Family Hugs.........

 
Saturday afternoon Hubby and I set off for a two and a half hour drive. W is my brother-in-lawK 's sister so part of our extended family and she had invited us to her 70th birthday party. The journey was really good traffic wise and so worth it for hugs with my sisterS, my niece and nephew, their spouses and their children. 

SisterS had offered us a sleepover but Hubby said he was happy to drive home. So a fun evening and our own bed yaay!

Waking up Sunday we both wished each other a happy 51st wedding anniversary.

First on the agenda was watching the Strictly we'd missed, enjoyed with breakfast. Sadly received a message from Son that fiancé was in hospital having some tests as she had been unwell Saturday afternoon. Updated much later that she was feeling a lot better, had had a CT Scan and would be monitored and having an MRI Scan on Monday. Son said she didn't want any visitors. Such a worry. 

We did two machine loads of washing, and after they were all hung upstairs we went out for a restaurant lunch. We hadn't booked but thought we'd try our local farmhouse carvery, but that unfortunately was full. Plenty of room at the Beefeater and their Sunday roast was enjoyed by us both. We both left there really full up. Hubby went out in the evening for the Pool League (he's captain this week). I was very grateful to be staying in as the weather was wild, wet and windy. 

Fiancé was fine to come home Tuesday. They will no doubt keep monitoring her to make sure she stays fine. 

Our main doctor's surgery often has students in and I was invited in to talk to this week's students as they are onto urology. I had been told there would be three half hour sessions each time with three students. They were quite late getting started and as I'd had multiple kidney and bladder cancers the first group and I chatted for well over an hour. They had lots of questions and said my extensive knowledge of how it was all dealt with and how it all impacted on me physically and mentally was really useful to them. With just ten minutes left until Hubby was picking me up I had to decline talking to the next group. Just a tiny bit of paying back for all the NHS has done for me. 

Had to get home on time as we were dog sitting for Daughter. M collected her from a distance as he now has covid. 

Daughter and O went to London to see Ungodly, the play that R is in.

Daughter said it was brilliant and their press night reviews echoed that sentiment. 

Friday we went to Son and fiancé's to visit, with 'get well soon' flowers for fiancé and some shopping Son had asked for. We didn't stay too long as she's still quite tired but she is recovering and told us all the hospital care she's been getting even now she's home, is really helping.

Hubby's pool practice night was brief as so few turned up it wasn't worth him staying more than two games. Shame he had to drive just over 25 minutes each way but only be out about 80 minutes in total.

Don't forget the clocks go back an hour this weekend...... wonder if I will benefit from having more time, or just stay confused all day Sunday as usual.
