morning ladies 
And we have another wet day today. It's certainly getting pretty soggy underfoot.
Awww your poor dogs, mica. We haven't had the thunder (yet) thank goodness as our boy hates it too. Have you tried those 'thunder' jackets? Good to hear your husband is chipper, fingers and everything crossed they got it all.
I remember when Dad was living with us and stayed in a rest home in Hamilton for some respite care. He lasted one night. Packed his bags and called me to pick him up the next day. When he was asked by the manager why he was leaving, he said the food was crap. No mincing words from him lol. He tried another rest home, local this time, fell out of bed and I was never told. It wasn't until my sister visited and he told her that we found out. After he left, they tried to bill me for his medication (when they were supposed to be free for him). When I told them, no, they were free, I was told 'well what do you want us to do about it? We've been charged for this and have paid it' I was furious by this stage and was about to let rip when another woman intervened and said they would sort it. Both rest homes were supposed to have good reputations. When the 'how did we do' questionnaire came out, I happily told them how they did.
Today I think we will hunker down like every one else. MrK is getting frustrated he can't get into his man cave as it is too wet to work with the doors open for the extra light. On a sunny day though, he has the perfect spot. So the cabinet he's building is proving to be a slow project. I need to repot my clematis and I have some other seedlings that need planting out as well. My sister-in-law gave me six seedlings of Yesterday Today & Tomorrow. Am so glad to have it back in the garden as we had to leave our original one behind when we sold. But heaven knows where six of them are going to go. I could plant most of them along the frontage mixed with hydrangeas I suppose. I have seen them as a hedge and they looked great so will think about that idea.
Whatever the day holds, I'll do some more stitching. The first wing is almost done.
Happy crafting
