Monday




Was up at the usual time to let the brats out. Chilly and overcast so no chilling under the tree today. Not a good way to start the week as I really need chill time to get motivated for my week ahead. After feeding the hungry hordes (the seven dogs) I made breakfast for hubby. This was the first time with breakfast in a week and it felt strange but good to get back to the normal routine as I haven’t bothered while hubby was in hospital. Hubby was in good spirits after a good nights sleep in his own bed and polished off his breakfast.
Hubby spent most of the day sleeping, watching TV and chilling with Digby (our Baby). Digby is a cute Maltese cross Foxy whose favourite pastimes are chilling on the bed or digging. He got his name because he is a compulsive digger. When we first got him – he was my Mother’s Day present from Alison three years ago – he was so small he had to be picked up and put on the bed. I used to move my hand under the covers to play with him and he would go mad trying to dig his way through. Digby has never stopped digging since. He is like a little machine that doesn’t stop but just gets faster and faster. It is hilarious to watch BUT not when it is in the back yard. The gardener must be so sick of filling holes in. Another Bad Habit he has is when hubby comes home after work. He gets so excited and just has to show off for hubby – he drags the blanket out of one of their beds and takes it out back where him and Gaby play Tug-of-War. The blankets get more and more tatty until I get fed up and replace them.
Hubby’s appetite is back to normal and he kept wandering into the kitchen looking for a snack. I thought I would have more time to do things as there is no back and forth to the hospital but spent more time in the kitchen instead. Not easy keeping a hungry diabetic happy. He doesn’t always enjoy Low GI foods and I have to tell him “You are diabetic shut up and eat it” Works most times anyway. But at least he is home and on the mend.
I spent the day looking after hubby and catching up on some office work. I had no energy for much though – must be the stress of the past week catching up with me. I actually fell asleep in front of the TV earlier.
I have so much to do over the next few weeks. We are all off to Perth mid November for three weeks - Diane will be there for six weeks – for Sylvia’s Wedding (Sylvia is my daughter who has lived in Perth since 2000). We will have lots of fab blogs for you while we are there .It will be our first visit to Oz and we are really excited.
Cheers for now. Chat tomorrow
