Hi,
Well, she's home, but very immobile, with difficulty moving from power-chair to bed, or power-chair to arm-chair, and returns. On the other hand, while in hospital, she was introduced to some garment that obviates the need to answer "calls of nature".
I have not investigated too deeply yet, but suspect it might be related to something similar advertised on TV. Er ... I have not mentioned this to you, you understand, but I feel this is ta giant step for mankind, that everybody should know about.
At one point in time, yesterday, we must have had about ten assorted ladies, in various uniforms, wandering round the bungalow, performing mystic rites. I have no idea what they were doing, but Wilkie was in seventh heaven.
Something else I have learned ... 4" diameter plastic wheels are not very good when wheeling heavy trolleys over carpet. Luckily, almost as soon as we moved into this bungalow, we had a leak (£15,000, covered by insurance) which meant replacing carpet
and floor in lounge/diner and hall. I can't remember what was on the kitchen floor, but it meant ripping out the entire kitchen, units and all. The bathroom was/is totally waterproof up to skirting level. I guess we can live with re-covering our bedroom and my study floors, to match the rest. I'm working towards persuading Barbara that we need a set of bunk beds in my study, casual visitors for the use of, and maybe a small caravan in the side garden ... which now has two metre high fencing on three sides, and the bungalow on the fourth. Remind me to investigate PERMITTED DEVELOPMENT ... which I think allows a caravan for either 14, or 28 days per year. I can't remember if there is a sting in the tail. Anybody?

PS. A little memory has returned. Land can be used for any purpose. for 28 days in a year, EXCEPT, motor racing, a caravan site, clay pidgeon shooting, and an open air market ... which are restricted to 14 days in a year. ... I think.
However, my daughter, also Milton Keynes, is
specifically permitted to keep a caravan (my granddaughter's den) in the front garden, but nobody may sleep in it. I must check MY deeds.
