Down in Cornwall at the moment in my mums house. Painting, decorating and fixing things. Finally the storm has blown itself out but the winds the last two days have been pretty strong. Now it's just wet.

Left the OH to hold the fort at Heero Towers. :D

Sorry Den, she passed away last summer. We're getting the house ready for sale. My sisters have been dealing with her personal effects.

I'm doing the things that I can do best. Mostly maintenance stuff.

My first error free count last night of 2017. YES! Also, getting a smile from a manager who rarely smiles, and complimented too. Wow. Can today get better?

I had such a lovely day compared to yesterday my eldest son came with me while I did my parents shopping and the time flew by it was so nice to have some company for a change then he treated me to lunch nothing fancy just a cuppa and a scone from Sainsbury's cafe, I suspect the reason he took me there rather than Morrison's cafe is he gets his employee discount there. We had a good old chat and I must say what a perfect gentleman he is as all I got all day was Mum just go in the car I'll put the shopping in the boot then when we got to his Granny & Papa's it was Mum you go in I'll get the messages/shopping he even put it all away for his Granny and Papa.

He now thinks that his grandparents a mad as I have to go to three shops for there shopping 1st shop Asda, 2nd shop Morrison's then finally Sainsbury's for just one item which is Sainsbury's Somerset Brie, I did laugh when he said Papa and Granny do know that they can get all this stuff from the one shop, he was also amazed when my Dad gave me 3 envelopes with money in each one and the envelopes were marked with A, M and S, he did ask what a envelopes for and I said your see :D he soon worked out A means Asda, M means Morrisons and S for Sainsburys.

Even though I'm 48 and still live at home I still look after my mum and dad.

When I take my mum to hospital visits in London, (My dad can't) I'll always bu lunch.

Well, finally this week has finished. YAY! I kid you not, thanks to Google Maps on my phone, I can tell you what time I was at my jobs this week just gone. Seriously, think twice before applying to WIS International, because these times don't include the travel times to and from jobs.

Sunday, Canary Wharf. 12:50-23:56
Monday, Victoria. 17:29-03:00
Tuesday, Chelsea. 18:56-02:14
Wednesday, Clapham. 17:56-03:08
Thursday, Southampton. 20:17-04:26

Off to Lahndahn for 4 days with SWMBO to play tourist and meet up with friends and family.

Lots of stuff planned/pre-booked - Kensington Palace, Banqueting House, Portobello Road, Tower of London, SkyGarden for brunch, Shard Bar for afternoon cocktails, Theatre (Book of Mormon), Ivy Chelsea for lunch, Tuesday & Wednesday evening meals (1 at a Steak House, the other at a Peruvian restaurant).

Travelling in comfort as we got a great deal on 1st Class returns.

Some shopping may also be undertaken...
