WOW another week gone and I didn't get into to post.... again.

On Monday I had a train trip up to the London Flat, only one of the agents turned up, but I can't spare anymore time, so we're going with these. Got curtains up, bed made, and a little vacuming and floor cleaning done.

Tuesday was our sole pool session this week- trainer on course on Thursday. Only did half an hour today. On previous sessions the fatigue has cut in even before we got home, so it's obviously too much. GOM was reasonably ok when we got home - managed most of the stairs but I had to meet him at the top to get him the last little bit in the 'glide about' chair /commode. Phoned Community Care this morning to try and get a commode that we can keep in the bedroom. The 'glide about' has been ok so far but now I have to keep moving it out of the bedroom for daytime use so it's a bit inconvenient.

David has started to double the dose of his medication. He's been on one a day, just taking am, but there has always been the option for doubling up, but he's not been too keen.... 'til now. It'll be a few days before we know if it's having any effect.

Heard from our london decorator that he can't remove the rubbish that we've left in the yard at the london flat because his van's broken down. :(

Wednesday contacted the agents about the rubish, but they say they want to continue so will post them the keys. Phone GOM's doctors - if he sticks with this double dose he's going to need a new prescription sooner than normal. Appointment next Tuesday. It's an afternoon one but if the tablets start working we may be ok, if not....... well cross that bridge etc.

Thursday, no pool session but a few errands to do. Post keys to agents and OH YES IT'S MY BIRTHDAY :().

Then we had a phone call to say that the commode is ready to be delivered so we had to be back by 12 noon. Bought David a shirt at debenhams.

Friday usual Waitrose shopping trip, nothing un toward happened.

And here we are back at Saturday again. GOM's therapist help me get some furniture down to the car. Then I can either leave it in the garage or take it when I go to the storage unit on Monday with the other stuff. It means I've managed to clear the lounge out a bit - I've been able to move one of the units into another room (study), so that we have a bit more room to keep the 'glide about' in one place during the day.

Chinese Street festival tomorrow which may be interesting
