Homey weekend

sunamakeup Mayıs 22, 2022

The weather forecast is not great for this weekend so we have put off our first night in the van. Windscreen wipers were fixed. O H fitted the new motor in minutes. That saved us a bit. I had my first drive. It felt a bit scary at first. I just did a local road away from too much traffic. I mastered the gears after a few minutes. The height threw me a bit. It caught on some overhanging tree foliage a couple of times. I have researched some sites that stay open all year round. To start with we will have a hard standing and electric to see how that all works. We have some busy times in the next fortnight so we will have to wait a bit. I hope to do some reviews and reflections on the sites we visit.
A visit to the opticians left me with a lighter purse. I paid £40 extra for an eye scan for macular degeneration. As I took the drug tamoxifen for 5 years after breast cancer treatment there were significant changes in my vision so I have to have regular checks. New glasses will be varifocal and transition lenses. All in all £355 pounds! I was expecting this amount so paid everything and tried not to dwell on it. My glasses have some lens damage and scratches so I am looking forward to seeing through crystal clear ones in a few days.
Nanny duty tonight. This little monkey is now 5 months old and hasn't slept through one night yet.

I think poor mummy and daddy need a break. They have tried everything and had expert advice but no success yet. Mummy is feeling poorly and daddy is looking shattered and has a long work shift today. Oh the joys! My 5 were all good sleepers but every baby is different. We are just weeks away from the next one arriving so he is to have another little cousin friend. I have the older ones next weekend. They don't even want to get out of bed for school sometimes!
