We have been so lucky with the weather today! It's been a gorgeous day, sunny and warm. The clocks went forward so we lost a precious hour, but I was up at about 8:00am and sorting out our washing from the holiday.
Keith and I had no choice but to go to Tesco this morning as we needed some shopping. It was definitely back to earth with a bump! It's Mother's Day here in the UK, so Tesco was busy with people buying flowers. I was glad I'd bought everything I needed last week!
We did the shopping as quickly as we could and returned home to have lunch of leftover Chinese. In between writing the blog, I dealt with the laundry, and Sophie gave the house a quick clean. At 3:00pm, we drove over to see my Mum, but when we arrived, she was nowhere to be seen. I asked a carer where they were, but he didn't have a clue. Luckily, I saw one of the senior carers who said they'd gone down to a singer, who hadn't yet arrived.
I was annoyed as I'd called Mum earlier in the day, but I hadn't been able to get through. However, she knew we were visiting today and I'd brought a bottle of Prosecco with me so we could sit and enjoy a glass with her.
Downstairs, she was looking a bit bewildered, and I gave her the gifts I'd bought for her. My Dad immediately said that his watch was broken and they couldn't access Netflix again, so I was a little annoyed. It wasn't the best of visits!
On the way home, Sophie said that she thinks my Mum seems permanently confused now, which is worrying. It's hard to sit and have a conversation with her, and I felt like having a good cry, to be honest.
We spent the rest of the afternoon finishing the laundry (I managed to get it all dry because of the beautiful weather) and relaxing. I'd bought a lovely bottle of Italian Pinot Grigio in Tesco this morning and it accompanied our meal of cold meats and salad perfectly!
