This morning Scarlett and I walked down to the village to have a look round for the cat and write on the board outside the shop that he is missing from the croft and has been spotted in the village. No sign of him today.
Before we left I made some cheese scone mix as we were out of bread, so when we got home I baked them for lunch. Davies is struggling with his nose the last few days. He has very swollen turbinates in both nostrils which he had looked at by the doctor last year and was prescribed nasal spray and anti histimines. He doesn’t use either and I stopped nagging / reminding him after the first few weeks as he was so resistant and I decided it was down to him. If the swelling, snot and lack of sense of smell bothered him enough he would use them, if not then he would not. Suddenly he is suffering and is clearly finding it tough, I assume due to some sort of seasonal hayfever or similar so has actually used both for the last two days. But the spray tastes nasty when it trickles down the back of his throat and he says it is initially quite burny. He has agreed to try for the next week to see if there is any improvement and if not to see the doctor again.
After lunch the weather had changed and was alternately midgey and raining. I had a rant at everyone – Davies was bored and annoying Scarlett, Scarlett didn’t want to do the washing up and was moaning about that, Ady was being unsupportive of me telling the kids off and trying to make out I was nagging . Grr!
We have ordered some vacuum storage bags to keep spare clothes, bedding etc in the wardrobes to prevent them going moldy this winter and the bedrooms all need some cleaning out but it seem silly to do that until the bags arrive so instead I cleared off the bookshelves in the lounge. If you didn’t know they probably wouldn’t look any different but they are now back in a sort of order of genre and have all been hoovered and cleaned behind. If we’re doing another winter in the caravan we’re hoping to make it a bit nicer and cosier in here, starting with storage, a bit of redecorating and making it warmer. We’ve always maintained each winter would be our last so never really done any improvements to the inside at all but this will be our fourth winter and it is tired and could do with some TLC.
Ady cooked dinner, we watched Doctor Who and everyone has had a pretty early night. Think I might do the same.
