Oh and I baked a cake too!

After a nice couple of days off I was starting to feel more rested. We went to see the miniature masterpieces exhibition at Wollaton Hall (aka Wayne Manor!), which was really cool. Today has not been so good with having to take H back to hospital this morning🤯. I hate that corridor😮‍💨

Today I made it to Waterstones to spend my Christmas vouchers. I also planted 240 bulbs in the garden. They should have gone in 4 months ago, but didn’t have the headspace. Hopefully some will still grow!

I was on tea duty tonight. Knocked up boeuf bourguignon. It was rather good, and better still is there’s enough left for lunch for the next couple of days!

After the stresses of the last week, I’m the only one in this house awake! I’m taking the opportunity for a long quiet soak with coffee and my book! Weather outside is looking miserable so I’m not sure I’m going to manage anything in the garden later. Bring on spring!

Here we go again. An early start this morning for what we are hoping will be Hs final surgery. I hate this period of waiting to hear she’s in recovery😬

Off to the big smoke for a couple of day. Damn this anxiety😮‍💨🤦‍♂️. Here’s hoping a couple of hours reading will help

I’m done for the day. Baked a cake for 16s birthday with 11 and H. Fish and chips for tea, as he chose his birthday takeaway! It’s not until next weekend, but he’s off on a field trip next weekend!

Hope everyone managed to get through storm Éowyn safely and in once piece? Guinness time earlier was much appreciated decompression. I’m daring to start to suspect this current depressive episode might be lifting😮‍💨 Sláinte!

Reading time now. Really wish this depressive episode would do one. Had to take H to the hospital for ongoing treatment, which was triggering to the extent I dissociated😮‍💨😬. Had a reasonable weekend and finished installing the new cooker hood. And 11 baked cupcakes🥳🧁

Out with the old cooker that failed us trying to cook Christmas dinner. In with the new. We’ll have been married 25 years come September and this is the first brand new oven we’ve ever bought! Guinness and book last night was enjoyable! Depression still significant.

Survived my first day of work of the year. With all the flooding on route, driving wasn’t pleasant. Mad meds consumed. A few minutes reading and now watching tv with H. Hoping I make it to the end of the programme #knackered.

Last evening of my Christmas break. It was nice to catch up with old friends, spend time with the family, play board games, read and generally not do much. Not looking forward to tomorrow morning, but for now I’m enjoying the fire!

Happy New Year folks! We’re celebrating in style and likely to be asleep by 10! Mad meds taken, book in hand. 18 and 16 are having a few friends over to see the new year in (we’ve been banished from the fore now🤷‍♂️). Hope you have a good night and wishing everyone a better 2025!

I’m on dinner duty using left overs and whatever was in the cupboard. I’ve gone for a turkey and ham soup, with fresh shallots and shiitake mushrooms in a white wine and double cream sauce! After yesterday’s oven issues, it transpires I can no longer get the spares I need to fix it. #NeedANewOven
