.......sock it to me...............

Dad got up at a more "respectable" hour today.........around 10.00.
He wasn't too keen on doing anything though............which was quite handy for two reasons...........the weather has been foul all day...........and YH phoned to ask if we could have the girls for a couple of hours. She has a raging tooth ache and had managed to get an emergency appointment.

She dropped the girls off at 11.00 and got back around 1.00 clutching anti-biotics for an infected wisdom tooth....which will probably need to be removed.

When my sis was packing for Dad to come here she had a terrible time finding socks.......so I nipped out this afternoon and got him these.......his normal choice is a pale grey......so these with their bright colours and the days of the week on them might make it harder for him to mislay them.............or even get them mixed up!

I also had to call on a Halfords........Charlie is now in a car seat that only needs her to be restrained by a normal seat belt.....so the Boss wanted me to get a seat belt pad so it doesn't rub her neck..........the only ones they had were pink Disney Princess ones! When she starts pre-school in September I'll be the one picking her up at the end of the day..........so one of my seat belts now has a pink pad around it.......I had to counter act this "fluffiness"......so I bought some dog tag air fresheners!!!

We finally got Dad out of the house this evening for a trip to the pub for dinner............it was noticable that his feet are less swollen..........it's easier to get his shoes on..........and he's walking better.........................all down to the fact that we have stairs!.......he's done more exercise this last three days than he's done in the last three years.

He's going home tomorrow.......I hope he remembers what we've told him about sitting with his legs up..............and getting up and moving every hour or so.
