Up with the birds this morning and greeted with this beautiful view.

Spent the day doing errands with Mum. We had a little drive out to get some chicken feed. Mum enjoyed the change of scene but think it made her quite tired. She says she's sleeping fine but she was up at 5am. It's hard to know as she talks about not wanting to be a burden and that's she's 'such an old croc'. I hate hearing her say that as she's not. But it worries me that she's getting frustrated and might try to do too much. I had the benefit of being able to focus all my time on looking after her but my sister has to work and look after the kids as well.

Was really torn leaving tonight but the kids and dogs etc went wild when I got home. I'm also worried about leaving Sheila. I've asked my sister if she can pop out and just put her by the food and water but I'm not sure how much time she'll have. There's no reason why she can't get to the food and water herself. Hopefully she'll work it out!
