AND

On Friday we had warnings for heavy rain, thunderstorms and strong wind but in the morning there was a lull in the storm so I took the opportunity to get some fresh air and walk down to get Doug's antibiotics.  Unfortunately, they didn't agree with him so he only took 2 and then stopped.  He says it doesn't feel as though there is an infection in the wound and the nurse was of two minds whether to prescribe antibiotics or not.  

The sling didn't last long and, of course, he has still been doing work but has been holding the hand raised in between jobs.  We got everything ready including the plinth for the machine to sit on.  The washing machine and new freezer were delivered just after lunch on Saturday but the delivery man who also set the washing machine up suggested it would be better not to use the plinth even though it was the Salesman who suggested it.  Anyway, I am very happy with the new machine and did two loads yesterday and another today.  I had a front loader previously but as I moved into Doug's house when we married I just used the machine he already had.

It was only today that Doug showed me the glove he was wearing when he had the accident with the drop saw.  It could have been a whole lot worse.  goes back to see the nurse tomorrow to get it checked.

The almost finished laundry.  The deep freeze was the only upright one that would fit under the cupboards.

Youngest daughter came to lunch today and brought me these lovely chrysanthemums for Mother's Day.
