Whilst I put on a gramaphone record for Dad as he took a rest in his 'air bed' as he likes to describe the hospital bed which we have downstairs, I knew I had a 25 minute window to get back to Mum's grave today with the flowers I had purchased.
I crafted a container from an empty soda water bottle and weighted it down with stones. Satisfied, I took a quick snap and ran back to Dad's in time to turn the record over.
Unfortunately a fly decided to land on one of the flowers and lacking a proper editing tool here, the windows photos has made rather a mess at my attempt to clone it out.
Excuse me as I must now rest - it has been a stressful day, with the Dr out (first time Dad has actually seen her in a full year) and a missing hearing aid. Tomorrow, we have to venture out to the vaccination centre and getting organised for this will be a mammoth effort. I'll be back when things are calm.
Thanks for your kind wishes and comments on yesterday's post.
I wish I could give you a hug! You are always so thoughtful in what you say and write. I'm sorry you have all this on your plate, as it were, but glad to see that your sons send flowers. I hope you find time to just breathe them in.
beautiful bouquet, helen. the colours are so attractive, but was the fly so ugly you had to remove it? okay, don't answer that. i hope you get to have more free time soon.
It is good that you can find the time to go to your mother's grave.
