On the up

Things are on the up.

We visited MK in hospital yesterday. He looked so much better, sitting up in his chair, without his oxygen mask most of the time. He's due to go home on Monday & clearly looking forward to it. Night care has been arranged so Helen will be able to have a good night's sleep to cope with looking after him during the day. Even during the day, there's going to be a bit more help for her.

We get home to see the answerphone flashing. The carpet has arrived. They're coming to fit it tomorrow. We'll soon be able to get our usual clutter back in the kitchen & get back to everyday living. There's only the blinds people to organise but I'll get on to that later this morning. It's finally coming together.

We actually cooked at home yesterday. It was great to eat, watching the antics of birds in the garden. The blackbirds are still squabbling, having mid-air fights. The tits are feeding ravenously - I suspect to regurgitate for young. As it was sunny & mild, we had the door open. The birdsong was particularly loud. They were obviously as joyous at having us back as we are to be back. (A bit of me says, they're only keen for the extra food scraps they get when we're cooking, but it's still a lovely sound.)

Things are definitely on the up.

be careful about using this colour text - I had to copy and paste it into notepad to be able to read it properly - it's so pale I thought my eyesight had swiftly failed.

Hope you're pleased with the new carpet and you don't have to breathe in too many floating fibres!
