Story of the trip home
Saturday 15 March No doubt the longest Saturday of my life and one where I had so little sleep that I'm probably lucky I got back home in one piece. Had the emergency exit for the first flight, but didn't help at all. This time I was physically sick on the flight to London. Sunday 16 March Got a good night sleep and after breakfast , I drove down to Tescos to get some money and lunch. Picked up a pasta and shaving things. Got mum to try some pasta with meatballs. Arranged to pick up one sister, Pauline on the way to the hospital and to have dinner at my other sister's, Janice. Dad looked in good shape to say what he had been through and was more worried about mum than himself. Gave Aunty Buster a call too. I must be tried, got emotional over a skating competition ! Monday 17 March More shopping, this time Argos and Lidels (which appears identical to Aldi). Bought a kettle to replace the one that was virtually falling apart. Went to see Dad with Janice & she directed me...
Going Home
Sad news from home - Nottingham, my father is seriously ill in hospital, so I am going to fly over to see him and the rest of the family. Hasn't really hit me as yet, I'm guess that will happen when I see him in bed in the hospital - never expected this and was a surprise to the family. Every now and then I get overcome with emotion about what the final outcome of this illness could be and shed a tear or two, I expect more of that when I get home and face the reality of it all.
New Cars - Melbourne Motor Show 2008
I was in toy heaven and got to sit in lots of new cars. My personal favourites and ones that I could possible consider as my next car were the Nissan Micra, Fiat Punto, Suzuki SX4 AWD and Skoda Roomster!
