I don't know whether it's because of the half-term holiday, but we've received far fewer emails this week, so it's given me a chance to catch up with other jobs. I put two new classes on today, and also, to my great delight, worked out the new system for our playscheme places and put them onto the system as well. I was so pleased! It suddenly just fell into place, so now I need to show Sara and Sheila, and we'll have to test them on our website, something I can do next week. I'm on annual leave Monday and Tuesday, so I'm looking forward to five days off.
Keith picked me up at 2pm, we drove home, and then I went straight out again to see my parents. My Dad had gone down to one of the lounges to play carpet bowls, so I sat on the sofa with my Mum, who seemed to be in a very morose mood. When my Dad returned, he appeared vacant, so I said goodbye and returned home.
It was my turn to prepare dinner tonight, and we'd decided to have a Berlin favourite, a potato and sausage soup. I chopped up potatoes, an onion and celery, and sweated them gently in a casserole dish. Once they were softened, I blitzed them and added chopped up frankfurters. We ate the meal with flatbread, and I have to say the soup was delicious and almost as good as the one served in Reinhard's. How we miss that restaurant!
After dinner, the care home called to say that both my parents had fallen over (my Mum helping Dad when I told her not to) and they had to call an ambulance for my Mum as she'd cut her head. I was angry with them both for ignoring all the advice and getting themselves into another dangerous situation again. At 10pm, the phone rang again, and it was one of the carers saying that she didn't think my Mum would need to go to the hospital. Thank goodness for that!
