turpsTony Hart died. Woe. He was such a big part of my childhood.
Man, do I love freecycle. We've been sleeping on a mattress on the floor for a long time now, and then a few weeks ago James put out a want on freecycle and a lady replied saying she had a king size bed we could have, but we'd have to wait until her daughter left for university. We got the bed yesterday, and it is so good. It's actually a super kingsize, and it's airsprung with one those attached mattress topper things that make it extra soft and comfy. Sleeping last night was like being cradled by a cloud.
Something that may also be good. We got a letter stating the hotel where the whole toilet falling off the wall disaster happened is offering to pay for private physio if James wants it. Obviously I'm no expert, but I'm hoping that it's a sign that they may be accepting responsibility. So, fingers crossed, that's going in the right direction.
More freecycle stuff. Today a lady came to pick up a solid plastic dog bed we didn't need. She has a rescue greyhound who gets nightmares and becomes incontinent during them, so they've been after a large bed like that for a while. She sent such a lovely email, saying the dog loves the bed and was sending tail wags in thanks.
We also took Tex to a nearby nature reserve, and went for a short walk before doing the whole Sunday relative visiting thing. So yeah, it's been a good day :)
Finally. You guys are all awesome. Every single one of you
