It was a bit chilly this morning. Especially at 8am when Chickpea really REALLY had to wake poor DJ up……
Can you believe it – his first really decent sleep for about 5 weeks (from about 7pm – 2am, then from when he settled about 2.30am, and he was still sleeping soundly at 8am ! What bliss ! What a most wonderful gift to TH and ChickPea ! What a most generous answer to prayers – Thank You Kenny and Others…..) – and then he had to be woken up because the District Nurse was coming round early to repeat his blood test, and a ‘sitter’ was due at 8.30am because ChickPea (FINALLY – after near on 2 years, and repeated asking) had the chance of a training session about how to look after someone with Dementia…(!)……
I confess, ChickPea would dearly liked to have let him sleep longer………and should have got him up at 7.30am……….. but it was a bit chilly.
Yesterday and the day before were so gloriously warm and sunny, ChickPea was out in the garden in her equivalent of ‘shirtsleeves’. Domino Joe (DJ), meantime, was adamantly cuddled up in his jumper and fleece, determinedly staying in the conservatory, absolutely convinced ChickPea would be catching cold……..
So this morning he had the heating on for getting up from his bed. Ha ! - couldn’t you just do with a full time carer too !
