Well so far this week it has been nice and quiet lol. Sunday was peaceful with just me here and OH at work. Sister and BIL visited on the evening and we had a barbecue tea in the garden.
Chinese Delivery Night
Monday daughter came home with the toddler and her boyfriend who picked her up from the airport. They all went out for a meal, so me and OH went shopping and had a Chinese takeaway from the shop Amy (my sister) is working for (as a delivery driver) 3 nights a week. Lovely food and much better than our local one. They have just opened so I hope it stays really nice as they have converted us! We also went to the vet with the dog who did a health check and then said she will refer us to a behaviourist to try and sort out the growling and snapping issues. It really is like having 2 different dogs here - she is soft and gentle and loving one minute, then changes and hides under the chair and becomes really nasty if you go near her. So strange. Really hope we can sort it out.
Tuesday was a day at home with the toddler very interested in all her toys as she has not seen them for a week. Tuesday night was a different matter when daughter went back to work. Ava was happy for her to go then about half an hour later started crying for Mummy by the door. OK with a biscuit but then it happened again, and again. I opened the door in the end and showed her daughter's car was gone and she was OK after that. First time we have had this when daughter goes to work. Probably because she has been with her mum 24/7 on holiday for a week.At least she went straight to sleep when it was bedtime. I cooked a cottage pie for tea and it was so quick to slice the carrots and chop the onion in my new food processor. Really like using it and I am going to try to make hummus next as Ava and OH love it.
My Magic Machine
Today, Wednesday, daughter and toddler went out shopping for the afternoon with her friend so it was nice and peaceful again! I decided to try and walk a bit further with the dog and managed a 1.2 mile round trip. I would have gone another half a mile but the road was closed off for roadworks so I had to turn back. As long as it is a level walk, and not a hill, I am OK walking and can go quite far, but hills are really difficult for me due to COPD. Shame really that the other way to go was up a steep hill so I just had to head home. I've decided to do this every day if I can as it will give the dog more exercise and help me to get fit. This afternoon I dropped off daughter's dress at the cleaners and took my jacket in to the dress maker to get the sleeves shortened. It was expensive, but it is a really nice white classic jacket - and it is machine washable - so ideal for a wedding or posh do. Called in to see Mel (sister) for a quick coffee on the way home. She looks a lot happier and is looking forward to having her granddaughter (7yr old) stay overnight a few times during the holidays. Kids are so much easier when they are a bit older. Daughter and toddler have gone to the boyfriend's house for the night tonight, so I'm just chilling and catching up with friends online. Nice!
Keep Fit Started Today For Me and the Dog!
Bye for now All the best x
