Farewell Mr Chester

It was the day of the ‘return’. We took Chester back home this afternoon after a week of great company and wonderful walks. I think he enjoyed his holiday with us, mind you, and he certainly liked to keep me company. So we bade him a fond farewell until the next time….

Other than a trip over to Sutton to return the dog, we’ve fairly meandered about today, really, so nothing much to report and this is a five-minute blog.

I went to yoga class this morning and then, once I was back, just did spot of pottering about in the kitchen, and then ordered some shopping on-line. Not sure if it’ll come, of course, if there’s no petrol and no drivers….. but we’ll wait and see.

John had a long lie-in this morning and got up just before lunch. I think he feels better for it, so that’s good to know.

While I was taking Chester for one last walk at lunchtime, I took a phone call from a friend and neighbour, Carol, to tell me that her husband, Richard had died. Gosh, it was terrible news. He had been very poorly in recent weeks and it wasn’t unexpected, but I felt very upset for Carol and her family. If you are so inclined, prayers are probably needed.

COVID is more or less the same with 34,526 people infected today and 167 deaths in the community. 92 deaths in hospitals since 25 September. We’re really not doing well, are we?

And so another day passes by – some of it good, some of it bad – much like many a day we’ve had in the last 18 months or so. I have no idea how to improve matters, but I remain ever hopeful that matters will improve.

Take care everyone. God bless.
