Thursday was back to work for me, returning to normality, except on I was required to go to Birmingham office for Friday which means an early start to the day, which also happened to be Suzie’s birthday. She had taken the whole week off work so was free to do as she pleased, including a trip to Sheffield with her mate Sam for some retail therapy.
Saturday’s main activity was the removal of an old mattress and a load of junk from the back garden to the local tip, achieved by using Mum’s MPV. Andy had been pre-booked to give it a check over, which revealed two tyres cracking due to age and one of those had a small nail in it. Andy has made arrangements for 2 new tyres to be fitted later this week. Then last night we went out for a meal with Wendy & Barry, and Dave. The chosen venue was the Boat Stop at Rowley which was both a pleasant and popular venue, with good quality food and amicable staff. We all returned back to our home to share a bottle of bubbly Sue was given for her birthday. A nice way to end the day.
Today was marked by the clocks going forward and us consequently loosing an hour in bed. Also the start of the F1 Grand Prix season, and the first suitable day for cutting the grass. Additionally I took a trip down to see Mum & Dad, who has been having a few problems with his catheter. The district nurse called while I was there this morning and when I popped back down at 7pm, she had been again to give him another clean one. Hopefully he will have a better night tonight.
Tomorrow is my birthday and I have to go to the Birmingham office again. Back to normal? No, not quite yet!
