After several phone calls, I have arranged to drive to my sister's on Friday night. We will drive together to the Midlands on Saturday morning (thus visiting the family but not making it to the funeral) and back at the crack of dawn next day. Then I will drive home from her house the same evening, in time to get the boys off to bed before school next morning. This will mean that Dad only has to manage two days and two nights alone. As long as he's well enough to be left, of course.
And today I discovered that the freezer door has been open since yesterday. Disaster. Everything is ruined. I might have saved a bit of the meat, but was too tired and fraught to do anything with it today so have just stuck it in the fridge in the hope it might be OK to cook tomorrow. The Smudgelets were, of course, distraught as they came in and found me in tears over a pile of thawing food in the sink - and especially because they are fairly sure it was them that left it open. So between us we would have made a fortune if we'd had shares in Kleenex.
I know there must be some good news to record here. Now, just let me think what it is!
AH, I know. I decided I didn't care about my diet today and raided the jelly babies :D
