Remaking routines

The major business is now over, a great service very well attended and even praise for its structure and a meal locally for just immediate family in the classic interwar ribbon development of the Northern suburbs.

Finding routines when both routines that had been around for a long while were of necessity interrupted and now have little reason such as going upstairs which was pretty much a response to evenings that tended to be soap operas on tv such as East Enders, Coronation Street with their often heated emotions and medical dramas such as Holby City are now just not watched.

On the other hand so far in The Grump, is tending in the main to be upstairs until it's time for a drink a half hour before bed meaning in effect I have the full run of the living room to read, listen to something on the Hifi downstairs or play a dvd most nights.

Indeed as the Hifi goes it's been used more in the last four weeks more than much of last year cos most of time Mum watched tv so given she was spread across the couch by it you couldn't sit by it operating the controls and listen with headphones even.

That means I've spent less time in my room although I did get this which might help with seeing to read comics or colouring.

The goose neck is flexible so you angle just where you need the most light and the bulb is is one them continental imposters, the Edison Screw rather than a bayonet that needs less turn to lock in.

There is a bit more space in the dining room which by stealth I'm working on removing odd bits of stuff that built up which should make having a surface I can use for  a few ours  playing with lego easier than it used to be or for putting colouring books on as you need space for bricks or your many pencils while using them.

Meals are being simplified a little, in truth sometimes running three separate ones was a challenge with timings, taking stuff out and all that while dad and my tastes while not all the same are fairly close when it comes to rice dishes and meat from the local independent butcher.

It's taking a bit of time but new routines are being made.
