We’ve had a busy Saturday today. I construct the fireguard and vacuum downstairs while my wife drives to Hevingham first thing this morning to collect our eldest granddaughter and bring her over to Southrepps for a couple of hours (to give her parents a break). My wife takes our granddaughter down to the children’s playground by the village hall, while I take the dog for her morning walk. It’s not long before we have to take our granddaughter to be reunited with her mother at the school swimming pool in Aylsham, and then we pay a visit to Tesco (for essential provisions) before returning home to Southrepps.
The afternoon dog walk is combined with a trip to the allotment, where we spend a couple of hours hoeing and weeding and preparing a couple more beds for some more seedlings. I return home feeling exhausted, leaving my wife to finish what we started.
I must have slept awkwardly last night, because I was woken by a stabbing pain in my right hip this morning. It has been painful all day (not helped by kneeling down to do some weeding at the allotment). After dinner I decide to apply some beer and cannabis for pain relief – most effective!
