    Blimey, it makes such a difference when the sun is shining. Life seems just that bit easier, washing gets dried, puppys can run in and out and children are happy just to sit and chat and Alan can bask outside on the lounger.

    Alan asked me not to bring the children in to see him today as the man in the bed opposite is incredibly ill, Alan has to keep his curtains shut now as he cant bear to look at him although he can hear him wheezing and being sick :(

    Alan did not look as well today i thought, he said he did not think he had been drinking enough. When i got there he was eating a veggie cottage pie but when i got home he texted to say he…
