Year: 2019

My last visit to see my counsellor, I left it for a month and she has given me the strength to hopefully manage a lot better. Bless her, she also said to ring her any time that I need to. She has been an absolute star and I was so lucky that Lou knew her and she wanted to help me.

From there I went to Westwood to collect my orders from M&S. Westwood was packed and someone managed to scrape the side of my car whilst it was in the car park…not impressed!

In the evening after a shaky start, Spurs beat Olympiacos! 4-2

Twenty five years ago was the day Mal and I first met. The following day I had my first car accident with him in the car…….it wasn’t my fault, an old man who didn’t see a parked lorry and so drove into me instead at the last minute. Mal should have known then. He said he had never met anyone that so much had happened to! That’s life!

It was my day at Demelza. Heather is still not well and waiting for more hospital appointments.  The lady who fell outside the shop a couple of weeks back, her husband had been in and brought us a box of roses and gave a very good donation to Demelza. That was so nice of him.

Lou, Rhys, Ollie, Oscar and Josie came round for Sunday lunch, so I cooked a roast and I also cook a liver and bacon casserole because they like it and don’t have it at home. It was nice to see Rhys as he usually works or is sleeping so that was nice.

We watched the Man U game, I think they woke up 70 minutes in, a little late.

After taking Ellie I walked to the town and posted a Christmas parcel to north Cyprus. For anyone who doesn’t know, all post goes via Turkey. The girl behind the counter kept asking for the name of the road and I had to keep explaining that there wasn’t one and although the postal address appears to be Turkey, it is in fact north Cyprus! I know half the post goes missing anyway, hopefully this will reach its destination.

There is always something on in Sandwich and today the Rock Choir

……….until it rained!

Home and we watched the Spurs v Hammers game. Interesting and I am guessing Mourinho will be looking for some sort of silverware, maybe for the FA. His first game with Spurs and they won.

I went shopping early as I said to Mal later “it is beginning to feel a lot like Christmas”!! Westwood car park, cars were queuing. TKMaxx a long queue for the till and it went on. I did a big supermarket shop and then went looking for Christmas presents. Things they had in M&S, they didn’t have the sizes I wanted etc etc. So, back home and I ordered them online. I did manage to get a couple of things. So many presents to buy! As I said before bit by it.

It seemed colder than previous days. Ellie loves having the wind in her ears but went a bit crazy running alongside the river and down the bank. When she came back up she had rolled in something disgusting. It didn’t stink as much as fox poo but even so we had to shower her as soon as we were home! Oh the pleasures of having a golden retriever! She is good though and acts as if the drying her with the hair dryer is a pamper session!

Rhys sent me a video in the evening. They have already decorated the outside of their house for Christmas!

After taking Ellie for a long walk I drove to Westwood to meet Rhys. We went and had a curry for our lunch. We were talking about Christmas presents and gave me some excellent ideas, in fact we went over to the shops and I bought Lou’s present! I have now also ordered Rhys’s and grandson Torin. Bit by bit!

In the evening Mal and I went to the Theatre Royal to see Steeleye Span. It was their 50th anniversary and it brought to mind that I first saw them in 1970 at Warwick Uni and have seen them many times since then. Of course the evening ended with a rendition of “All around my hat”. They performed a lot of good new numbers.
