A more ordered night’s sleep, but she still got up for an hour somewhere in the middle.

I forgot to mention a big step forward the other day – kp made the evening meal !!!! It was Bacon in baps and lovely at that !

I think she may cook tea again tonight and I think it’s Bacon in baps again. Hope there’s not a trend developing here.

Today, kp showed the signs of “going on a downer”, quietness, staring, thinking, solemn face. This afternoon, she confirmed my fears that she felt she was.

Cue distractions. We went for a 1mph walk to post a letter and get some bread/milk. kp has been keen to get a new bathroom setup, so we started looking into that more. And fortunately, tomorrow Marie, Adele, Abbie and Louisa are coming over to stay the afternoon/night. That couldn’t have been better timed. She went for a snooze after her walk.

kp:- My buns are killing me.

Since the accident, kp has been calling her calfs, slabs and her bum cheeks, buns ?! We are going to try and do a walk-a-day, to try and build her stamina.

She seems ok after her snooze, watching Coronation Street.

Just over 2 weeks sees the 1st anniversary of the accident. kp has been wondering what to do for the day. It’s a tricky one, because on the one hand, I would like it to be just kp and I, but on the other, some distraction may be necessary, not so much for kp, but for me. I am starting to think back to those awful first days. They are not nice memories. We’ll see what happens.

So, generally, not the best of days. Fingers crossed, her mood doesn’t get any lower. It’s not too bad at the moment, but it’s one of those turning point days.

Well, how wrong can a husband get it ?

kp wanted to watch some of the home videos that I have converted to DVD. I was a bit worried that seeing her mam, Lee and nana would make her upset, so was reluctant to let her watch them, but I gave in and she really enjoyed them.

Tonight, I egged Karen on to watch King Kong on DVD. Well, she was crying her eyes out at the end. I feel very guilty. I didn’t see it coming at all.

It’s such a life-like Kong, I must confess I had a few tears in my eyes at the end.
