One day at a time

Apple - MacBook New toy, well in fact a replacement for a old one ibook that is really getting to the end of its useful life. Doesn't mean I'm not sad that I have to replace it, funny how you can get attached to inaminiate objects. Blogged with Flock

Got back from my trip home to find my 84 year old uncle had fallen over in the shower and broken his arm. To matters worse, he was way up near Broken Hill when it happened. By the time I arrived back in the country he was already home and I have been to see him and my aunt. Although tied and in some pain, he was in good spirits and my aunt appears to be coping. Will be keeping an eye on them for a while.

Saturday 15 March No doubt the longest Saturday of my life and one where I had so little sleep that I'm probably lucky I got back home in one piece. Had the emergency exit for the first flight, but didn't help at all. This time I was physically sick on the flight to London. Sunday 16 March Got a good night sleep and after breakfast , I drove down to Tescos to get some money and lunch. Picked up a pasta and shaving things. Got mum to try some pasta with meatballs. Arranged to pick up one sister, Pauline on the way to the hospital and to have dinner at my other sister's, Janice. Dad looked in good shape to say what he had been through and was more worried about mum than himself. Gave Aunty Buster a call too. I must be tried, got emotional over a skating competition ! Monday 17 March More shopping, this time Argos and Lidels (which appears identical to Aldi). Bought a kettle to replace the one that was virtually falling apart. Went to see Dad with Janice & she directed me...

Sad news from home - Nottingham, my father is seriously ill in hospital, so I am going to fly over to see him and the rest of the family. Hasn't really hit me as yet, I'm guess that will happen when I see him in bed in the hospital - never expected this and was a surprise to the family. Every now and then I get overcome with emotion about what the final outcome of this illness could be and shed a tear or two, I expect more of that when I get home and face the reality of it all.
