We brought the rest of Corey's stuff from uni yesterday. Of course when we got home he remembered he'd left all his cutlery and plates behind. He could go back I guess but by the end of term he only had 1 big and 2 side plates left and the cutlery was just a very cheap set, so he's leaving them. Though if other students do the same he may find some left behind when he goes for his flat cleaning job next week.

Nanna was getting her extra stair rails fitted today, so hopefully she'll be able to get up the stairs on her own again. I don't mind going up to help her to bed every night but obviously it's better if she has that independence, plus, when James is at work it means my uncle has a 30 minute trip to take over, which obviously isn't ideal.

It's been a beautiful day today. I've got things done in the house, tidied the garden a little, dried two loads of washing on the line and now it's time for bath and a book. Then later, when the sun is lower, I'll go and water and feed all the plants.

GoT. What an amazing episode that last ep was. But now I have worries about the last one and how they'll end this season.

I got a h/c bingo card! Yes, I suck at filling them. Yes, I never actually post any fills to the comm that I do write. But I'm a sucker for that community and suspect I'll dabble in The Musketeers again and maybe if inspiration strikes, some bandom.

I know students often leave a ton of stuff behind in halls because they just can't carry it home, so there's a fair chance.

Fingers crossed the new stair rails do the trick

I can easily imagine that. We barely got all of Corey's stuff in the car, and that was with him already taking a lot of stuff home earlier. It's amazing just how much he's managed to obtain over the year.

I really hope that they do, for nanna's sake more than anything.

It's amazing what things you AMASS when you're at university. It's mind boggling. Senior year I had to roll up a twin mattress with a bungee cord and slide it into the car's backseat just to transport it.

I hope the stair rails help

also, H/C BINGO....I feel like I NEED a card...maybe I'll write a little that way.. Maybe, I'll take prompts and fail at that.

Whenever I've moved, I end up O_O at the amount of stuff I can accumulate (after regular things like clothing and books).

Yays for the rails' installation at your nanna's. Having independence and mobility are things that become crucial when people are elderly. It'll be a great relief to you and your uncle as well, of course.

It was gorgeously overcast and rainy in my corner of the world for about two days. Now it's back to hellishly sunny and humid. :|

GoT knocked it OUT of the park with episode 9 in an already great season. I'm not worried or angsty about the season finale. My one hope is that we get the completion of the Tower of Joy scene!

I can imagine Corey'll find lots of useful stuff people haven't bothered to take with them.

I'm keeping everything crossed your nanna's extra stair rails will be just the thing she needs.

Yesterday it rained but today's been sunny and warm here too. I spent the afternoon knitting on the balcony while Lancecat snoozed. It was marvelous!

*giggles* You and bingo cards is like sperrywink and Holiday challenges, you just can't say no :-)

It amazes me what some people leave behind in the uni halls. It seems a lot of the overseas students find it cheaper to buy stuff to live with here, then just leave it behind instead of paying to ship things back home.

Nanna's rails do help but we're still having to go up on a night and take her to bed. Though I do think an end may be in sight about that as nanna has agreed to go out for a ride and something to eat tomorrow, so hopefully that means she's feeling stronger.

Bingo cards, I just can't say no to the things!

Thankfully I've only moved once, and that was enough. Considering that was 20 years ago now, the house is stuffed with stuff.

Yeah, I always think of you when I'm complaining about the heat. I can't imagine living like you do with heat all the time.

GoT was so good this season. I'm just thankful Sansa didn't go against Jon, I was worried about that for a while.
