New kitchen on Monday

About eight weeks go one of our kitchen cupboards fell off the wall narrowly missing our oldest son Ben, as we realised some of the other cupboards had develped cracks around the screws,we felt that perhaps it was time to get a new kitchen. We looked around and finally settled on Deeline kitchens, a well established local company. Well anyway the new kitchen is due on Monday. We have just taken the wall cupboards off the wall, and everywhere is messy. To make matters worse our fridge stopped working last Monday and the man came today and condemned it. The new fridge won't arrive until Tuesday, so we are shopping every day. We will probably have pasta on Sunday. Sorry to ramble on, the next week or so is going to make it harder for John to do the work he has been doing towards his recovery. I am going to be busy decorating tomorrow, in preparation for the kitchen. We hve tried to put as much as we can in the cellar, so if you can remember us over the next week or so we would appeciate it.
Today John has had a mixed day. As soon as Alice came into our room she asked for a story, these stories are normally about real life things that happened to us when we were children, or when she was a baby. John tried to think of a story but his language was a struggle , we decided to play the shopping game, I went to the shop and bought a hat, each person has a turn. The amazing thing is that John beat Alice and me, he then started to recall our holidays in Somerset, he needed some prompting but it began to come back. A bit later on in the morning John helped Esther with her latin, he was delighted to find he could remember it. He came into the kitchen saying, "I will get better, I have been dong the latin!"
A bit later John tried the compublox and balancing board. Both these left him a little discouraged the his back and legs had hurt doing the balancing board an he found compublox difficult. John went with me to choose a new fridge, but he seems to become a little disorientated in shops. It is still early days, it's good to learn to live one moment at a time.
