Lovely day today.

We both had a strange night’s sleep last night. kp didn’t get to bed until 3am. We talked for a bit when she came to bed and then I ended up getting up and walking the dogs at about 4am. She joined me for breakfast at 5am and then we both went back to bed ?! Very weird.

Today Michelle, Freddy, Adele and Abbie came up. Michelle had said they would be up around 12.30pm – we adjusted for “Michelle” time (2pm) and we weren’t far wrong. Adele came to clean the house and the rest for a barbecue. We felt sorry for Adele as it was quite a muggy day, not the kind of day you want to be slaving away inside.

Freddy did an excellent barbecue and we all had a lovely afternoon. Abbie earned 5 quid for catching a ball thrown from one end of the garden to the other. Michelle got lots of laughs for doing her Julie Andrew impressions and also for her gymnastics.

kp is in top form and we seemed to have the pain nicely under control. It was just starting to become an issue about 5pm, but then the new patches went on at 7pm. It should have been 9pm, but we were both knackered and went t bed early.
