The joys.

My mum has been in rest home care now since November and her health is declining. I last saw her in February. I'm a couple of plane flights away from her and not sure if/when I will see her next.

Chat with Dad every 2-3 days to check in on his wellbeing. He's doing OK and as expected given what's happening with my mum.

Sounds like at least you could suss where your mums head was at (or not) so you know how to deal with those requests in the future.

 Sp> On the flip side, we've been able to get the garage reno moving.  Roller
 Sp> door out, Aluminium doors and windows in.  Shade sail in place.  Got a
 Sp> timber delivery for partitions today, so the next few days will be
 Sp> interesting and busy, banging frame together, figuring out how to get
 Sp> some of the complete partitions upright in the space which is going to
 Sp> be more limited than I thought.

For us it's been a leaking goldfish pond that has been causing us issues for some years. We tried a few options to seal up the hidden leak, nothing was working. But this year it's got a few coats of swimming pool paint and that seems to have fixed it. Next up (this weekend) the Lilly plants go back in and some liquid nails will be used to stick a few stones around the edge of the pond back in place. I hope the weather holds.

 Sp> On other fronts the ship is pretty much steady as she goes.  Getting
 Sp> ready for Grand Kids for Easter.

I think we have some coming over on Friday.. :)
