Struggling Now

That's very kind of you Cat, but I've always thought you have more to put up with. You are always so busy, with not just one person to care for. And it must be very hurtful to deal with the change in your dad's personality.
Thank you Scarlett and bemused for your comforting words.
Nick okay today, but in bed with the sides up rather than out in the chair. A couple of the other men in the ward are very kind and make sure he gets a paper, although he doesn't read it. He seems his usual happy self, apart from getting frustrated when he can finish his sentences.
Off to bed now, the builders will be in first thing.
Love and blessings

I walk away from it all though. I sleep without being disturbed. You have it 24/7. I don't think I could do that.
Well, we all have our struggles in different ways, and it's good we've got each other.
On an entirely different subject Look who I found when I went to feed the birds.

Hate to say this but are you sure it is a mouse? The only reason I ask is that one day dau were sitting in the sun idly watching what we thought was a poorly mouse when son came in and blandly informed us that it was actually a baby rat. Put a dIfferent complexion on it. Says you can always tell by the pointy nose and long tail
It's a wood mouse, I think.
They can jump incredible distances, look like little kangaroos sometimes.

I'm sure sleepless is right that it's a wood mouse Verity, but thanks for your concern. They do get into the cellar. One Christmas when I went to get out the little german houses (sure you'll know these Heike) they had moved in, insulated them with chewed up polystyrene and had a store of birdseed. Sadly they were evicted although I did feel mean.
Yes the hoist did come thank you bemused. They do seem to be very efficient with equipment down here. They've visited so often the van drivers wave to me in the street.
Nick seems okay, although in bed again today. I need to ask why they're not getting him up but everyone seemed busy as I was leaving. He just seems more frail and I think his memory is worse. They will keep him in until the infection is cleared and they can remove the catheter. As Jinx said, it's hard to get hold of the doctor. I decided to go by bus today. There is one that goes to the hospital from about 5 minutes walk away, but it took one and a half hours It went everywhere. Know how difficult it must be for you Chuggs. I think you do very well to visit Mr Chuggs at all.
Oh, dormice, Heike, I'd love to see a dormouse. I'm glad they survived.
I am having annoying computer problems. The tablet won't charge and the Apple desktop seems weird. Sometimes when I want to reply to a post and click on the relevant button the screen goes blank and I have to go back a page and try again. It's very annoying. Hopefully it won't get worse but if I don't post for a while that will be why. It also just loses the page when I'm typing a post, but if I click on the auto save it brings it back which was a great discovery.
Hope you all have a good night.

It is a bit different, going by bus, ain't it, Es! But, if there were no such thing, or trains, or taxis, what on earth would those of us who have no transport do? It's worse for Mum, as there are absolutely no facilities in her village. It used to be a thriving business hotspot at one time. Now, there's one pub, and a twice-weekly visit from a post office from a village or two away from where she lives. No shop there, for some years, now.
The bus service where she lives got to the point where you'd take one to get to a certain point, then, have to wait for another to go to the town I live near. What a nightmare if hubby and I had decided to live there. I couldn't imagine it, now, although the village is lovely, otherwise.

I love them little houses Es
Cats were playing with my garden boots, putting their heads in it and when I investigated I found a little frightened dor mouse in it awwww . They are cute next time I try and take a photo for you Es . I am sorry Nick seems still poorly . It takes a lot to fight infection and hopefully communicating will be better once Nick has recovered . Keeping fingers crossed for him . Sending lots of love xxxxxSent from my iPhone using Talking Point
Don't use an Apple pooter, Es - my tablet's a Kindle Fire. I do sometimes have the screen black out when I'm doing something. I then just plug it in and it will charge. You might check your connection when charging. It could be a simple thing like replacing the charging cable. They are thin and can fray inside. I oughta get a spare for mine, tbh.
If you use a USB cable to plug-in-the-wall, swap the cable out for a spare one if you have it, and try charging again.

Hoping all will be well for you both today, Es. Fred was fine yesterday but got a bit grumpy with me towards the end of the visit so quietly left and hopefully he will be OK next time. He did ask me at one stage whether I was going just yet so perhaps he was grumpy because I didn't take the hint? His twiddlemuff has already gone missing but will hopefully turn up sometime. Took another one in yesterday. Have a standing order now and friends knitting like mad! Thinking of you. xxx
Morning Es, no exactly what you mean about losing the post, I have an Apple computer and my pages just disappear and can't put pics. up on TP. Hope you have a good time with your friends today. And the news of Nick will be good. Thinking of you and sending lots of love xxxxxx
