Happy Easter everyone

Happy Easter!

Well I thought I was going to have a very disturbed night after the police helicopter flying around the tops of all our homes with the search light shining about like something from the 'Close encounter of the third kind.'
There was no way that I thought I could sleep with my windows shut in this heat, so it was going to be a case of booby trapping the garden, but I drifted off in a very deep sleep with the aid of my 'Chillow' to keep my head cool.
Yay! I have found something that works.

I took my time over breakfast as my stats were still low and as it was cooler, I was able to eat my hot cross bun under the shade of my garden parasol while reading my book. All very civilised.
A nice cool shower before getting ready to take mother over to my sisters for Easter lunch and it proves things are a lot easier when you don't have to hurry.
I could take my time showering, even though mother telephoned beforehand to ask if I could come over and put her parasol up.
I told her not to worry as I'd be over before we were due to leave and I was, but I took my time and only went over about ten minutes before we were due to leave for my sisters.

I do worry about my mother as she was very muddled again today, worrying about something on the side of her head that she has to have sorted out at the doctors. I've noticed that she keeps fretting about this, but she doesn't know what she means or what is on her head.
I can only think it was when she had a bad case of shingles on the side of her face a few years back and when she gets tired, she gets very flummoxed and thinks that it is back.
I can understand that as when I get tired, I even lose the power of proper speech and everyday words frustratingly escape me.
Luckily once we were on our way she reverted back to the fun, witty mother that I know and love.

A good day was had by all I am happy to report that it was a day when everyone was agreeable, food was delicious and we were able to play board games in the garden under Helen's vines and clever Helen choose the one board game that mother could join in with and thoroughly enjoys.

Very tired now and my eyes have decided that they belong to someone else with a much bigger head as they are so swollen and sore.
Great I have gone from wearing 'boston strangler' type leather gloves indoors to keep my hands warm while watching TV to looking like a second rate Audrey Hepburn in 'Breakfast at Tiffany's!'
Looks like a trip down the doctors...Yay!

Lots of love Debbie x
