Family News

We did not have Family Night In this week as Michelle was at work, Caelyn is in bed with ‘flu and Josie was having a Church Dinner. Here is a bit of the news all the same:

Wendy is a lot better after her ear infection, although still not completely herself. She has a pair of red Wellington boots and one of them has been at my house and the other at her own house. Caelyn says she has been insisting on wearing that one boot all week! I’ve mentioned quite frequently that she has to go out every day. With her Mum in bed with ‘flu, Wendy hasn’t been taken out and she got fed up with it. She found her shoes and coat, put them on, went to the front door and tried to get out. Her dad realised she would have to go out so he did the honours.





Nigel has had some good news about a Day Release apprenticeship in one of the main dealer chains. The man he spoke to knows Nigel's tutor who has promised to give him an excellent reference. I should think so because Nigel is first in his class, doesn't miss college unnecessarily and he works hard. His tutor gave them a surprise test the other week, on stuff he had told them to look up for homework. Only two or three had actually done the homework and they were the ones who passed. Nigel was one of them.




Michelle finished work at 10pm on Friday and she went to catch the bus home. A streetlight wasn’t working and it was so dark that she tripped over a raised manhole cover. She winded herself, grazed her chin and hurt her ankle. She says she had a panic attack because she is scared of the dark and she couldn’t find her handbag in the dark and she wanted her phone. Poor lass! She eventually got a taxi. She is bone tired because she has worked 10 days in a row. At least she has this weekend off.

I am terribly tired and aching and have been in bed all day. I told Sean I wasn’t well enough to see him and he was very sweet about it. This week, Sean stepped down from a 3 year stint as Master of the Catholic Writers Guild. He has handed over to Melanie MacDonagh and feels that she will do an excellent job.

Oh yes, I took Terrie to buy a new phone this week and had to set it up for her. She is pleased with it.

I am going to rest up as much as I can to get over this health blip as soon as possible.

Have a good week, everyone.
