Try to control your excitement. This is our revitalised\u00a0garage, with Astroturf and uncluttering.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

It’s the last day of July, and summer\u00a0is edging forward rather quickly. Dot has been discharged from\u00a0her annual hospital appointments and been told she will not\u00a0die of bowel cancer, because there is no sign of it and it takes years to develop. Cause of rejoicing. The same evening (last Wednesday) we went to the cinema and saw Dunkirk<\/em>, which was rather chaotic \u2013 therefore true to life, I guess \u2013 and pretty effective, especially in the last third.<\/p>\n

The following three days we saw a great deal\u00a0of Colin Wright, who came to lay Astroturf in the garage and smarten it up generally with the use of wood where the walls meet the ceiling. Dot and I bought a spotlight and assisted slightly. The filing cabinet had to be emptied and refilled yet again, which was obviously fun.<\/p>\n

In the midst of all this \u2013 and coincidentally on our 49th wedding anniversary \u2013 the HIgbees came to lunch, and we had toad in the hole, as well as quite a lot of wine.<\/p>\n

Colin finished the garage work on the Friday but returned on Saturday to cut the hedge and a few other things. Dot spent a very long time sorting out the garage and the garden, and at lunchtime on Saturday we walked\u00a0up to Phil’s to check that his garden was OK. I had watered it a couple of times, but we had also had plenty\u00a0\u00a0of rain; so it looked fine. In the evening we had no food in the house suitable for a dinner; so we went\u00a0down the road to Prezzos. I had a pizza and didn’t sleep too well, though the pizza was fine. I think.<\/p>\n

We were very fortunate with the weather for Colin’s work. It was dry all the while he was here, but at night we had one thunderstorm and plenty of additional rain. As all the stuff from the garage had to be put outside while he did his work, rain would have been awkward, as it would for the hedge-cutting.<\/p>\n

Yesterday after a particularly long morning service and a quick lunch we went to North Walsham, visiting\u00a0\u00a0Sainsbury’s and the cemetery before descending on Jessie for a cup of tea and cake. As I write, Linda is doing\u00a0Dot’s hair and will shortly be cutting mine.<\/p>\n

Quite a bit of confusion about Andrew this week. First I had a call from the hospital to say he needed clothes. Helen at Minster Lodge said all his clothes had been sent to the hospital\u00a0\u00a0and she would be investigating. Meanwhile it appeared that Andrew was about to be discharged, but no-one knew when. This is still the case. I have sent him a parcel with underclothes and a couple of tee-shirts and am awaiting developments.<\/p>\n

The grandchildren are in Minorca.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
