Both had a bloody awful night’s sleep. It was so cold in the bedroom (with the bedroom window open). I was coughing and spluttering. kp got up at 1am and didn’t come back until 4.30am.

I walked the dogs at 8am and went back to bed as soon as I got back. I was frozen to the core and kp makes a VERY good water bottle.

The big event of the day was kp’s shopping trip. Two of the OT’s came to collect her at 1.30pm. She was well prepared, having spent most of yesterday doing a menu for each day of the week and the resultant shopping list was quite long.

I wasn’t allowed to go !!! Which was weird. The reason was totally legit – I would have a tendency to do most of the shopping hard work, but they were going to make kp do the shopping. kp came back about 4pm and came straight to bed. I was in bed already (feeling rough, aaaaarrrr . We didn’t get up for a further hour or so, but then I caught up on the big event.

She didn’t enjoy it at all. Her legs nearly gave way a couple of times. I estimated she walked further than she did when she walked Elsa the other week.

kp:- It wasn’t just the walking. I had to think at the same time, and I can’t do that anymore.

This made me laugh out loud when she said that. But she really means it ! I know what she means, she finds it hard to walk around a shop layout which she hasn’t experienced for a while, and at the same time, read something, and work out where the items are and then go to that location etc etc etc………..Maybe it will come with time…..

Tonight’s menu is Lasagne (thanks Tracy/Marge), Salad and New Potatoes (and Garlic Bread).
