morning ladies 
What a grotty day we have outside today. I'll take a guess and think the lawn won't be mowed today.
lol yes, OHH and popeye, this rest home is above and beyond what is expected. I think it could be because it's a rural hospital/care facility and also community supported. They are always fundraising, and the community comes to the party
So different to these big commercial places. Oh, and the serving of tiramisu was huge lol. I'll take pics to show you if I am there while MrK has a meal. They have new cooks who only started yesterday so the meals weren't on time, but no body minded, and the nurses mucked in and helped out. I'm even offered a cuppa when the tea trolley comes round. MrK is offered tea, coffee, orange juice or lemonade and there is always home baking for morning tea. And it's spotless. Cleaned and vacumed every day. After knowing what happened to popeye's MrP, I was very skeptical about respite care and was ready to advocate hard for MrK. But there was no need which was a huge relief.
I'll be back up to the rest home today, hopefully will catch our GP. I missed her yesterday. And I need to grocery shop at some stage. It will be weird shopping for one. I was thinking yesterday, if MrK ends up in care full time, it will be the first time in my life I will be living alone. Left home to flat with others and then living with MrK, and then marriage. No 'alone time' in between. A new chapter for both of us.
Time to get moving. If the lawn guy isn't coming, I might as well do the groceries.
Have a good one!
