Obviously I am spending way too much time in bed, especially as there are a few hours during the night I don’t sleep but not many as I do have assistance to sleep at the moment. however, combined I am spending as much time on the PC and watching TV, basically wasting time. I really do need to learn to manage my time better as I am not happy as I am , something must change. Having said that I have just spend the last 4 hrs on the PC, 90 mins of that writing all of this!

didn’t keep a record of what happened this weekend as it was not a normal weekend at all (are weekend’s ever normal?).

Basically on Saturday we continued to do the patio which has turned out to be a much more complex project that anticipated (surprise its not as easy as they say on the video!) Next weekend we will get it complete, probably without Alan help much as Gordon knew it would happen. Well, at least it got started, if we waited for Gordon it would still be in the planning stage this time next year. However, he was right, we didn’t plan it out right so its taking longer than it should.

On Saturday evening, Elisabeth came over for dinner with her friend Kelly, so we had a really nice relaxed evening with lots of sounds of activity and joy in the house. I miss that buzz, I must admit.

Alan

Sunday was fairly quiet. Gordon bottled his wine and transferred his beer from the bucket to the demi john. I went to the gym and exercised my butt off for 45 mins plus tried and failed to do a step class. Needs way too much co-0rdination for me. Sunday evening I finally finished the beaded doll I was doing of Alan.

Elisabeth, Alan and Emily.
