A bit of this and a bit of that

We have had an interesting day today with a bit of this and a bit of that.

We had both been looking forward to seeing Pete and Dawn, who came round this morning, and they didn’t disappoint. It was lovely to see them and chew the cud as usual. For the boys, they had a great time talking tachometers. Pete has mended the one for the Lotus and he brought it round, all hopeful that it will work. We may have a go at fitting it on Friday when George and Sue come round – all being well, that is.

Despite the enjoyment of seeing our dear friends, John was very tired. He’d got up and had his breakfast, but soon afterwards was looking forward to a sit down in his chair and closing his eyes for the hour or so before our guests arrived.

After our guests left, John was again looking forward to closing his eyes again and, after lunch, did just that for most of the afternoon.

I, too, was weary, so instead of getting on with the jobs I know I’ve got to do, I sat alongside John and watched TV all afternoon, catching up on the TV programmes I’d missed recently.

Towards tea-time, John thought he’d try and have a potter in the garage. Two minutes later, he came back into the lounge. “Erm…. can you help?” he wanted to know, “I’ve lost the arm rest from the scooter – not sure where it’s gone. Can we re-trace our steps of yesterday to have a look for it?” So we wandered down the road to the doctor’s surgery and back, looking all the way for the errant arm rest. No luck. I was confident, however, that we’d find it in the garage. No luck there either, darn it. It seems to be lost. We’ll be having a look on Mr Google for a replacement tomorrow……

This evening was Quiz Night. We had been very much looking forward to it after a week or two hiatus in proceedings, and it was a delight to catch up with everyone again. For a while, John’s anxiety held sway and he felt unable to join in immediately, but he soon got going and the Quiz went along with a swing. Great fun, and we enjoyed the company.

The evening was a bit too long for John though, so no sooner had the Quiz finished than we said our goodbyes and logged off from Zoom so that we could get ready for bed. That takes a while these days!! Who’d have thought it, eh?

Take care everyone. God bless.
