turpsI got to see my brother's new house yesterday. It's very smart and he gave me the grand tour where I was very jealous of the garage you could access from the kitchen. His house is literally in the middle of the walk between my house and Kayleigh's. It takes about twenty minutes to walk to Kayleigh's from mine, and Chris' is halfway along the route, actually passing his house on the way. Of course, he's at work a lot of the time but it's nice to know I can easily get there on foot.
His new kitchen fitting business is up and running and he has a new van but he's still not resigned from his full-time job so has very little spare time right now with his main work and doing fittings at night and the weekends. His plan is to resign once he finishes a big fitting job which will leave him with a good profit. But I can imagine it has to be very nerve-wracking to leave his job and become his own boss.
He's coming to mine this week to bring samples and get things moving to do our kitchen refit. Keep your fingers crossed for us he does give that bro discount because I really doubt we could afford the kitchens he supplies normally.
We also went to visit my MiL in the hospital yesterday. She's doing okay but is still on the cardiac ward relying on oxygen. I do wonder if she knows more than she's letting on as she seems resigned to not getting out any time soon. She needs an op on her heart really but they're very reluctant because of her weight, but she briefly mentioned the doctors are thinking of some way to do it without needing a GA so I guess it's a waiting game.
I've enjoyed watching Glastonbury over the weekend. Years and Years had a good set, and amazing dancers, I enjoyed Pet Shop Boys, but surprisingly I really liked Paul McCartney. His set did flag at times, especially when he was singing songs that weren't well known, but when Dave Grohl and then Bruce Springsteen came onstage as surprise guests it was just, wow.
Mam died four years ago today. Shauna, Kayleigh's previous long-term girlfriend who pretty much kept us all together over those horrendous first few weeks, messaged and my MiL phoned and it's nice people remember. Kayleigh and Bodhi are coming over later and we're trying to pin down a sibs dinner soon but four years, man. It's hard to believe. As you long-time flist people know, her relationship with us wasn't the best at times but I'd still do anything to be able to wander up to her house or pick up the phone and know she'll be there to listen to my worries.
