Today I was treated to a visit from dearest daughter. She brought with her two thank you letters, one from each grandson.
We headed out for lunch, going to another garden centre in the opposite direction as Dobbies. Here we had a grand lunch - I chose a fried egg roll (naughty but nice) and a pot of tea.
After, she put me in a wheelchair and wheeled me all round the garden centre - I am afraid that I did manage to buy something!
After this I directed her to the near by farm shop and we both got some things. The lady serving recognnised our bags (onya, being 5 very light bags inside a small bag which you put in your handbag so that it is always available. Apparently I was not the only person to get this for Christmas!

Decisions, Decisions
Today I saw my GP and I have decided to voluntarily surrender my driving licence on medical grounds.
Regular readers will remeember that this is something that has been at the back of my mind for several months.
This is a very appropriate time to take this decision as my current car was due to be returned to Motability and I was due to collect a new car shortly - but had not already done so. It is now arranged that Motability will collect my car on 20 January.
TBSITW came over and emptied my car of all that should be taken away, and gained some useful things that were lying around in the boot. Unfortunately one of the things she found was a gift token for a £10 car valet. Given to me several years ago. Oh, sorry TBSITW
I am an ungrateful hussy.
Now, to top all that she has done for me she is offering to be my chauffeur for things like my physiotherapy and my hairdresser - the latter of which we shall try to synchronise.
Incidentally, she also put away all my Christmas decorations.

Let it Snow, Let it Snow, Let it Snow....
Today I woke up to the first snow of the year, although it is starting to look less pretty now with all the car tracks.
Yesterday I took down all my Christmas cards and matched them against my list of cards sent before shredding the odd one or two with addresses on them before disposing of the rest in the paper recycling bin.
After this I got a bit antsy about my Christmas decorations and so I used my long pole to fish out all the boxes and bags from the cupboard and took them through to the living room.
Then I started packing away some of the easier things; I have an old biscuit tin which I use for smaller things and this sits inside a supermarket box. Between the two I can put away much of the decorations and many more have their own boxes. Other things I wrapped in bubble wrap or tissue paper and, for things like tinsel I used polythene freezer bags.
Just as I was well on the way to “calling it a day” I managed to trip over my two feet and down I went once more.
I tried every which way to get up again and eventually managed. Phew!
To TBSITW: please don’t give me a row, it is not necessary – I can hear it from here.
Up this morning after another disturbed night and finished off packing away all the decorations as far as everything is boxed or bagged. I truly, truly will not put any of it away in the cupboard.

Later...
I managed to empty the hall cupboard in stages although I did find it a bit much.
Then I had a look at the tank, but couldn't get really near it.
So, I phoned The Best Sister in the World and asked for help.
She duly arrived shortly after and filled the header tank using (I lost count of how many) 500ml bottles of water.
After she had finished, she then put everything back in the cupboard - suitcases, bags, toilet rolls, kitchen rolls, coats, fleeces, raincoat and so on.
It is now really neat and tidy.
She is just magic.

Oh no!
What next?
Got up this morning to have a shower as usual and took a quick look in my tank cupboard (tank as in hot water, not as in armoured).
What did I see?
Nothing.
This is bad news as there should be two green lights shining away to indicate the tank is working.
And the job is quite heavy, what with having to move so much stuff out of the way...
I think I shall take it stage by stage.

Oh, well, it's Friday!
Just in case anybody is worried about the lack of a post, I am fine, just tired and bored.
2nd January and still nobody has first footed.

A Guid New Year to Ane and A
Wishing all my readers a very Happy New Year.
May everything that you hope for come your way.
Do be careful with all those resolutions, you will only be miserable when you fail to keep them!
