Good morning (what a difference a 'u' makes 😁) from a dark, very still Cornwall with an apparently dry day ahead of us. Ooh, I'll be able to wear a coat instead of a mac. 😁
My son and I had a fun time in another town yesterday where he spent a generous Next voucher (birthday present from his dad) and bought me a pair of earrings. After that we went to Wetherspoons at 5.30 and bagged the last table. The place was full of families and couples, many of them wearing Cornish tartan scarves and ties. A lovely atmosphere. We'd completely forgotten it was St Piran's Day. I had a child's portion of spag bol as my jaw is still fairly stuck but he tucked into a luxury burger. It was supposed to be a treat from me but he insisted on going halves because he found a tenner in his wallet he'd forgotten about. The pair of us don't have much income so Wetherspoons suits us very nicely. 😍
He dropped me home and later there was a knock at my door, unheard of at 10pm because I live behind a padlocked gate and locked downstairs door. Thought it must be my neighbour with a problem but hey ho it was my son who had driven home some miles away to discover that he'd left his front door key in my backpack. He hasn't a sullen bone in his body and had a laugh about it.
Today I'm meeting my oldest school pal for coffee. We first met 67 years ago and our paths have crossed throughout our lives. We are very close and will find something to laugh about, as we always do. We went to infant and senior schools together and then to college so we have many shared memories. Then I'll bus to my other son's house and collect the grandchildren from school. Back to my place once my son finishes work and takes over the reins before his partner gets home.
No Lego-wrangling any more, alas, as the change of day for collecting my grandchildren has put a halt to that, but I can always resume it if things change again, as they inevitably do!
