Well, we watched the ice skating last night and enjoyed that. kp was really in a bad way (painwise) so we decided to put the 100ug Fentanyl Patch on last night instead of waiting until Sunday lunchtime.

I was allowed back in the marital bedroom on the promise that I didn’t sniff or cough and we both had a great night’s sleep.

Putting the higher dosage patch on early turned out to be a cracking move as kp felt “top of the world” this morning. She got out of bed while I was out walking the dogs. Everything just went right this morning. I did her hair and for the first time, I did it right in the new style. kp looked full of life and had a real sparkle in her eye ! She couldn’t stop saying how well she felt. It was great to hear.

Mum and Dad arrived in a flat bed truck (thanks Bill) with our Xmas Present (new house sign in Yorkshire stone, with a tonne of yorkshire stone to build up into a wall). Dad and I moved this tonne of stone piece by piece in our best clothes from the truck to the garage. As Dad said, “Merry Christmas!”

We had a lovely Sunday lunch at the Pump House in Durham. We have finally found a place that does a good Sunday lunch without overcooking the meats !

Lunch over, we went over to see Margaret, Tracey, Mark and Megan and had a really good afternoon with them.

Here’s the Maffey/Baggots…..

And here’s kp, me and Megan….

Her T-shirt says “I am not big, but I am clever!”

That’s it for today. kp is flagging a bit, and is a bit stiff, probably all the sitting down.

Lovely day !
