Friday 6th December - not much done

Because too much has happened...

It all started sunnily enough...

I've got into the habit of prepping the day's sewing on the Corinne Lapierre calendar in the morning  and then sewing it in the evenings as a relax way of finishingthe day.. 

This is the only photograph I'm posting tonight. And it's probably as much sewing as I'm going to manage. 

In the morning we made the most of sunny weather to take my (95 year old) father out for a coffee at a nearby farm shop with a sheltered patio area. 

We were a little late setting of from his flat; the wheelchair, specially chosen to fold up particularly compactly to fit in our boot, was still sulking and being cranky. My brother, who has not had as much practice as us, said he had had to 'have a stern word with the wheelchair' to make it fold up on it's last outing, and so I guess it's feelings were hurt and it is still smarting from the rebuke. 

However BB managed to cajole it into acquiescence...

This afternoon has been too full of 'excitement'; my father fell in the bathroom (I absolutely refuse to use the expression 'had a fall', it sounds so geriatric) Although he seems fine, he's managed to cut his scalp on the clothes airer somehow. 

So he's been carried off to A and E, which is very busy as it always is these days. BB followed on in the car, having dropped me home first. They've decided that the best thing is to find my father somewhere where he can sleep, and send BB home. They'll phone us in the morning. 

So I don't think I'll be doing anything else this evening... early night is in order, I think!

Tomorrow we have to see about finishing cleaning the flat... scalp wounds can create an astonishing amount of mess... I WON'T be sharing those pictures!
