Friday

I forgot to post my blog last night as I was tired so just a quick catch up.

I rang my friends Margaret and Sharon in NZ this morning and had a lovely chat to them. I really miss them both so much. Sharon told me all the news from the Red Cross so I am up to date on that now.

I spent the rest of the morning doing some housework and had a call from Jane to say she needed to come into Newmarket to do some shopping so would pop in after her baby massage class. I asked if she wanted to stay for lunch and she said yes.

I went outside and swept the pine needles and cones up as it looked a real mess outside. I tidied up the edges a little but it needs a bit more work out there.

I went out to do my shopping and when I got back Jane and Riley were here.

Jane fed Riley while I got the lunch ready. Jon has been busy doing a lot of work in the office.

We had a nice lunch and then I had a play with Riley.

I had to take Rene to the doctors to have her foot checked and was just about to leave when Ben, the builder, arrived with a load of stones for the drive. I had to ask him to wait while I got my car out or I would have been late.

I went over for Rene and another neighbour opened the door and I said we were going to the doctor. She told me she thought Rene must have forgotten as she was just making a cup of tea for her and she was not ready.

Rene said she thought the appointment was for the morning and I had forgotten!!!! She had changed the plaster herself and had forgotten that I had told her not to.

I quickly got her coat sorted her out and locked up the house and we left.

It was very windy walking from the car to the doctors and she nearly got blown over.

We weren't in there long and the nurse checked her foot and said it was fine and did we want to go back next week. I said if we could avoid it it would be better and that I was happy to change the dressing every two or three days as it was so much of an effort to get her down to the surgery. Hopefully, she won't keep changing it and it will continue to improve.

I got her back home and settled and then I went home as Kirsty was coming for dinner. I did open a bottle of port, which she got for her birthday and she had not been able to open so she can have a drop when she wants.

Back home and Kirsty arrived and we had a chat before I got dinner ready.

We had a nice evening and she left to go home about 11.00. James was not due home till about 1.00a.m.
