turpsThe gathering went well on Wednesday. We talked about dad, laughed a lot -- especially when the firework Pauline had selected to set off was done too close to the bungalow, meaning people watching had to scatter everywhere while obscured by clouds of smoke. I planted a butterfly bush with my brother, while the grandchildren planted another and we all released balloons. It was nice and very fitting. Though if dad had seen the firework he'd have been very disproving.
We drove Corey back to Newcastle after as he had classes the next morning, and then came home to catch up on the final episode of Bake Off. I'm going to miss that show. No way will it be the same after the move.
James went for a wheelchair assessment on Thursday as the one he has now is well past its best. The new one he's getting is very nifty, and much lighter than the one he has now, which will make hauling it into the boot of the car much easier.
Unfortunately he's off work with a nasty kidney infection at the moment. At one point he was close to being admitted to hospital for IV antibiotics, but thankfully that danger seems to be past so it's a case of resting up and being constantly harassed to drink. Which I feel is justified as he's spent the last five weeks telling me I need to drink more.
Good news for him. James was supposed to work all over Christmas and new year, but they try to shuffle shifts so everyone gets one day off, and he's ended up with Christmas day \o/ He's on day shift Christmas eve and Boxing day, but will be home by half five, so that's no issue. And on night shift New Years eve, meaning I'll be spending that alone, which again, no issue as I don't rate new year anyway. It was Christmas Day we always wanted, and he got it.
I joined bandom holidays and have an assignment that I really like. It's been a long time since I've been in an exchange so I'm a bit nervous, but I have an idea that I think will work, so hopefully all will be good.
I'm nearly finished the Cainsville series and still no threesome, damn them! I looked and there's 3 Cainsville stories at AO3, including two threesomes. I've got them tabbed to read later tonight. I really hope I won't be disappointed.

Revenge is sweet!
That's excellent news about the holidays. (And I completely agree with you, New Year's is totally overrated!)

Date: 2016-11-20 07:31 pm (UTC)Like I was telling you, James has been back in his wheelchair lately and it's very apparent his is past it. The new one will be so much better, especially with the removable wheels.
I'm so happy he's got Christmas Day off. It's been a long time since he's had the whole day. And yeah, New Year is completely overrated!

Date: 2016-11-20 07:28 pm (UTC)I'll be pleased when James' new chair arrives. He's been back in his old one lately and it's showing its age badly.
But, getting Christmas day off is awesome! It's the first time he's had the full day for a really long time.
