Anyway, after the most stressful week we have experienced together, nothing as dramatic as could have been, but a very strange week anyway, I decided to bake! The original Pat's Kitchen was all about food and there has been none of that since I started blogging again, So you have Fat Rascals to look forward to now. And I must say, not only are they delicious, but really and truly easy to make!
So first, what happened to our family over the past 9 days? My mother in law fell and broke 3 or 4 ribs on the day our daughter was due to give birth but didn't! Mum went into hospital where she still is. She has also developed HypoDelirium and Pneumonia. One day she looks absolutely awful, the next day she is a bit brighter. Then back to awful, then a bit brighter than the previous brighter day. I am delighted they are keeping her in hospital until she seems to be more improved.
This impacts us on two fronts, visiting Mum since visiting hours are extended to all day now and she would notice if we did not come. And we can stay so much longer than when they were shorter and only twice a day. And we have to bring my father in law plus make sure he is ok in general , and also get him to come to our house to have a change of scenery and a good dinner.
Daughter.... still pregnant 9 days after due date! Last night, after watching the last episode of the current series of Call the Midwife, we truly thought this is the night. I even sleep in sweat suits now in order to jump out of bed immeidatiley.
There have been the most amazing named storms, and some not named here in Scotland. We are used to this and keep it in our stride. After living in Florida 10 years, I do laugh at how I thoroughly discount gale force winds, flooding and heavy rain here. We just do storms differently. And there is a difference between sustained winds like they get in a hurricane and wind gusts which we get here.
