A day of two halves

Our tomato crop provides portion sizes for everyone.

A rubbish night with the aching ribs, just couldn’t get comfortable. Saw 5am then fell asleep. Up for breakfast at 9am then back to bed for the morning. A shuffle and reduction in numbers of pillows and we have It sorted!!!!

The district nurse arrived about 2pm to take out my clips, all 16. A very efficient job I barely felt a thing. He was pleasantly chatty and provided me with details of how the service runs these days. 

I did confess after I had thanked him for a job well done, that I had been a DN in the area in the 80’s and managed community services for a couple of years before moving south. 

He was then even more chatty and told me loads about the service as it is provided these days.

It’s heartwarming to hear how proud the nurses that I’ve come in contact with recently are about the work that they do. As they should be!!! 

Another nap this afternoon, before a shower and dressing ready for R & S to arrive to make dinner. B is excused cooking duties this evening. He has been an absolute gem and deserves a bit of time off !!!
