Good morning all from a mild Glasgow, its still too dark to see what the weather is like. I'm hoping today will be a repeat of yesterday's very pleasant weather.
We are up early as DS's car is going in for a service today and I have to follow him to the garage to drop off his car. Our son lives near the dealership, so I will seize the opportunity to pick up DH's repaired PC and drop off a baby car seat, which we were storing in our garage for him, otherwise I will need to wait until NS allows us to travel across county lines.
I must admit to being a little nervous, driving in the rush hour, now that all the primary schools are back and the two towns, I have to drive through, will be really busy.
As predicted, the paint spraying did not go well, and as expected, everything was coated in red cedar paint. ? Tidying up is my task today. DH still doesn't understand why I'm so annoyed with him.
On top of that, he somehow managed to break the lock on the back door, ( a three year old door). As DH has spent his working life delegating, I of course had to deal with it.
After a making a number of phone calls, ( DH had no idea what to do) at 10pm last night, we had a locksmith in our utility room, trying to repair it. As I'm still supposed to be shielding, I find having any workmen in the house, extremely stressful.
The good news is that, that the locksmith also repaired the inside conservatory doors, which needed a new locking mechanism. ( DHs fault again) I have been trying for a year to find a locksmith, due to lockdown.
All joking aside, I'm quite worried about my DH, he is definitely not as sharp and on the ball as he once was. I can't put my finger on it, but something isn't quite right with him.
However, I have some good news. Dollie, DIL and DS1 all had negative Covid tests yesterday, however, she still has to self isolate for ten days. As she was previously shielding, we have been so concerned and still are. What is even more worrying, is that some parents have refused to get their children tested and will just wait and see what happens.
In addition to that, DD and SIL are now registered on the unpaid carers vaccination list, as they have been supporting us for over a year. It's a relief, as DD is asthmatic and is beginning to show symptoms of RA.
I will hopefully be back tomorrow without any tales of woe. DH if I'm lucky, will be immersed in watching Cheltenham this afternoon and I will chill and de-stress in the conservatory with my fix of Daniel.
Hoping that Georgesgran finds the strength to get through today, a very difficult day for her. Sending hugs and prayers to everyone who is finding life difficult at the moment. ?
