Up at 7:30... need two hours to eat b.fast and shower. Ready right on the dot of 9:30.
I saw the transport go past twice.. they couldn't find house! Eventually set off at 9:45.
Bright sunny day. Blinds closed at Hospice. Apparently sun gets in the eyes of people opposite the window and is too warm for those by the window... Oh well! Seems a shame not to enjoy the sun... but that's me!!
Asked re menu.. I could see Cottage Pie.. (I hate mince, especially institutional mince). So opted for Jacket pot, tuna mayo and salad.
I then started my interview with Teena... a "getting to know you time". After a short while Jenny arrived.
Jenny is a volunteer artist who was happy to share water colour techniques. We started with primary colours...... I slipped in I had an HND in Fine Art... we went on to dilution.... Then at 11:55 the table needed to be laid for lunch. But I hadn't touched the paint ! Resolved to get my watercolours out and have a go to show next week.
Escape for Nicotine....
Noon, lunch. Very good, simple, filling!
More interview...
2:00 Bus arrives to bring me back to Misty Morn.
A short sit, followed by a frenzied lay of table ( 3hrs!!), ready for book group at 8:00.
A great evening, discussing books recently read, which we would recommend.
Well,I haven't read since diagnosis... can't concentrate... so I did a Victoria Wood monologue, "Giving Notes"... based on an am-dram Hamlet... It went down well, I feel.
All hands to the pump and the house was cleared!!!
Bed, Shattered!!!
HUG ME, I'VE GOT MND.
Sounds like you got more out of the book group than hospice visit Nikki! Hugs xxxxxxxxxxxxx
