What a week

 Nursery photo's are online to choose a image of George, I love this one, it shows his fun, he is a cheeky happy little boy. I love how he plays, he is very inclusive with baby Molly and follows anything Will is doing, typical middle brother, loves music and cars. 

I found some reading time, this is the latest DCI Roy Grace book, set in and around Brighton, this is my 42nd book read this year, I have not read as many books as last year, it is nice to be out doing things again. The 1st book has been shown on TV with John Simms playing the lead role, I enjoyed watching it and hope they make more. This story line was brilliant, he kept you way into the story before he revealed important information.  

So our TV in the sitting room (it's the only TV we have) switched on looking like this on Tuesday evening, we checked everything, the TV is broken, so off we go to purchase another, this is 40 inches, we wanted the same size, 'why so small' asked the man in the shop, WHAT to me it's so big. So new TV and sound box, because our perfectly good sound box won't work on newer TV's.

I finally decided to get some buttons for my lovely cardi I knitted last year, I did not wear it last winter as we did not go out much. I like these simple buttons. 

I am livid, in 2 places on the button band the yarn has been chewed, Purdy our cat brought a mouse into the house and our bedroom, it was a while ago, hubby caught it and released it outside. I had found a couple things chewed in my wardrobe, this was stored in the same area. I am now unpicking the button band, which was knitted in one piece, in hope I have enough yarn to redo the band. I'm not happy. 

Hubby was away last weekend with a few motorbike friends, one messaged on Wednesday, he's positive for Covid, hubby tested negative that evening. We both had another test this morning, both negative, phew that was close. 

The past few of weeks I have spent loads of time at youngest daughters house, I have various sleep overs, which are fun but tiring, I will do everything I can to support my daughter, I get the bonus of being with her 3 young children, Molly's 1st year is much harder for her as George is not walking, so she has 2 in pushchairs and nappies. With Will and George she struggled to get pregnant, Molly she became pregnant much sooner than expected, I keep telling her by next summer things will improve. George want's now to be more independent, he wants to sit at the table and feed himself, which is really messy, but so good to see him improving, his signing is very good, he can ask for many things, including what he wants to watch on TV, he is making a good range of sounds and a few simple words, everyone is expecting him to speak when he is ready. George will now walk around the furniture, and will walk if you hold him up, daughter has been advised not to push him on his walking, his lower body strength is not great, he will walk, but he crawls on hands and feet, his knees don't touch the floor (a bit like big apes), and he is very quick. Will is loving school, which is good, most morning he will happily get dressed, have breakfast and go to school, he has not missed any days due to his operation, which happened in half term, his stitches are still showing, they will eventually fall out, he has no problems and the swelling is almost gone.  

We were in a shop this week and bloody Christmas songs was loudly playing, I muttered to hubby and a stranger walking past agreed, if they start to early we will become bored with them way before the big day. At home I never start playing them until 1st December, same with decorations, they come out on the same day.
