Fiona's Quiet Life

i felt in hol­i­day mood as i drove away from the build­ing site that is my front garden, i was head­ing to Lon­don to attend the wed­ding of a young man whom i still think of as 6 years old.….….he is in fact approx 30. he and his brother were a pair of the nicest chil­dren i have ever known.….…anyway,
just as i reached tebay for my all day break­fast my phone rand, it was Nicola’s mother in law who was stay­ing with her for the half term hol­i­day, Nic­ola was being taken to hos­pital with sus­pec­ted appen­di­citis.
the traffic that day was hor­rendous it being hol­i­day time and all the world seem­ingly en route for some­where.
so when the road changed from the M6 to M6 toll i phoned again and decided i would stay on M6 to get to M5 and thus to Bath where she was in hos­pital. tex­ting Abby to say i would be a day late com­ing to stay but would be there on Tues­day as we had tick­ets for Dylan Moran at the Apollo theatre.……hugely enter­tain­ing.… she offered to book me into a hotel in bath which was a god send as it took hours to get there and i arrived just on hos­pital vis­it­ing time and would never have found an hotel in the dark and shiny wet­ness of Monday night.
so i was able to stay with her till she was wheeled off to theatre. thence to the mer­cure hotel in queen square.….…..my sat nav denied all know­ledge of queens square.….….
saw Nick on Tues­day look­ing sore but OK, and drove to Lon­don tak­ing 3 and a half hours , so much traffic. then the Dylan moran was great, even then the traffic held us up so we were a couple of minutes late.
today we went and chose paint for Jonathan’s new flat he moves in on Sunday and then Esther and i went on a shoe hunt as the wed­ding is tomor­row and neither of us had a decent pair of party shoes.…we are now exhausted.
