Coming out of hospital

is something I fear Middle Cat should not have done. My BIL collected her yesterday but one look at her suggested she would have been better off staying there.

Yes, they were prepared to keep her there or let her go home. It was her choice and I can understand her wish to be home after four weeks but she has to be able to look after herself at least somewhat. I need to be here because of issues to deal with the sale of the house. Yes, she can call me and I can head off in the current rainy and slightly stormy conditions but only after rearranging other things and delaying matters even more. 

At this hour I imagine she is still in bed and likely to be there for some time. There will no doubt be at least one of her two cats keeping her company. That's something I suppose. Still, it is disturbing. 

My very good friend S... was here when my BIL came to finish one small job on their way home. Middle Cat did not have the energy to do more than walk inside (out of the heat) and sit on a chair to wait. I will be forever grateful to S... for the amount of help she has given me in the past few weeks. My thoughts are now turning towards what I can make for her. She loves snuggly scarves and cowls and I have something in mind for the yarn, a mohair and silk mix, but I want the design to be special. It is giving me considerable pleasure to think about it in between all the problems yet to be faced. Yes, I will get to work on it with equal pleasure in the making.

The executor company is continuing to make problems. While the price we get for the house may be higher the "valuation" of this property has come in far lower than it should have. Realistically it is nothing more than the land value. They are arguing the market value will be higher but, realistically, the valuation does affect the price. It suggests again that they are acting in their interests rather than ours but in such a way that we will have no means of challenging it. I just want all of this to be over now.
