I hadn't realised how long it was since I last posted - it's amazing how quickly time passes when you are busy, and we have all been busy....
Mark turned 21 at the beginning of March - with a family meal out on his (mid-week) birthday and another with girlfriends (his and Andy's), 3 out of 4 grandparents, Angie & John, Janice & Des, Suzie & I, the Saturday after his birthday. He’s managed to spend some time with his young lady while she was back from Manchester Uni for “half term”, and fitted in some stints at work on top of his studies.
Andy bought a neighbours rather knackered Astra to rebuild and sell on, which kept him busy for a couple of weeks. And he's done a couple of turns chauffeuring for his boss at work.
Dad has been in the Helen Lay Centre for the last 2 weeks so I spent last Sunday with mother, took her out for a drive, a meal in Leamington Spa and then spent a couple of hours with dad before heading home. Andy took her down again today, along with a new wheel chair because they don’t have enough to go round all the inmates on respite.
With all the redundancies made at my work’s last year those of us still employed there are finding life a bit busy. On a sad note, none of those that were shown the door have yet found employment. It’s a tough world out there in the job market right now so no complaints about being a bit busy.
Today, Suzie & I spent this morning shopping in Derby for our birthday presents to each to other as we both have a birthday before the end of the month, as well as our wedding anniversary. And next weekend we are away on a "murder mystery" weekend.
