Spring Cleaning?

A lovely sunny day and not bitterly cold. Nevertheless, we all stayed in bed until late morning and then thought we’d nip up to Oakes’ for breakfast. Regrettably, we’d just missed it by a few minutes, so we had lunch instead!

We had a lovely time, and it was nice to spend an hour or two together with Andrew before he set off back to Cambridge.

John spent some time sorting out access to Twickenham on his phone and the computer, and Andrew assisted. Thank goodness. I’m not as hot as I used to be on the ol’ computer, so it was good have a young man’s head working it out.

Paul has secured tickets for the England vs Italy match in the Six Nations on Sunday, so between them they are planning how to get there. Exciting, isn’t it? Fingers crossed health permits…..

After Andrew left, I spent the rest of the afternoon rummaging in the old ‘utility’ room, which is actually a store now. The aim was to try and clear it a bit so that we don’t have to fight our way in. It’s not finished of course, because I did a bit, stopped a bit, then did a bit more. I have found one or two things for the charity shop though, so that’s helpful.

After tea, I gave Gloria a ring to see how she was doing. Naturally, dreadfully upset, but doing OK so far. Bless her, she was still recovering from a virus she’d caught that had given her a terrible cough, so that doesn’t help, does it? However, Christiana was there with her new addition to the family, young Nicholas, so that’s taking Gloria’s mind off dwelling on everything.

This evening we searched through all the various channels we now have access to again, since the scaffolding came down on Friday afternoon, to find something we fancied watching. In the end, we watched an old film called St. Vincent in which Bill Murray starred. Not very PC since the producers were the Weinstein brothers……. ah well, we enjoyed it anyway. It was a bit of a ‘feelgood’ movie which suited our mood.

Tomorrow, there’s more utility room to sort out, but we’re thinking we might go out for the day. There’s no Quiz Night this week, so we’re free to take our time. Not sure where we might go. Suggestions?

Take care everyone. God bless.
