@hopless500 , I'm sure your grandfather would rather that you didn't waste the money, and that you had a nice holiday. I've never been to the funeral of any of my grandparents, all of whom died when I was a child, I'm envious of those who knew their grandparents as adults. Do something special on the holiday in memory of him, something he would have liked to have done or something that you would have come home and told him about.

The missus was up early to go to a patch working exhibitions in the Malverns (we are in South Manchester). She has gone with her local group. I was up, brewed some fresh coffee for her flask and made her sandwiches. Then went back to bed.
Up, and out, tip run done (cardboard packaging from daughter's replacement sofa bed). Droped off some stuff for the charity shop, home, grass cut, decking washed off, car washed. Giro on the telly now.

I've started Mondays job, I've got the curtain rail in the bay down, turned out to be two curtain rails bodged together, they had been up for years, we've been here 8 years and they were old when we moved in, the fun starts Monday when I will attempt to put up the replacement.
For those waiting on tenterhooks - The saxifrage were in by 0630, and I didn't get gut-rot from the 3rd coffee...
I also did some weeding in the rain.
Then I repatriated 6 slugs to another part of the garden.
I completed my gardening soiree by aggressively sticking two fingers up at a cat. The bast**d 'Brimstone Beast'.

Fair weathered,fair minded but easily persuaded.
Henry has been chasing a fly for the last 15 minutes.
Hopefully he will soon conk out asleep because he is not going to win and I reckon he has just about run 5 miles around the house.

I fancy a pootle over to the Hanker and Mope and then pub crawling it home along the river. Not all of them: that would be fatal.

MIL has just been carted off to hospital. She was fine yesterday when I was round, but has had increasingly bad pain in her paralysed leg (from stroke) and isn't mobile, so for safety, she has been wheeled. in. Bloody good job I got the web cam sorted out, as it wasn't the router. Only just got it back installed yesterday after a week off line - the camera stopped connecting (camera fault). All replaced under warranty, but I've been able to check recordings and she was fine until this morning and has gone down hill since late morning. Sister in law was round after the carers called the docs and herself.
Handy bits of kit as you can see what's going on, as my MIL says very little now, just deliberately awkward - nods, shakes head, points and shouts words. She can hold a conversation but won't.
At least they will be able to check her out. Effects of very badly controlled type 2 and heart failure we reccon. She tells everyone she isn't diabetic, nor has had heart attacks. She can't get away with the strokes, but as soon as she is on an ECG, they say, yes you have....
It doesn't help that she has no pain tolerance and is always crying. It's hard for everyone to get through to her.
