While not prescribing to the religious connections, I do wish everyone a "Happy Easter" perhaps I need to keep a routine that is marked in someway by events, I could of course become a pagan and do it that way! However our visit to Austwick was eventful as Frank developed a chest infection and was really not well for the first three days or so. Ironic that the "official" marking of him giving up smoking was 1st April and he has had recurring chest infections and coughing bouts ever since. After some insistence he has a GP appointment but not until 30th April. Why is it that GP's seem to work part time now? Of course they can afford to work part time on the money we are giving practices for every consultation and procedure they undertake. We did manage to get the garden cleared up, had a fire of the debris, dug and fertilised the dormant vegtable patch that is destined for the tatties and generally cleaned the house. The big news is that the kitchen designer came and showed us a fantastic kitchen concept at a fantastic price of £24K - so unless we win the lottery it will not happen! While we were down we managed a couple of visits to the "Game Cock Inn" for the French night meal special and a drink with most of the staff of their night off! Some reward for the work we did and Eric the owner asked if we would work for him as he had a busy Thursday night - we headed to Kirkcaldy instead!
Back in Kirkcaldy and it is so depressing! The High Street shops seem to be falling as a result of the credit crunch and closing so consequently the folk are looking glum!
ANyway back to Austwick perhaps with Gordon again, but probably on my own, to continue the gardening and house-keeping. Hope the weather forecast is going to the kind!
