When I returned from my conference on the friday, it was with the knowledge that the weekend was going to be without SB, who was kipping on a ship with the guides and very happy about that so we had a plan of fun BB type things to do together, and perhaps a bit of walking , geocaching and gardening. This all got thrown out a bit as f-i-l was rushed into hospital and required resus whilst there. eventually discharged late on the mon [so no-one has any worry] we had a very worrying weekend, partic that fri and sat night. As soon as i got back, DH drove to the not-nearest hosp to join m-i-l and keep watch until about 2 am when f-i-l was settled enough for them to come home. SB was v distressed and unable to sleep initially, and finally collapsed about 1, and bb was awake still at midnight. We reassured SB and sent her off on her guides camp and kept her updated by phone as grandad settled.
SB did have a fab time at guides camp on the HMS Belfast. they went to ‘The CLINK‘ a gory dungeon type museum which she obviously loved, ate at wagamamas, slept on HMS belfast [which smelt as bad as a muck spread field - lovely!] and watched some of the marathon the next day – luckily without the bombs that there were in Boston. I was a bit worried about that. Came home exhausted but happy.
We changed our plans, had a good gardening weekend and games playing at home. DH ferried his mum about and spent a lot of time with his dad and was glad to see such an improvement happen quickly. BB and I played lots of games, including agricola. We did some butterfly spotting, sowed the french and climbing beans, her seeds have all germinated. we found a lost easter egg from the easter egg trail – which she quickly demolished! we also gave alfie a run about outside. we mostly chilled together and kept each other occupied. It was lovely, even if not what we had planned
Oh c would have Not Liked That At All! She struggled walking from London Bridge tube because of people from The Clink all dressed up trying to persuade people to go in.
