
