It was a quiet bank holiday for us. I had a shower, and we had more of the lamb joint, so a second Sunday lunch. They'll even be enough for a curry.
We spent the day watching stuff we had recorded over the weekend in including "The thief his wife and the canoe" I couldn't believe how stupid the pair of them was, he obviously lived in a fantasy world, and was quite frankly a twat. His wife, although the portrayal of her was that she was quite bullied and downtrodden was anything but in my opinion. She was as greedy as he was, and stupid for putting up with him in the first place. I would have turned him in the first instance. He got them into all the debt and I would have dropped him in it with no hesitation. She lied to everyone and deserved every minute she spent behind bars, so did he by the way, but I thought the sentences were very light 6 years 3 months and six years 6 months. I thought that at least 15 to 20 would have been better terms. I hope her sons never speak to their parents again... It was those two I felt sorry for the most.
Tuesday.
We went out to meet Sue and Pete for lunch and do a little shopping. We met them in The Roebuck as it has decent access for wheelchairs and if you go in the first room from the ramp plenty of space for me to park up at a table.
It was lovely to eat out properly, although I'm not eating much because I'm not moving much still and smaller amounts of food. But, I enjoyed what I had.
Sue had got a nasty rash on her arms and chest which the day before she thought was measles, it turned out to be an allergic reaction to something. As she had been on walks and in the garden it could be something that bit her.
While we were there we saw Diane Osbourne, who used to work with me on a Sunday. She now lives in Norfolk, and works in Sheringham. She was up here for the Forest match the night before. Obviously staying over and heading back today. It was lovely to see her. I hope next time we run into her I'm not in a wheelchair and can give her a hug properly.
Sue and Pete walked with us back to the bus stop, where we saw Sheryl Sinfield, and we had a catch up with her too. She kindly put the ramp down on the bus on the way home helping Kev get me off the bus. So it was a proper catch up day. I love our Tuesday catch ups with Sue and Pete and I love being able to still do that even though I'm unable to move much.
It's a lot of work to take me out, but Kev has it pretty much sussed and we both enjoy getting out of the house just for a little while.
We got back to find Willow had made herself a nest out of the bed throw, bless her. She is such a little love. Once I was back in bed she wasted no time in settling down on my legs.
