Nana on call

Just another view of my side bed, so full of blue, the camassia blooms whilst pretty don't last too long, there are two yellow rose bushes just about showing, and loads of other plants starting to regrow. 

 George has new glasses which he is now wears all the time, his first pair was a specific design to help children cope with wearing glasses for the first time and rather expensive. These are a standard design, he is very happy with them.


Daughter called me at 5.30am on Friday to come and sit with boys whilst Molly was checked out at A&E, at first they tested for sepsis, thankfully it was negative, she has not been well for a couple of days, it was confirmed it was a severe reaction, no way of knowing to what. This photo was taken late afternoon when the rash was settling, the earlier photo is too horrible to post.




I've spent days at daughters house, Thursday morning looking after the children whilst daughter and hubby took a trip to IKEA, Will now has his new bedroom, hubby got a few small bits for us, I got the better part of the deal. In the evening I went to WI, it was a relaxing music evening, which was well attended.

Friday I was out early, both boys were still in bed, so first hour was very quiet, George and I had a couple hours together. Once home Molly was very subdued she listened to her favourite music most of the day, she is still unwell. I had planned a sleepover which helped daughter as they were all tired.

Saturday was an early start, George woke at 6.50am, we snuggled on the sofa for an hour, Molly looked better, but is still unwell, she is not eating much which probably helps her, I really hate to see any of them sick. I stayed until mid afternoon, it was a lazy time, loads of cuddles. Back home I did nothing just rested, we both had an early night.

Today we woke up to cloudy blue skies, it blew like mad last night and lots of rain, the wind died back a bit, it was warmer than previous days, but still cool, daughter is due to visit, they had not been out in days, George had been poorly before Molly. We did consider a BBQ, but decided best to wait a bit longer, doing the children's favourite food for lunch

  1. Aww poor Molly, it's not nice seeing children feeling ill, hope she starts to feel better soon. Was really windy here again yesterday, our awning survived though so that's good

  2. Poor Molly! It's not nice to see them poorly. Two of my granddaughters who are sisters both had scarlet fever 3 weeks ago & no sooner had it gone when they were both struck down with chicken pox! I hope Molly recovers soon.

  6. It's always concerning when little ones are unwell ...
    I hope Molly is feeling a little better now.
    I like George's new glasses.
    I'm sure Will is pleased with his new bedroom furniture.

    The wind has been blowing today hasn't it!
    May the new week ahead go well.

    All the best Jan

  9. Oh no! Thank goodness Molly is okay. She must have given you quite the scare.
    And George looks fab in his new glasses. I've always fancied a green pair myself. Xx

  10. How lovely for the family that you can be on call - my parents lived 6 hours drive away... too far... I really missed them.
    Glad to hear the children are on the mend.

  12. You must have been so relieved that it wasn't sepsis. Poor little mite, I do hope she's feeling much better now. George's glasses look very grown up. Where on earth do the years go.
