Poor Dad ...

... I feel quite sorry for him but it has to be done! His home is disappearing around him. This afternoon the 5 wardrobes went and this evening his TV/HiFi unit has gone. He's got one bedroom that is now empty (apart from the stuff that's no longer wanted), one that is collecting packed boxes for the move and the one he's using. He's also now got a big hole where the TV/Hifi unit was 'cos that went just under an hour ago. Mind you it looked odd from earlier in the week 'cos all his records disappeared to a new home on Wednesday - around 300 of 'em! His cooker and washing machine found new homes last week and his dining table will be going soon as well. It's been bid up on eBay *LOL* It sounds awful but he should be so much cosier in his new one bedroom flat. He likes the 'compactness' of respite - everything in one room really so he doesn't have to walk too far. His mobility is really bad and he can't climb stairs so the fact he will be on one level is a bonus and there'll be no stair lift to have dealt with if it breaks down. He's stuffed if that were to happen where he is 'cos his toilet facilities are upstairs. It won't be an issue in the flat so I know he will be better off. I just feel awful with his possessions disappearing in front of his eyes but, as long as he's got his TV he's happy.

Whether the microwave problem has been solved we won't know for a few days. Swapped his with youngest son's today as he had a manual and wanted a digital. Got to wait now to see if Dad can understand turning the dial to the correct number - as long as it's not past 10 minutes because the oven jumps from 10 to 20 minutes with no real guide between. He could divide the time in 2 and do it in 2 hits if it does but not sure he'll understand that. Oh well, time will tell .....

Thanks for dropping by .....
