I forgot to mention this last update, but I was informed that when my darling sister flies in from Ireland tomorrow, Mum was kicking me out of the spare room so that Siobhan could stay there. After scrambling around for a bit, I talked with Grandma and they said it would be fine if I crashed with them for the duration of Siobhan’s visit. She also suggested I might want to talk to Kath, since Kath has a spare room over at her place (my cousin Rhiannon being over in the UK as well).

Rewind: yesterday was busy, very busy. I had a work meeting in the morning with a client, then back to Mum’s, then down to Merivale to see the bank, the travel agent and have coffee. After that it was back into town to see another client, then to Dad’s to do a little bit of work. From there I went to Grandma’s and now we’re back to the start of this post. After having a lovely dinner with Grandma and Grandad, I then went over to Kath and Gareth’s to have a cuppa (after talking with Kath briefly on the phone) and talk aboutmy possibly ensconcing myself in their spare room. After that, back to Mum’s. All of this was on my bike, by the way. Work out day!

The upshot of all of this was that Kath and Gareth both said it would be fine for me to be staying with them, they’d be delighted. They also said I was welcome to use Rhiannon’s car, as long as it was serviced up and so on. So lots of thanks to Kath and Gareth for their generosity, it is certainly above and beyond and I am truly grateful. Today I moved all my stuff in and got the car. That’s going to enable me to do a whole lot more, methinks!

I also saw Dad today, since he’s back from the UK. It’s wonderful to see him again – welcome back, Dad. ^^
