Growing up

This was a brilliant read, I have read almost all the DCI Roy Grace books set in Brighton, along side his cases there is the theme of his wife disappearing without trace. This book is Sandy his wife's story, why and how she disappeared, it is a good plot, well written. Book 18 read this year.

I have read this author before, this story is set in 2050, a police officer is sent to remote Scotland, was a death an accident or murder, many things have changed including the climate, can he work out what happened and why. Book 19 read this year.

It was Will's 8th birthday this week, we popped up with his gift and to share his birthday cake, most of his gifts are army related, he has wanted night vision goggles for ages and the modern uniform, we got him a body protection suit/ stab vest. 

Lilly has had her final jab and she is now chipped, so waiting a few more days and then she should get freedom in our back garden. We have booked for her to be spayed end of March, we don't want her to have kittens, her insurance is in place. The vet was very pleased with her growth and weight, last visit 3 weeks ago she was a bit smaller than expected.

I'm not sure why my hubby should ever speak to me again, I've had a thought said I, does it involve work for me says him, umm maybe says I, do you think the stair risers would look good white? So it seams he agrees, our stairs were added many years after our bungalow was built, they are solid type chipboard not natural wood, hubby is sure he can get them looking good and smooth, later we will get the steps carpeted.

It's been a hard week, my oldest brother, who has lived on his own for years, very independent, has been in hospital for almost a month, various ailments have been stabilized, he has dementia and has refused all medications, he has become angry with the lovely nursing staff. He has now been sent to a secure hospital for people with dementia, initially for 30 days, we have been told its unlikely he will leave, he is unable to care for himself and not capable to live with any of his siblings, he does not recognise any of us. Not a happy situation, the unit is good, he will get the care he needs, just feeling really sad.
