A Taste of Aggro Part 1

If I were two-faced,would I be wearing this one? - Abraham Lincoln
After going to bed late last night...
 I had a much needed lie-in...
We enjoyed cuddles and tea in bed..
Back off to sleep a bit more..
Then it was up up up↗↗↗
Washing machine, dish-washer and tumble drier on...
Getting some housework done...
 While I am doing that, my hubby goes and gets and delivers my dad's newspaper.
When he comes back, he is all upset.
He says,"Your dad is looking like death."
I get in touch with my younger brother who was working and will try to pop in to see our dad. Hubby goes back round to see my dad again. Younger brother turns up, and both he and my dad talk my hubby out of phoning the 111 service to get a doctor to look at him.
My younger brother tells phones me to give me a lecture on what NOT to say to my dad because he doesn't want to see him upset.
I put the phone down on him in mid word.
He is starting to turn out to be an Arsehole like my other brother(who I don't speak to!)
Back to doing the housework....
Hubby comes back. He will phone the Doctor's surgery tomorrow and book a home visit for the doctor to come out.
I am guess the dreaded Pneumonia is coming back.
(He nearly died from that in April)
The chicken goes in the oven.
