So I fell off the radar again over the past few weeks... Everything seemed to just happen all at once. Firstly with the water leak (all sorted now), then my parents went on holiday so I was dog sitting. Then that same week it all went wrong... my sister-in-law fell ill (not covid just a sickness bug brought home from my nephew's nursery) so I spent time helping her with my nephew as my brother was working away. Then my granny had a fall and ended up in the hospital and as my parents were away it was down to me to liaise with the hospital. Thankfully she's all fine now with no broken bones, they just kept her in for a week due to a severe UTI. Then my nephew fell ill and ended up at the GP and A&E a few times. 

Thakfully everything seems to have calmed down now (finger crossed) and I actually spent the last week on annual leave from work. I spent a lot of it resting after the hectic few weeks I've had. But I also went to Edinburgh for a day and visited a few bookshops, picking up a few books. I also went to a local nature reserve with my sister-in-law and nephew which was really fun. My nephew loved seeing all the ducks and chickens.
