Granny Falls at 4am and I’m off to MP
11-22am I think this will be a two part blog…I’ll edit in photos of the CCFm gathering in Mitchell’s Plain later. This just serves to record Granny taking a night time tumble. Mike sorted her out…it’s reminiscent of whose turn … Continue reading

The Only Sound Is …
2-41pm I don’t think either of us realised how stressed out we were over ‘Granny’. Unbeknown to us, she has been on our mind and in our heads most of the time. The last 24 hours have given us an … Continue reading

Emotional Rollercoaster Ride…
3-07pm The last 24 hours have been something else! Just after I posted yesterday’s blog, Mike phoned from the office. “I have some news,” he said. “Okay?” I said. “I’ve heard back from the Ladies Christian Home and they have … Continue reading
Gadding about with Granny!
3-06pm That’s what I did today. After a fun-filled Rise and Shine show – I love Thursdays with Jonathan – I came home straight after 9am, as Mavis had a Dr’s appointment. She had come early and got Granny up … Continue reading
Granny! Caught in the Act!
2-41pm Every evening, as I put Granny to bed, I re-emphasize the need for her to STAY IN BED! “Don’t get up!” I say, loudly and firmly, so she can hear me! “No, I won’t,” she says as emphatically. So … Continue reading
Granny’s in Frail Care

2-40pm It was a very late night last night. Julian arrived from Joburg after 11-30pm. I must get used to the idea. He had me book another 6 flights in the months ahead and most of the arrival flights arrive … Continue reading
Granny’s Bruising Improving
2-25pm Granny is feeling the heat today! Although she is slow and frail, her face is improving day by day… The black mark is where the skin came off and it bled a bit. Poor Granny. Amazingly resilient and uncomplaining. … Continue reading
God has not, will not, cannot forsake you when you seek Him.
3-17pm It’s been a good 24 hours. Granny’s face hasn’t swollen any further, although her right thumb is close to three time’s bigger than her left one. As I can’t get her into seeing the doctor tomorrow, I’ve made an … Continue reading
More Granny Drama…Big Decision Made…
12-32pm Getting back into work after 2 weeks of sleeping late took its toll this morning. I woke up very, very tiréd. So tempted was I to reset the alarm and go back to sleep, but if I do it … Continue reading

Slack Attack Meets Housework…
12-53 So this is my final weekday of rising late and LATE it was! I checked on Granny & gave her breakfast in bed, made coffee and headed back to bed myself. When I looked again it was 10-30am!! Back … Continue reading
