We planned to see Pete and Dawn this morning, for coffee. We both snoozed on and whiled away a fair bit of the morning before we needed to get out of bed. Just after half past nine, I yawned and lazily reached out for my phone to find out what was happening in the world.
Well, in our world, Jack, and then Dawn, were texting to say that coffee was cancelled as Peter had put his back out. Oh dear. Not what you need at all when life expects you to be fit and healthy. Not sure what the problem is, but no bending or lifting – which means that family members are rallying round to help out. I’ve offered Red Cross food parcels of course and to do any bits of shopping they might need, but there’s not much else I can help with that I can think of. Maybe make them a cup of tea?
The cancellation naturally changed our plans, and it meant that John and I whiled away a bit more time hugging our beds before we finally got downstairs about 10.30.
Danielle had texted this morning too, and she was wondering whether our washing machine might have some availability. Off to Jersey for a few days and children’s clothes are needed……. Of course we can offer the washing machine and tumble dryer to get a few clothes ready for them!
So instead of a nice leisurely coffee with friends, we trundled over to Kenilworth to collect the clothes, where we had a lovely three-quarters of an hour with the little ones and supped a cuppa with Michael and Danielle before gathering up the washing to bring home.
Once home, we grabbed a bite to eat and I set on with the washing and a spot of ironing. John had a lovely long snooze. He’s very tired right now, but it’s not surprising is it, really? He’s having such a social whirl at the moment that I am sure he needs every scrap of sleep he can capture.
Hopefully, he’ll improve again when he knows the results of a sample he sent off to the doctor’s yesterday and he has some antibiotics for his chest. It’s causing a a bit of a cough and some breathlessness at the moment.
After he’d had a long sleep and his evening meal, John was refreshed enough to join in with the Quiz Night tonight. It was a great quiz and we really enjoyed it. It always helps when we know some of the answers……hehe.
Take care everyone. God bless.
