Yawn yawn, wakey wakey autumn 2017

Aloha everyone,

Another busy week this week. Apart from the usual frantic things to be done during the week we have Mrs Shiney's brother staying with us (lives in Brazil).

Sadly, we've also had two more people (one friend, one relative) pop their clogs this week

It seems as though it may be getting dangerous to know me!

Keep well and have a great day

Aloha!

 

@BeeHappy welcome to another day in Paradise

 

Aloha everyone,

The wind is picking up but the sun is coming out Lots of bees on the Verbena B. The strong wind doesn't seem to affect their ability to buzz straight off to the next flower.

Mrs Shiney's brother, who now lives in Brazil, is visiting. I've had to get a form signed for him to tell the DWP that he's still alive so that he can continue to receive his pension.

I've been in touch with the county disability dept. and they are now going to visit Barry to see about putting a wet room in. It has only taken a month to get to this stage, so not too bad.

Keep well and have a great day

Aloha!

 

Good morning @shiney and all my other friends have a good day

ps I can see no positive reason to report on the weather here in Kent so I shall refrain from doing so

 

@wiseowl I'll try and send you some of our brilliant sunshine.

 

@CanadianLori Barry is partially disabled and, at present, has a special bath with low sides so that he can get in and out of it easier. Unfortunately he can no longer steady himself sufficiently so that he can lift a leg high enough without being in danger of falling over. So a shower is needed. All normal showers have lips or steps to get in so he needs to have one without any form of barrier at all. So he needs a walk-in shower that has no lips and is, essentially, part of the bathroom floor with a drain made in the floor. Over here this is called a wet room. There is a glass/plastic wall to stop the water pouring everywhere and he just has to walk round the wall. A seat is usually an integral part of the shower in these cases.

This is one type


and another


His room is smaller and they are more likely to have the walls of plastic and not posh tiles.

Re getting your machine etc. out of the house. Can't you stop some nice hefty man in the street and ask him to do it for you?
