Am sitting in my usual spot to update this blog outside Dethick church. It’s peaceful with not a soul in sight. I’ve bought Chloe with me too today so she gets a longer walk.

Dad seems much better this morning, at least in spirits. He slept better and sounds less croaky, though he says progress is slow.
Just phoned Mum’s ward and she’s sitting out of bed in her chair eating breakfast. She’s been sent a special seat cushion because the nurses think she’s at risk of pressure sores. She isn’t quite ready to discharge as her heart rate is still a little high. I told the nurse to ask her what she thought of coming to stay with me at Netherlea Cottage, though I don’t really think it’s an option because she won’t be able to manage the stairs and bathroom.
Plenty of lambs in evidence today.

In other news, David Hockney is sending us flowers from Normandy.

I’ve been working hard and my new iPad and computer setup is going to make life much easier.

The arrival of wine supplies from Virgin was a cheering sight when I got back from dog walking
