Well, today I finally got around to organising for my lovely wall mounted gas heater in the hallway to be disconnected.

I really didn't want to see it go. It gives off such a lovely amount of heat. It is at the bottom of the stairs and in winter it is the only fire we need on most of the time as it seems to warm the whole house.

Anyway, it is an old fire. We had exactly the same type at my childhood home and know that they date back to the late 1970s

Just time for me to have a little think and to recap on what has been happening lately - something for me to look back at later and say - ah yes, that's when that started.....

Hubby seems to be showing a very slow, yet noticeable, deterioration with his short-term memory - so at this point I am not holding out a lot of hope that the Souvenaid he has been taking for the past month is having much effect. However, having said that, it is early days and I know it will take at least 3-6
