Sorry I've not been around, it's been busy! Michael's party was a great success I think, if the exhaustion of the adults was anything to go by when it was over About 10 minutes in, one little boy fell and hit his head on the corner of the coffee table and bled profusely from a tiny scratch on his hairline It was soon cleaned up, the tears dried and he was back in the fray. Miss Osc got in touch with his mother who wasn't at all phased, apparently his third head wound in two weeks They were lovely children I must say, all well mannered, played the games, ate the food and didn't make too much mess
Yesterday we went to see what work had been done on our house while we were away, definite progress in the week which was good to see. Less than a month to scheduled finishing day
Miss Osc and hubby are looking for somewhere else to rent, it's very stressful worrying about flooding every time it rains. They have looked at three places today, one they loved but the rent is higher than here so they need to do the sums but it probably won't be affordable. There are still dryers and dehumidifiers going all the time and it is drying out, but it means we are now using their living room which is not easy for them, plus they are still sleeping in the living room as well while their bedroom dries out. I haven't even unpacked properly after our holiday.
Just heard this evening that a guy we knew in college, and met once or twice over the years, had a massive stroke while on holiday in the Bahamas and passed away today, so a lot of people gave awful stuff going on in their lives which puts all this into perspective.
Hope everyone is well xxx
