SUNRISE TO SUNSET

Yesterday was yet another lovely sunny day; a little cloud VERY early but the sun soon rose and the blue skies appeared. I could get used to this!........Mick and I just had to sit out in the garden didn't we? I'd vowed that I was going to get his nails cut first though; it took a while as it's so hard to unclench his finger so that I can get to them. Mission accomplished and having slapped plenty of this on Mick's face out we went. The forecast said it would be cooler than yesterday but I soon regretted putting Mick's fleece on him as the temperature started to soar.

I sat Mick near the pond as the frogs were really croaking away. It was so pleasant that Mick had to have this;we sat in the garden until after lunch. The fresh air seems to be suiting Mick as he has a few hours sleep when we get back inside and then about 4pm seems happy to have something to drink. At the moment I've changed dinner time for him to 6pm as after having a good drink he's not ready to eat at 5pm. It's working well as he is managing all his food but I have the added bonus of knowing that he is finally accepting some liquid.

On a sadder note; many of you will know that Dirty Butter (who has been trying so hard to find the painting of Mick) is caring for her Father. It is very difficult for her as she has Parkinson's herself. Reading her latest post (Monday 12th) it would seem that her Father is fading quite quickly. He had his 102nd birthday on Sunday 11th....(no that's not a typing error). Until I hear from her again I'm not sure what the situation is at the moment, but I hope you will all spare a thought for her at this difficult time.

It's only fitting that I end this post with a beautiful sunset.
