Our house is a bit turned upside down we have had a painter in the bedroom for the last week and only a day or so and they will be finished. We decided on feature walls in each and the colour looks slightly different to the colour cards but Jill thinks they look terrific.
I have moved picture frames from room to room to get the correct blend.
The weather has been great to sleep and is slowly getting warmer during the day once again and we hear that it will be in the high 30’s or low 40’s by next Thursday.
Jill’s waiting in anticipation of her next appointment with the orthopaedic surgeon, next Friday. I hope that he has considered her quality of life in his determination of wether to do the operation. With the pain, she is accepting my using the wheelie walker as a semi wheel chair. It is often funny when we set off down the passage and the brakes are both on or she forgets to lift her feet. Jake and Jessie both follow us up and down the passage and sit outside the ensuite door waiting for Jill to emerge. You would wonder whose cat she was, considering Jill cannot bear to handle or even touch the cat.
Friday was an important family day as it was Allison’s birthday, Happy Birthday to our girl – have a great week end away. Talking about birthdays, there was one over the road and last night, Marg arrived at our front door with a large piece of mud cake. I should have said no we don’t like it but you should have seen Jill’s eyes light up when she saw it. Supper was a cappuccino and mud cake. Thanks Marg.
We have started decorating the lounge, Jill and I sat in the lounge with tinsel, coloured balls and lights all around. Finally with me doing the labour Jill instructed me on where to put things. The lights on houses are becoming more decorative, a couple of houses in Hogan Street are looking good. I have arranged with Aunty Jean to take her around and have a look at all the decorated houses.
Family tree is still taking my evenings away. It is amazing the information that is available on the net. There are war service certificates, which can be down loaded and access to the research that other families have also carried out. To be able to trace the movements of family members via electoral rolls etc. is remarkable.
We had Michael home last week end and Jill had her hair cut and coloured, which is like a tonic. Her hair was driving her up the wall.
Well I had better get Jill up and continue our Xmas decorations.
See you soon on the net.
