Mon

Wish i'd gone up earlier to see mum but big sis said she would be okies so i went at normal visiting time...She was very very very upset so they had drawn the curtain round her...Good news is she may get home on wed will find more today...Big sis has come in this afternoon because of yesterdays news and i will go up tonight...I left my number as a 2nd contact with the ward sister last night and said phone anytime as i am only 5 mins drive from the hossy...She will be out before the funeral as 2 of my uncles granddaughters graduate on thurs so funeral not till after then...Maybe i shouldn't be writing this for anyone to see but it was sudden really...Ok so he was 75 but he had just done a sponsored walk of a fair old distance (15-20miles) just 3-4 weeks ago...Then suddenly takes ill and no idea what it was...Braver man than i will ever be as it was him who asked them to switch off machines yesterday...If mum hadn't been going to be out in time i was going to kidnap her to take her up to the funeral...

On a lighter note it is a beautiful, hot, sunny day...Daughter has gone to a beach party/BBQ with the young carers...Last 2 summers when they have gone it has poured with rain the day it was arranged for...She better remember to put on the suntan lotion...Got her one that has built in insect repellant...She is allergic to midge bites :o( ...We found this out 2 summers ago when she came home from a weekend away with youth action committee...Her body was covered in massive lumps and when i say massive i mean at least as big as a 50p...GP said allergy to midges...Bit of a bummer as Scotland is full of the blighters...Cleaned most of the living room need to do more though...Going to go and clean out my kitchen just now as i need to do something to keep busy...Toodle Pip tc xx

I'm glad your Mum is doing well, though sorry she was so upset.  I hope she makes it home on Wednesday.
Take care my dear.

I'm sure she would have remembered the insect repellent, no girl wants to be covered in midge bites lumps. {{{{{}}}}} to you
