Last night the big parasol broke, one the arms snapped at the pivot point.
I was going to dump it (over 10yrs old)
But I looked at the break and had an idea.
I had some aluminium tubing left over from the veg netting frames, so I bashed it into a rhomboid shape. it fitted into the hollow arm perfectly.
A couple of rivets and a long bolt from the bits box and it is fine again.
Wife has a procedure in Derriford on Friday morning @7:30AM.
So we have booked a hotel close to the hospital.
Also booked a meal at a restaurant that night.
Turns out that Thursday is their "Trust the chef" night, the menu is an invention with what fresh ingredients they have that night.
An adventure.
Wife is home from hospital, safe, and asleep.
Sleep is hard to come by in a busy ward.
The last 12 months has been exhausting.
Too many ambulance trips, too many 3AM journeys home after hours spent in A&E.
Too many hour long drives to visit hospital wards.
Hopefully there is light at the end of the tunnel.
Not often this happens!
