sorry no photos,

I arose cheerily at 4:15 this am just to have enough prep time for tea and toast before driving Kev to the airport for another flight to Adelaide. Kiss-kiss and off he went. I continued on for a much needed family catch up. First stop was to Aimee. I did some crossword puzzles in the car until I thought it decent to go on and surprise her in her jammies. She was feeling a little under the weather from a bout of the flu she said so I was lucky to catch her home instead of rushing off to school. I forget how young she is; only 18. There's problems with the boyfriend and I don't think she was relaxed enough to tell me everything, so sad.

Next stop was to see Aiellene. Her girls have gone to live with their Dad and Edgar was at preschool so after a chat I drove her to Betty's. I have to say I enjoyed the time spent with Mum this time. She was alert and it was too early for her t.v shows!! Big news she has seen reason and has put the house in Gateshead up for sale. Along with that they have to decide on a new place to live now that the authorities know that Mum is living with Betty they don't want to be held liable if Mum takes a tumble down the stairs. They are going to get something with a ground floor bedroom etc for her. This all takes time of course. I didn't see anyone else. Betty bought subway for lunch and I returned Aiellene to school in time to collect Edgar then drove home. I'm quite tired now and am going to take a nice hot tub.

I have an early start tomorrow, going back to Newy to attend a first-aid course.
