Safely back, and
we all had a grand time.
I was appalled at
what a dead weight I have become. Putting it another way, at how much weaker I am than the last time I was there, nearly a year ago.
On Saturday
morning, we went down the commonty, all five of us – for Helen’s dog Farouk was
a member of the party. Helen took some pictures which I hope she’ll share. I
remember the last time my husband made that journey. C. was there. He sort of
gave way on the way back. We brought a chair out from the house for him to sit
on for a while. Eventually we got him back to the house and called an
ambulance. They came promptly, found blood sugar very low, restored him to the
land of the living without having to carry him off. I refused, in the later semi-active
months of his life, to take him to Kirkmichael without someone else to back me
up.
No such crisis
this time, but I found it tough going.
As for knitting, I
got round the heel of the Kaffe Fassett sock and started down the foot.
And I’m afraid I
greatly enjoyed the downfall of the Minister of Health. During or just after
the War, one of the famous radio comedy shows was “Hancock’s Half Hour”. The
title has provided many a burst of ribald laughter on social media in the last
48 hours.
So glad you had your weekend at your favorite spot. My further comment - how do I say this re yardsticks in the aging process?
ReplyDeleteRe Matt Hancock:" Let he that is without sin cast the first stone". So many moral issues raised in the one scenario, social distancing surely the least of these. But to hear Dominic Cummings sniping from the sidelines is sickening...
ReplyDeleteVisiting Kirkmichael in fine weather sounds lovely.
ReplyDeleteThe mother of a friend of mine had days of feeling very odd. It turned out to be widely varying blood pressure. If you have equipment to check your blood pressure and blood sugar at home, you could catch it at the moment, so to speak, to have the information to report to your doctor.
