Far and Away

@Faith-and-Hope @Former-Member Went to Bunnings - got my attic ladder 🤸‍♀️ - scripts from the chemist and things from the supermarket. Was not long home and was going to catch up on some sleep when my sister turned up. She had taken Dad to hospital and he is being admitted. That means Mum will be home alone so I think my sister is going to stay with her tonight. I will go tomorrow to see what needs to be done - and to give my sister a break. We are not sure how long Dad will be in hospital at this stage - hopefully only a couple of days - so will have to play in by ear for now. Mum of course still can't be left alone for long - she is improving a lot but still on crutches and certainly cannot look after the dogs or horses. Dad has someone coming to help with the horses and my sister will walk and feed the dogs.

Going to grab some sleep now then do a few things this afternoon so I can travel tomorrow and do what needs to be done at my parents' place. Not at all the start to a new year I expected or need but just need to deal with it.

@Zoe7 .... wishing your Dad well 💜

Hope your dad is ok @Zoe7

And your mum too xxx

@Former-Member He had a cut on the bottom of his foot that has now got infected and moved to his leg. He has diabetes too so that complicates things a bit. They have him on IV anti-biotics and are monitoring - hopefully he will be only in there a couple of days but he will then have to rest at home until it heals properly.

I have just finished pruning and weeding one part of the garden and put it all on the trailer - was going to do that all tomorrow. There is still a bit to do but I have made a start. Hopefully I will have a little bit of time when I get home tomorrow to do another section.

My attic is massive - enough space for 2 small rooms or one larger one. I am going to eventually put a window and power in so it can be used as my art space but for now it is just going to be semi-converted for storage. I have so much school stuff that I am not using at present but if I ever go back on class I will.

Thanks @Faith-and-Hope and @Shaz51 Just as Mum starts to improve we now have Dad out of action - so much for a complete break - but it can't be helped.

How are you all doing?

Wow, that is a big attic @Zoe7 .

We did that for a while - used an attic as a storage space, then converted it into rooms.

👋💕 @Former-Member

Not at this stage @Former-Member ..... it's people coming into WA, not people leaving .... and I have to be back for a legal reason unless something happens to prevent me.

It is a big attic @Faith-and-Hope which is good for storage just now and yes a conversion to an extra room eventually.
