It's been a funny old week.


All will be explained in a moment.   The weekend before last my husband collapsed at home and I had to call an ambulance.   It transpired that he had double pneumonia and has been in hospital ever since.   He is making good progress and looks a little better each time I see him.

Yesterday our son took the above in to him - his escape kit!  In case it isn't clear, he hid a file in a half eaten chocolate croissant and provided a pass with false identity!   The file was totally embedded in the croissant but I pulled some out so you could see what it was.

We both have nothing but gratitude and praise for the hospital staff and their level of care, but he is still champing at the bit to come home, though I think he will be in there for a few more days.   Maybe they will let him home this coming weekend by which time I hope the weather will have warmed up a bit.

I must get my nurse's outfit out of mothballs and find a big stick for discipline as he is bound to try doing all the things he shouldn't.  I shall call for back-up if he doesn't listen to me!

That's right Heather - you must be in command and not let him do anything for a few weeks - just make a fuss of him and feed him good food.

I hope your husband and the weather improve very quickly. We are having a heat wave in our first week of autumn, it's hotter than it was in summer.

Hope all progresses well.

What a shock for you both, I hope your husband's recovery is a speedy one and he comes home very soon, with or without the aid of his escape kit 😄

Oh my goodness! How awful for you both. I'm glad he's improving and I hope you can sit on him when he gets home if he gets too ambitious. Look after both of you xxx

Let's hope he is back home and better very soon. Remember to look after yourself too!

Thank you everyone, for your kind wishes. I am being very sensible as last week really shattered me. This week I am even doing housework! Dick is not the most patient of patients but is putting a brave face on his incarceration but might have to keep doing so for a bit longer.

I love the escape kit - how clever! Here's hoping the mister recovers quickly!
