Good morning from a grey, overcast E Kent. The temperature has dropped considerably to a comfortable one for me.
Why is nothing easy at chateau gM? We had two dramas yesterday.
First, when the district nurse came to do the driver, he set everything up, put the syringe in, only to find that it was no longer working. He had to give an injection to DH to cover the time that he found a new driver. He also had to throw away the prepared mixture. He came back about 4 hours later with a new driver, and mirabile dictu, it worked! Unfortunately, he also realised that we were very short of one drug. It isn’t normally stocked at pharmacies, so we had ring round local chemists to find who had some in and arrange for an emergency prescription. Mercifully, our local Boots had ordered too much from the previous prescription so were able to give us some to tide over the weekend and Monday!
The thunderstorm around midnight woke me up, as did the driver beeping telling me the line was occluded, as did BT kindly telephoning me to say there had been a power cut. Cue getting up to answer the phone and sort out the driver…. I’m pooped already.
DD left in the afternoon after having made further adjustments to the “sick room” although DH spent the day with us in the sun. DS was off to meet friends near Whitstable for a BBQ.
I hope today is calm, for us, for everyone. Carpe diem. ?????
