Pink

Yesterday I painted the front room- to cover up the damage the electrician did. It used to be pink; now it is pinker. 

Dear Diary,

We were going to take my father-in-law to the wheelchair centre this morning, but when we got to the house he wasn't up to it. I helped myself to a little of his compost so I could pot up some herb seeds we'd been sent as a "free gift".

In the afternoon Ailz went with Odi for a doctor's appointment (minor surgery) while I stayed with the children.  I confiscated a pen from Fabi after he'd repeatedly scribbled on the furniture and he spent the rest of our time together kicking the washing machine and yowling.
