Glass Cabinet and Bears

Last Sunday, during the Great Clear Out of Stella's house, Lindsey and I managed to get Stella's glass cabinet into the back of Lindsey's car. The cabinet has been in the dining room in the Mount Martha House, filled (mostly) with teddy bears and other soft toys. It was one of the things that Stella had specifically asked to have brought to her new place in Mount Clear. We filled it with blankets and towels and other soft things we thought might be useful at Hill House, for Christmases and other times when lots of people come to stay.

We managed to get it, intact, to my place, where it has spent the last week holidaying in my garage.

Yesterday, Lindsey and I went to the Zoo Drive market, then the Mushroom Farm, followed by a rare trip out to the Elaine Farmgate Shop. We don't go out there very much any more. It's a bit of a trek and we can get pretty much all of the stuff they sell at the markets, Mushroom Farm and Wilson's in town. But they do sell remarkably good lamb and Lindsey wanted some.

Then we had an online Japanese lesson, and then we manoeuvred the glass cabinet back into Lindsey's car and took it to Stella's place, along with two boxes of her bears.

It is now set up by the door to her room and looks really good:

We were *SO* relieved to get the cabinet
into Stella's room without breaking it!!!

Her room looks good. Very cosy. Very Stella-like. She seems to be enjoying life in there - she certainly enjoys the cups of tea and little snacks that are delivered to her throughout the day!

We went to visit Jim after we had set up the bear cabinet. He seemed well and happy. He was pleased to see Lindsey. She doesn't get in to see him all that often and he does enjoy having visitors. For ten or fifteen minutes 😉

I took Stella to see her GP on Friday morning. It was absolutely chucking it down when we got there and we got all soggy wet! Fortunately it had dried up a bit by the time we left. The GP is very pleased with Stella and said she should eat, drink and do whatever she fancied (within reasonable limits; no skydiving, for instance)  to keep making life happy and interesting.

So we went to the cafe in Mount Clear for lunch:

That is alleged to be a steak sandwich.
There is a piece of steak under all
the trimmings!
Stella did a mighty job of eating it

Rupert and Hugo have not been told to eat, drink and do whatever they please. So Rupert took a great deal of time to eat his dental chew:
