John looked forward to today. A day of George and Sue calling in for a check-up on John’s computer, then an afternoon of watching The Six Nations rugby tournament.
We lazed in bed until nearly mid-day, when George and Sue were due to arrive, supping the cuppa John had made and brought upstairs. It was lush. Having a little natter and a little snooze on a Saturday morning has to be one of life’s little luxuries, I think.
We tottered downstairs in time to greet our guests and then that was it! We were off.
Sue and I talked and talked and talked. George and John puzzled and puzzled over the computer. We drank tea. We drank Prosecco. We drank red wine. We ate cheese on toast. Later on, we ate Spaghetti Bolognese. It was all lovely.
We settled down to watch the rugby, prosecco and nibbles to hand, and we thoroughly enjoyed the Italy v Wales match. Then along came the much anticipated England v France match, at home at Twickenham. But oh, groan… What a disappointment! France pounded the England players and ran out easy winners, with a score of 10 to us and 53 to them. Ouch!
Although we were all disappointed with the match and the score, it didn’t stop us enjoying each others’ company and we rounded our evening off with some lively debate about this week’s current affairs – particularly focussing on the government’s policy on immigration, Gary Lineker’s tweet and the ins and outs of how we treat people. Fascinating stuff – and we all came away having learned just a bit from each other.
I am not sure what we did to have such fabulous friends, but whatever it was, I am very, very grateful for them. Their kindness and their company is just wonderful.
John managed the day pretty well – especially enjoying the after-dinner debate – but he is still a bit wobbly and coughing well. Not sure if we need to administer more antibiotics…… we’ll see how he is tomorrow.
Take care everyone. God bless.
And… oh! Just realised that, once again, we were too busy enjoying ourselves to take photos…… ah, well, maybe next time?
Sounds like another perfect day and so glad John was well enough to enjoy it 😊 See you soon xxx
Yes, it was lovely and relaxed! (Apart from the rugby, of course…)
