This is what Keith nearly got for breakfast this morning! He normally has porridge but I had egg yolks to use up today, so did him scrambled eggs, and as they were cooking, put his bowl in to heat, with two spoonfuls of cooked blueberries - for porridge. Fortunately I noticed before combining the two!
I am glad to say Keith is slowly recovering from his Covid jab, which always stops his medications working properly and makes mobility a real struggle. Without Danny here, I don't know how I would have coped as he had to practically carry him part of the way to bed.
Dan's just gone off into a filthy wet pitch black night to drive all the way to Carmarthen and back to pick up Emma. His first real test of night-time driving, so I won't rest until they are safely home. He got "I" fed and into bed before he went and she was soundo when I popped up just now.
"I" was good today, a little blip about 2 p.m. but she was missing her mum and went up with Danny for a bit and sat on the bed with some of her books and then we did some dinosaur jigsaws together. I have been up to my ears in washing - still getting through their hoard of stored clothing which was smelling musty from the damp flat they had. Oh my goodness, I'd forgotten how long it takes to straighten up and hang out eleventy-dozen tiny socks - not one of them seemingly a pair!
The sewing machine has now decided to play up. Tension problems, but I'd just put a freshly-loaded bobbin in, so suspect it's to do with that. Will have a look in the morning. Too tired tonight.
I had a brainwave about the centre patches for the quilt and have ordered some 5" blocks in pretty pink prints from Ebay. I will use those to make standardising the size simple, and then applique the central design in place.
Meanwhile, off to rest and make the most of a quiet evening. We will soon establish a routine and I am happy to balance a couple of days of childcare against the support I am having from Danny and Emma.
