The Best Laid Plans….

Yesterday, in anticipation of a lovely lunch with Louise and Dave today, I picked some Spring flowers from the garden and set the dining table…….

Looks a bit lonely, doesn’t it? Empty chairs at an empty table? That’s because we thought we’d better cancel our lunch date since John has a cold!! What a shame – we had been looking forward to a get-together so much, but decided it was much better not to risk it – and now we’re on the hunt for another date in the near future. The best laid plans……. ah, well!

John stayed in bed this morning but got up at lunchtime. He stayed downstairs until midway through the evening when he took himself off to bed feeling rather weary and not too clever.

I wasn’t sure quite what to say to him when he said he was going to go into the garage to do a bit of tidying up. I didn’t think it was the best idea when he was feeling poorly, so I just bleated the constant refrain on my lips at the moment; “Well, don’t do more than half an hour – we’re trying to keep you healthy for a our trip to Cornwall next week….”

I am not sure that it was the effort in the garage that did him in – I think it was falling asleep without a blanket on and getting a bit of a chill. Fingers crossed there’s an improvement tomorrow.

I had quite a busy day one way and another, having been to yoga class this morning, then did a spot of spring cleaning of the oven, put on some washing, cooked the lunch (we thought we’d have the lasagne John had made anyway!), talked to Mum’s care home and doctors (more on that tomorrow), prepared the Quiz for tomorrow night and took Andrew down to the station and hugged him goodbye, before a bit of a tidy-up after our day at home. Gosh, I hope I am not sickening for something….. hot lemon and honey all round, I think!!

Take care everyone. God bless.
