On Saturday, Caelyn, Nigel, Wendy and I went to town together. Caelyn needed to pop in at the optician to get her spectacles repaired. The baby was lying awkwardly so walking was really uncomfortable for her. She gets tired quickly and you have to watch her and make her sit down from time to time.
And Wendy was running around like a hooligan, scaring me half to death! Luckily her dad is fast of foot and he had to keep her with us. Trust me, it was major exercise!
By the time we got to the end of town, we were all a bit tired so we went and had coffee and a burger at Caelyn's favourite Yellow Cafe. That isn't its real name but it is the one we remember it by.
Sean arrived in time for Mass, and we really enjoyed it. It was so quiet, reverent and holy. It did us a lot of good. This week's Thursday Talk is going to be given by a Franciscan priest on the subject of St Francis' relationship to the Lord. Sean can't come because he is chairing a meeting in London, but I hope to be able to go.
Today, Sunday, Sean and I had breakfast in town, then he took me home for a rest while he went to go and pick up Wendy. There was a display of Military vehicles on the Leas, including some miniature radio controlled ones. We thought Wendy would like to see that so we took her to it.
This is new on the Leas. Its called the Vinery.
We had a good time and Wendy enjoyed running around. When we began getting cold, we went to The Bay Tree for hot chocolate, which warmed us up.
When we got back home, she was having a great time with Sean. She was tickling him and asking him to sit on her lap, which he pretended to do. They were laughing together a lot and it was delightful to hear.
Picking daisies
He took her back home at 4pm then went home happy and exhausted. The dog was happy to have gone out too. The only sorrow is my cat Jack's health. Nigel is taking us to the Vet on Wednesday afternoon. Wendy will stay home with her mum for obvious reasons.
Talking of mums, my mum has a stone in her salivary gland and the doctor has referred her to an ear, nose and throat surgeon. In the meanwhile, she has to have a liquid diet so she is hoping to use the time for weight loss.
