Wednesday 10th August 2016

Went to Blyth market, met up with Cliff and Hazel, went to Ashington to return to key for the caravan storage park. Cliff and Hazel went for a look around the shops, Val and I got something to eat. Dropped Hazel and Cliff off on the sea front so they could walk to St. Mary's Lighthouse.

Had a short rest then went shopping at B & M bargains in North Shields.

Not feeling too good at bedtime.

Thursday 11th August 2016

Feeling ill this morning so Val went shopping at Aldi on her own, I stayed in bed till lunch time, then took my emergency pack of Antibiotic and steroids, rested all afternoon till dinner time, Val had done a lovely mild chicken curry, and I enjoyed it very much. 

Stayed up in the evening, and was very tired when I went to bed at 10.pm but was fully awake after about 1/2 and hour. One hours sleep between 3 and 4 and that was it. Got fed up with lying there awake so was up at 6.30.

Nice early start, hope the energy lasts out.

3rd Wedding anniversary today, doesn't the time fly.

Plan to go and check the Gealletta  out today, just to see if it fits. Found out the cost of fitting a tow bar, and put that on out of mind.

Went to Silbury Skoda at Dudley and looked at the new Yeti and Octavia, both big and comfortable but the sales man offered us a good deal on the top spec. Octavia (big discount on up-front payment) so one is on order in very shiny dark grey.

Home in the afternoon for a rest, then burst of energy had me cleaning all the outside windows.

TV and a drink of alco-pops in the evening and early to bed again.

Saturday 13 August 2016

Up early again after a poor nights sleep, I think the anti-biotic is acting like a pep pill and making me very rest less.

Graeme called early for a cup of tea and we talked about what wants doing next in his house.

Val and I went along later, Val building his bathroom cabinet and I put the brackets on the wall for the TV. and got it all working by lunch time.

Short rest in the afternoon but no sleep. Got up and did some weeding and tidying up in the garden.

Nice big mince and dumpling for dinner.

Watered the garden after dinner and managed to flood the bathroom as well.

TV and a drink again this evening,

Taking Cliff and Hazel to the airport tomorrow morning, hazel going home after a 2 week holiday here.
