Morning All
Snoozer glad the first night went well
Went with great nephews yesterday for their covid jabs and ended up having my booster very sore arm this morning and we are just about to go swimming with DGC
Their other grandad is coming to stay today and we hope to go the coast again tomorrow so still busy
I was shattered last night after having 6 children and 7 adults to feed through the afternoon they tend to all sit and wait and then when I have finished ask do you need some help!!!
Hey ho hopefully quieter next week
Hope everyone has a good day hugs to all who want them

Morning
At mums house this week which is slowly but surely starting to look emptier. Plan this week is start on the kitchen which I'm not looking forward to as I know I will have to fight the desire to take it all with me! I will settle of some things I know I will use (in theory) luckily Im restricted by how much I can get back in a cab.
Tomorrow i have a spark coming round to fix the few little issues he identified on the Eicr report. Nothing major thankfully.
Mum is back in the home or school as she likes to think of it
She was meant to go yesterday but as usual the pieces didn't go together so they had to go with today such a relief.
Ordered a few bits to snack this week so it will be a picky meals. Hate mums oven so avoiding that there's a microwave which I can manage with.
Onwards and upwards everyone

Afternoon all, I'm a bit late but I do have an excuse ! One day back home from hols and Dad's already had an emergency, another bathroom calamity 😟 Long story short his carpet was soaked so has been pulled up and discarded. We have suggested carpet tiles for next time and it seems we will be laying them too. Oh well it's a job we are familiar with. Add into that a trip to his favourite store, Trag* Mills for the tiles ( hopefully ) and he's on board !
I sorted all the 'van stuff and put it away yesterday but now all my plans for today have changed. Still no washing done as it was drizzling this morning, it's dry now but still wet under foot and it looks like Thursday will be our next dry day. We still haven't quite emptied the van nor put the cover back on either. I have a telephone appointment with my GP this afternoon to discuss my blood test results so I will sort out a shopping list while I wait.
Take care all

PS forgot to say Hi to Sarahlouise and thanks to all for the warm welcome backFailure is simply the opportunity to begin again, but this time more intelligently10 -

An early / late one from me. It’s 8.00am on Wednesday in sunny and windy Brisbane. I arrived here just before midnight, now am having breakfast before being picked up by my SIL in a couple of hours for the long drive north.Couldn't
let the arrival of the beautiful new addition to Snoozer’s family go by without adding in my congratulations. 🎉🎉4
