Well yesterday really was an early start. We needed to be at the new house by 8am. To be honest, I think it would have been better to have stayed there and slept on a box. The removers are finishing off today and until they do the beds are in pieces and some boxes haven\u2019t arrived. Anyway, where we are staying is almost an hour away, which meant we needed to leave at 7am. Mum set the alarm for 6am but couldn\u2019t sleep. She was awake by 4 and up at half past. \u2018You\u2019re kidding me,\u2019 I said as she started to get things done. I stayed in bed until absolutely the last opportunity but even then I had to get up at 5.30am. The expression \u2018Let sleeping dogs lie\u2019 was coined for good reason, and someone needs to explain that to Mum.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I confess, it was worth it. I did have to sit in the car for some of the morning, while the removal men finished. After that I began to have the opportunity to explore. Oh boy, did I enjoy myself. I\u2019ve started to find my favourite sunny spots already. Mum had to call me to come in at one point as I\u2019d disappeared for a while and she was starting to worry. She should have known I\u2019d be in the orchard. She seems quite certain I\u2019ll be up to mischief, which in a way I was.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I may be taking some of being good too far. I\u2019ve let mum put the gel in my eyes for the last two days. I think my eyes are starting to improve as a result. Mum\u2019s finding the gel much easier to do than the drops were. She needs to be reminded of that in future if I need them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Love<\/p>\n\n\n\n

An early start was not appreciated by Wilma – she thinks Mum should heed the motto ‘Let sleeping dogs lie’. It was worth though – she has to admit that.<\/p>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":23983,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"gallery","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[3],"tags":[93],"class_list":["post-23982","post","type-post","status-publish","format-gallery","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-day-to-day-life","tag-wilma","post_format-post-format-gallery"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/alfiesdiary.uk\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/23982","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/alfiesdiary.uk\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/alfiesdiary.uk\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/alfiesdiary.uk\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/alfiesdiary.uk\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=23982"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/alfiesdiary.uk\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/23982\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/alfiesdiary.uk\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/23983"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/alfiesdiary.uk\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=23982"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/alfiesdiary.uk\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=23982"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/alfiesdiary.uk\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=23982"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
