If you ever get the chance, grab it.
The impact of Leone’s sudden dramatic shots with Morricone’s accompanying music simply cannot be matched by a TV.

Hmm...
Combined winter fuel bill £229, minus £140 Warm Homes payment. Balance: Only £89 - whoopee!
(2 days later) But that was only until the fuel price rises... Let's add £171 to that!

Good morning people, my Good Ladies home later, good day yesterday starting with the family coming round in the morning, I spent the afternoon at Whitemores Antiques at Shenton, I'd wanted to go to a miniature steam event but couldn't get a ticket, then spent the evening at the hospital, last visit till next time, I've spent over fifty quid on parking over the last fortnight.

Hope all goes well Dave and they get a decent care package in place that allows you to have some time for yourself too. xx
Dry just now here but rain due by 8am and to be on most of the day so I’ll get out for an early walk and get a few bits of shopping on the way back. My old neighbours are coming up to Aberfeldy for a short break so are popping in for a visit on their way. We had hoped for a walk but can’t see it happening if it’s heavy rain. I’m popping up to Aberfeldy to see them on Wednesday when we’ll have lunch out and probably walk for a bit there.
Our main hospital DID have various parking 'perks" eg free for blue badge or regular cancer treatment.......all gone now sadly.

I had siesta after my dinner of homemade cottage pie
One of my favourites. Mrs P does a veggie version using lentils instead of meat. It's scrummy.

I watch a lot of Netflix and enjoy what I find. It sounds as though I should pay a bit more attention to Prime. To be honest I've dismissed it as a rip off as regards entertainment because every time we look for a specific film there has been a charge. I don't mind paying for stuff but Prime is forever telling me 1000s of films are included for free!!!
I'll give it another go. Any recommendations.

Is this a regular thing in Glasgow? Is it by chance at a national chain or an enterprising independent? I'd be interested in seeing some of these old movies on the big screen.

Good luck with this Dave, it must be a great relief to see her home and safe. Hopefully the additional care will give you some respite and time for a few more miles.

I've got mixed feelings on this, on the one hand its lovely to see her well again and home, on the other hand I enjoyed last week on my own, the previous week wasn't good, but once she was on the mend I could relax a bit, I've been told the care package is going to be the same as we had in place before she went in hospital.

Yes, get lucky with the start word and it makes things easier. I did the wordle in three, just got the dordle and failed at the quordle, three out of four again, I do that regularly.
Like you I have to do everything at home ie washing, cooking etc as MrsD just cannot stand up to help.
Yesterday I did spagbol and took the onion, pepper and mushrooms on a tray so she managed that, slowly but at least she could do it.
However, with a zimmer frame she can get to the bathroom and bed etc so I/we have that advantage.
We tried a care package but we have to pay and at £1,200+ per month we decided to battle on and just pay a cleaner to blitz things 1/2 day a week.

Thanks but no thanks. I think I'll pass.
Morning folks. Another nice day in store for us. I have a loaf of bread baking in the bread maker. I am so organised 
.
Probably gammon sandwiches later for us.
Good luck Dave. I hope it all works out with Mrs Dave.
Stay safe peeps
