REARMAMENT DAY 6

Fight: building up armoury.

Sunday and once again I wake in the youngest daughters spare bedroom on a sunny morning. My youngest daughter comes and sits on the end of the bed and we chat all things, work, house, car, money and of course most importantly, the coming baby.

The family has breakfast bacon rolls and I continue to organise the things that have been brought from the London house and need to come back to Leicester with us. Eventually everything is sorted and packed into bags, so while lunch rolls are being made I load the car up. The family picnic in the garden and prepare for the drive back. Having miraculously got everything into the car we set off for home in the bright sunshine. It turns out to be a very good drive back, how motorways should work. There is one quick comfort break and then we are home and unpacking the car.

Of course I go and look at the seedlings in the greenhouse and water them. The sun shine over the last couple of days has meant that new blooms have appeared. There is a profusion of new flowers in the garden. It never ceases to amaze me.

I return to trying to sort out all the things that were brought back to Leicester. The bead necklaces I put into new jewellery rolls as I do the several strings of pearls. Eventually I stop the sorting and start to draft the blog and then stop again for dinner. My evening continues with the blog and background TV. I am fighting a headache. Since I stopped drinking coffee my body has rebelled and as a result I’ve been getting headaches. So I shall see this evening out, take my evening meds and go to bed in the hope of sleeping through as long as possible. Tomorrow I can start again sorting through the family memorabilia and history.

A Thousand Li Horse is always a Thousand Li Horse.
