Derek’s Belated Birthday “Celebration”

Dropped Tash off to work in the morning so I could get her afterwards and then went to Aldi and did the food shopping – took me ages!

Rubbish day at work – got zilch done! Achieved absolutely sod all!

Didn’t do any exercise today – I was aching and in too much pain from boot camp last night – my bum cheeks were the worst hit!

Got Tash after work (about 4.30pm) and went up to Wheatley to see Derek. Sue and Simon were there and Derek was in his room still but very quiet, he’s not very well at all and was quiet and quite weak actually, struggling to hold things. Chatted etc and then gave him his tablet which was a bit of a job to get him to hold it and use it properly but I think over time he will get used to it and get enjoyment from it. Hopefully with Mum’s help they’ll get to work on it – if only with the crossword. The internet in his bedroom wasn’t the best so that’s a bit of a worry.

Had some cake and were there for about 2 hours and you could tell he was tired

Read some of this Birthday texts out to him – there were three – me, Tash and Lewis. Nothing from my sister or her kids – that’s not very good at all. Bit disappointed with Jack and Charlotte not texting him and will mention it to them.

Came home and had dinner and then watched two more episodes of The Stranger – it’s enjoyable nonsense but I am worried we’re watching too much TV – needs to find other things to do in the evening.

Early night as I have an early start tomorrow – Bess and Bella off to get their haircuts!
