A swift report

Tired and done for the day but, rather than allow yet another flash past without reporting in, I offer a swift summary of our day.

John has spent all day in the garage pottering about with the car and waiting in for the nurse to come. She didn’t turn up so more frustration and phone calls to no avail. Will try them again tomorrow.

Meanwhile, I sauntered about in the garden this morning. I had been to the garden centre the other day and bought one or two things so I went out with the best intentions. Of course, it’s always the other jobs that grab your attention, isn’t it? So, naturally, the main event – which was to liven up the rockery with alpines – didn’t happen. I did, however, manage to plant up a hanging basket for Danielle to cheer her up. Some weeks ago she’d asked us if we could get one of those pointy-shaped hanging baskets. At the time, there weren’t any available where we visited. But voila! We found one at the Hampton Garden Centre.

After a grubby morning, I shot upstairs to get a shower, before going out to a neighbour’s house for ‘afternoon tea’ with several other ladies of a certain age. It was all very nice and genteel and we had a good chat.

When I got home, John was still waiting for the nurse and opted not to come over for grandparenting duties at the Kenilworth Newbies. Michael was working between 5 and 6, so could I go and feed the boys their tea? Of course….. Had a lovely time and stayed on to read William a bedtime story. When I got back home the nurse still hadn’t been….. par for the course I suppose, but nonetheless it’s very irritating.

We simply sat and watched the box this evening – two of my favourite programmes, MasterChef and The Great British Sewing Bee, were showing so I lapped them up.

And there we have it. A day in a nutshell.

Take care everyone. God bless. Keep safe – Covid is still doing the rounds…..
