Tootled along to see mum today, but after I did something for me and for once without feeling guilty.
Mum was on form and spotted me and shouted me over (thinking I'm dad but getting my name right). Managed to stop her from going in someones room and said no mum your rooms upstairs. 'Oh yes' she said 'it is'.
Today she was dressed in her new trousers I bought and everything was right apart from the mans cardigan she was wearing, but I let that go because mum was convinced she had knitted it and showed me how well the zip worked (at which point I was chuckling).
I took a shoe catalogue in for a well known company and asked her to choose some new shoes that would be comfy for her swelling feet (there's a clue there guys). She enjoyed looking and choosing. Finally we narrowed her choice down to one, so I will order those for her so she can go out knowing her shoes fit on day trips.
We talked for a while about her day. having just had lunch she told me she really enjoyed her Sunday dinner and then nodded off, so I left her to have a snooze as she looked peaceful.
