Today was quite a boring day spent mainly at home apart from walking the dog and popping to the corner shop in search of bacon for teatime. The morning started well but little one was very grumpy today. She brightened up when my eldest son visited with the 2 grandchildren. He was on his way to dig up my nephew's garden - god knows why as he's had spinal surgery and is waiting for another spinal operation. The grandchildren amused daughter's toddler which was nice. The eldest grandchild (7) read the others a story and played with the toy kitchen with them. Son wanted to leave them here but I really didn't feel up to it today and daughter is busy with her dissertation for uni so wouldn't have been able to help much.
Lunch time when they left I took the dog for a run on the common and cycle path which is opposite where we live. Bumped into one of my sisters (Amy) who was busy delivering parcels (she's a courier.) She told me she is putting in a formal complaint against the police as they took my late brother to the mortuary without an ID bracelet. This delayed the post mortem for over a week, which I must admit I was far from happy about. But, a formal complaint - what is the point. The police officer who forgot will probably get told off and the way I see it there is no point getting someone into trouble if you aren't going to achieve anything from it. I have every respect for our police as they do a very difficult and often dangerous job but they are not infallible and everyone forgets things now and again. The outcome will be the same - it's not like reporting abuse or theft where you can make a difference. The mortuary shouldn't have accepted the body without any ID either so she will probably put in a complaint about them too. She thrives on drama and causing trouble for people in authority which I do find quite hard to deal with. Anyway, the dog had a good run around and came back when I called her which is more than she has been doing for my husband. She has now started coming to him when she feels like it instead of straight away like before.
Daughter cooked tea for us while I amused the toddler with some old toys I had put away. It wasn't great! She made a potato bake with courgettes, bacon, cheese and onion in it. At least I didn't have to cook it! Really dislike cooking but I am good at it when I bother lol. I have started doing online surveys recently just to give me something to do in the evenings. You fill out a survey and get points for doing it ranging from 20 - 100+ and when you save up enough points you can exchange them for gifts, tickets, or pay pal cash. It's 345 points for £3 and I have just sent off my second request for payment so earned the grand total of £6 so far. It's not life changing but gives me something to do in the evening. Tomorrow I'm going out shopping and wandering around the shops as I've been in the house too much lately.
Bye for now All the best x
