It was a lovely Xmas’y scene when I got up this morning

We were due a visit today from the Social Services to means test kp to see how much she has to contribute towards her own care. This meant an early start for me, in order to get everything (including kp) ready for her visit.

When I got back from the dog walk (in the thick snow), she had left a message to say that they were not making any house calls today because of the bad weather ! Grrrrrrrrrr!

kp was pleased as she was knackered and didn’t want to get up anyway. She is at the end of her pain patch and for the last day or so has had increased pain from all of the walking she has been doing. I told her I was going to Sainsbury’s for some shopping and she was happy to snooze on.

By the time I had been shopping and got back it was nigh on 11.15am, but I managed to persuade kp to get up to have her Fentanyl patch changed.

We had a fryup for breakfast and kp went back to bed. Any movement was causing her grief and bed seemed like the best place.

So, I am writing the blog early…………

Here is a photo of our house taken a few minutes ago…………

Ronnie, you should come up here this week, bring your ski’s, you’re laughing !

I have also uploaded the photos from Xmas Day. There are more on the way from Susa when she emails me them.
