Altruistic August Day 2: I haven’t heard from my oldest friend in a few days so I sent her a message today. She has a lot of health problems so I hope she’s okay. Today was a strange one. The second roofer was due at 9am, to give us a quote, so I had to get up a little earlier than usual. He turned up 50 minutes late…and did not offer an explanation, or apology. 🤷🏻‍♀️ By the time he’d gone, and I’d hung the washing on the airer and put the clean stuff away, I didn’t have time to do the housework. Instead of giving myself a hard time, I decided I’ll catch up on Saturday. As it’s my scan in the afternoon, I thought this would stop me from ‘wasting’ the morning, waiting for my appointment. I did manage to do a couple of bits ‘n’ bobs though, including pre-making soup for tonight’s tea. I went to my dad’s this afternoon and my brother was there. I don’t think he stopped talking. I’m pretty sure I didn’t even get to ask dad if he was okay. My brother doesn’t allow for conversations to happen. He just talks at you, over you, around you. I was overwhelmed by it all and it left me feeling sad that me and dad hadn’t really chatted, like we normally do. Tonight, I settled down to do some of my jigsaw and who should come trotting downstairs…?! 😻 She didn’t like that I caught her in the act and went to sit on the window cushion. Lee ‘helped’ (ie took over) and kept reaching in front of me to get pieces. We’ve spoken about this before so he left the room to sort our lunch bags. 😆 That made me feel bad so I let him fit the last piece. That’s the vegan jigsaw equivalent of giving him my last Rolo. 😂 I can pass it onto dad now.
