Tuesday events

Up early to take pa-in-law to a planned GP appointment. Then on into town so he could pay some cheques into his main account. Stopped mid morning in town - Starbucks - sat out in the mid sun (?) having my regular skinny caramel macchiato (can skinny and caramel be in the same sentence) chatting with pa-in-law (or getting a few words in).

Back to pa-in-laws via the chemist to collect prescription, then on to mum.

Mum was having her hair done, under the dryer so I had to shout a bit - she struggled last week to understand the action of bending over a sink to have her hair washed. So as she always has a bath/shower on a Tuesday when the hairdresser comes, suggested her hair is washed in the bath then the hairdresser dampens it when ready. Result! She was very chatty and happy and for the first time in months she said "Peter". I said "who's Peter" and her reply, straight away without thinking - "my husband"! and with a look on her face as if to say "what a strange thing to ask?". Those lucid moments with mum are such a treasure, thinking mum IS there.

Back home via Sainsburys (little bit of shopping and petrol) for lunch (2pm by this time). Spent the afternoon trawling the internet looking for jobs for my son.

Weight watchers tonight -YIPPEE - lost 3 lbs this week, half a pound to 70 lbs in total. On holiday next week so must be careful.
