Sunday afternoon in One day at a time

Stretched out on the recliner, Booboo the cat on my knee, chips and dip at the ready and watching the Big C on DVR. For some reason the local television network had a falling out with some of the big US networks, and we got left high and dry with some series (The New Girl, The Mindy project) and they buried other shows on their sister station that I hardly ever watch. Now I keep missing the first couple of episodes of things and then discovering them as I am randomly channel surfing. Annoying.

This is nothing compared to what others are going through, but I am so fed up with the summer weather here. Constant rain and wind. I have shelved the dress plan because there is nothing worse than having to walk along the street holding your skirt down. Sprinkled in is the occasional nice day - Thursday was a public holiday and I went on a bus-ride to country horse racing meet. Great day out, but I had to take a sunhat, sunscreen and a rain coat.....

Richard is having his hip replaced in a couple of weeks. The pain has become uncontrollable over the last couple of months and he has been pushed up the public surgery waiting list. He refuses any kind of help but I have a plan. I will deliver a few ready made meals to his Mother while he is in hospital. She is in her 80's and frail, and I figure this will be helping her not him. Only problem is I can't cook to save myself, so I'm going to have to get one of my super accomplished friends to help me cook. Sigh.
