Given my current travails with the ailing relative we spend the first half of our chat catching up on the various ailments, suffered by friends and family. As an update I had a number of early texts from hospital meaning the ailing one is feeling a bit better. It looks like they might operate tomorrow fingers crossed. My mate writes http://pantoblogger.blogspot.co.uk/ which is a weekly insight into staging an amateur pantomime, at least that was the intention when he started out! We talked about what you write, and what you are doing it for, and how sometimes the words are harder to come by than at other times. It gives you respect for writers who can earn a living doing it. Someone once told me “Everyone has a book inside them”. That may be the case, but I’ll bet you wouldn’t want to read 99.9% of them.
It’s a beautiful time of the year springtime, but it does mean I have to cut the grass, pickup sticks and weed the garden on a regular basis. So I started this afternoon and having looked at the condition of the lawn, I think it’s in need of feeding and so that needs to go on the ‘To Do’ list. After a spot of therapeutic ironing and a close encounter with a computer virus, which I hope I’ve dodged, I knock out tea for the family. Then Mrs P the youngest and I are off to the hospital for visiting time. Having got to the hospital in time to claim a parking spot we decide to walk up six flights of stairs to the third floor, instead of using the lift. I know it should be good for me but it just makes my legs ache. Mrs P remarks how well the ailing one looks and let’s just hope that continues after the operation.
I manage to get the last two answers in the weekend crossword with Mrs P’s help, which is gratefully received as my brain has about given up for the day.
Yours on auto-pilot
Jay
