Well,pleased to report that our 2 lovely boys got together yesterday!the four of us sitting in lounge was honestly such a boost for me after recent events.Sean of course spent most of time moaning about window being open,our Nanapal put him straight though!She is remarkable,very calm,in fact all things I am not.There was plenty of banter,mostly with Sean and myself,I could see several times that Nanas boy was taking it all in and enjoying ,especially when we spoke about who was naughtiest when we were all kids(think sean and i may have won that one!)This place is clearly ran in the correct way(not a mobile in sight)Its much larger place,so i get a bit confused with finding my way around,signing in,codes for doors etc.There are a few niggles,room is small,sean has a lot of "stuff"all of which he needs to have on display.Its his particular issue,you cant see out of his window.there are 5 footie shirts hanging off curtain pole,dvds stacked 3 high on sill,cupboard door has more shirts,scarfs,shorts hung and door has to be at a particular angle.everything to the inch has to be right.I know how annoyed i get,so can only imagine what staff think!This said,he is always grateful when someone helps him and always says thankyou.Im told by staff that mr socks is always welcome to visit indoors.this is not a good idea,he being super freindly would be running everywhere.Just to make a good day better,i got off one bus in the dreaded durham straight onto next to bring me home.happy day...
