Today was a bit special. Sue and the boys are involved in the counting of votes for the European vote that took place on Thursday leaving me free to do my own thing, so, I’d arranged to take mother down to the Helen Lay Centre to visit Dad in the morning, then go to lunch and return after Dad had had his Sunday lunch for a second visit before heading back home. We left mother’s place at 10:10, got to Helen Lay at 11:15 after driving through some attrocious weather. Mum admitted that if she’d been driving she’d have gone back home. We saw numerous accidents on the way, the biggest being a 5 car pile-up. Standing water on the motorways was the problem, that and the fact that drivers weren’t slowing down, so when they hit puddles in the outside lane it just spun them into the barrier. Must have seen a dozen wrecks in all.
Dad was really well, looking very good. He’d had a hair cut and was well rested. He’d been in a jacqusi pool in the week and really enjoyed it. Tonight he was going into the church service. And he’s been mixing with others in there for respite. He looked well and mother is benefitting from not having to care for him 24/7. Yes, today was a special day.
