Good days and great days

Some days are good days and some days are better, today was a good day.

Not much action from the hospital side, tests taken – no results and Russ, having been sedated, slept the afternoon away.

We have been practicing our German – so far we have; please and thank you, and every part of the day covered (good morning to good night), beer, large coffee, toilet, Russ has 1-10 sorted and I use my fingers!

A visit to the supermarket to stock up on treats and fatten Russ up! And a MCDonalds coffee were the highlights of the day!

Boris (Russ’s roomy) thought he should go home today and sat on his bed, dressed with bag packed from 8am and was still there when I left at 12.30. When I returned at 3.30, he was in his Jammies back in bed! I guess he didn’t win that one.

Helga (the evening nurse who speaks very little English) brought Russell all the left over tomatoes tonight – he is getting them trained!

So our day has been about as eventful as this upside down flowerpot….German innovation as an ashtray space!

And the warm drizzly weather is making us all sleepy, maybe and early night, not watching TV (all in German) is in order.

Thanks to everyone who is keeping in touch and giving me someone to talk to!!!’
