Thursday is a blur apart form getting a letter from a friend, the start of the women’s world cup and one training session, which was a struggle.

The evening was a poor Agatha Christie movie, the child did it. Meds and then bed.

Friday and I wake early for todays the day my youngest delivers a grandson, Dangerous Beans, and we are off to Gloucester to see them. So I breakfast early, shower, and then take the car to fill and check the tyres. I’m packed and ready to go, any moment now could be the call as she was due in at midday for a C section and now it 12:42. I am on tenterhooks. I drive my partner and I to the hotel in Glouster to await news of Dangerous Beans.

Hurray Hurray Dangerous Beans has arrived and weighed in at 9lbs 15 ounces at 15:54 at Gloucester Royal Hospital. I am a grandfather again and my partner a grandparent for the first time. All concerned are well and thriving.

There is nothing else to say on such a day. My partner and I dine on Greek food, finish with Metaxa and retreat to the hotel. Tomorrow we will visit the new family member. For now I draft the blog, take my meds and go to bed.
