Day 388 – Thursday 18th May 2006
Lovely day today.
Both kp and I enjoyed a restful cockroach-free night in the hotel (big thanks to Dad for stumping the bill) !!
We had a room service breakfast of croissants and toast on the balcony.
Here is kp after the breakfast at about 10am
She went back to bed until 12pm and then we went in the pool where kp could do her hydrotherapy exercises. I encouraged her to lie on her back (with me supporting her) so she could relax at the end of them, but she isn’t as confident in water as she was pre-accident and although she wasn’t quite screaming, she was raising her voice when she said………………
kp:- David – get me upright again !
An attempt at swimming resulted in the same kind of protest.
When the family arrived, we joined them for ice cream and beer. They shouldn’t really drink beer at such an age, but there is no telling the parents.
Here are the kids. Note Jamie’s (right) skillfull decorating of his face/t-shirt with choc ice.
Then Jane, Guy, Dad and I played double’s tennis. Pollards vs Boxalls. Modesty prevents me from saying if the Pollard’s won. BUT WE SLAUGHTERED THEM !
Tennis over (4pm), it was time for the kids to go for dinner and then bed. Kisses goodbye……………..
ÂÂÂ
And now kp and I have come back up to the room for a shower and some peace rest. Tonight, mum and dad are babysitting AGAIN ! And we are off for a meal at another German restaurant recommended by dad. Coming home tomorrow. Big thanks go to Marie who has been dog-sitting for us. From the sounds of it, we are going back to a new house, with a new back garden. She has got 20 rubbish bags filled with garden debris from all the digging up she has done ! THANKS MARIE !

Hi ya Kp
Kp apart from you screaming at insects and thinking David couldn’t support you in a pool, the holiday looked really great, although we know it will have set you some challenges and thoughts. I’ve been looking at flights and trains to come up in the summer for a visit to the caravan. Can get a flight for £35, but would have to pay parking, so I think I’ll go for the £20 return on the train. I thought if you and Jane could pick me up in Darlington we’d be at the caravan in no time. Also we can do it during the week, doesn’t have to be a weekend. We will check diaries when you are back, have a great flight tomorrow, speak soon. By to the Pollards
just spoken to Marie although it was a bit late in the week to do so, today has flown by for her, now theres not enough time to get all the jobs in before you two arrive home. Dp all the pictures have looked fantastic (hint, hint
Cheers
