Keith went to Tesco this morning and did a grocery shop while I tackled a long list of jobs I had to do. We have asked Keith to make us sausage rolls again tomorrow to take with us, and the number of things we need to pack into the car is growing ever more!
I gradually ticked off the jobs I had to do, and in the early afternoon, I went to see my Mum. She was sitting in the dining room when I arrived, so I took her back to her room, and she gave me a list of things she needed. The weather outside was still dreadful, so I went on my own.
I bought her some new clothes - two pairs of soft trousers, a lovely new T-shirt and a blouse, as well as a pack of sports bras. I just hoped they'd fit! As well as the clothes, I bought her some chocolates and cakes as a treat.
On the way back to the car, I got soaked by the steady drizzle of rain. It was horrible! Mum was delighted with her clothes and tried on the T-shirt straightaway. It fitted perfectly and looked lovely. It was a size 16, but looked tiny! We sat and chatted for a while, and she was a little emotional when I left. I don't think she realises we're off to France on Saturday (and down to Portsmouth tomorrow), but I will call the care home when I'm away and ask to speak to her on the phone. I did try to fix her mobile, but it looked like it's truly had it!
Back home, I carried on with more jobs, and it was great to relax when Sophie got back. We are both working half a day tomorrow and planning to leave at about 1:00pm. At least we haven't got an early start!
