Decorating

Ed is busy decorating the lounge. He said it would take a week, but since he’s nearly finished the first coat in a day, I think he might have been erring on the cautious side.

Rachel next door (to the Rectory) rang up to give us the latest update on the cat, so I invited her up for the day next Friday. She was pleased and I know we’ll have a good day together.

I had a phone call last night from some very old friends who live in the Midlands but come this way on holiday each year to a static caravan on the coast. They’re coming over for the day the following week so you can see our social diary is already alight with engagements.

I keep well out of the way when Ed’s in decorating mode (it being safer that way) so whizzed off to the Farm Shop on my bike. It’s the first time I’ve ridden it for ages and it was great. Called in at the surgery on the way to book in with new doctors. It seems we both have to have a once-over with the nurse as new patients. What a bore! All right for Ed, he’s falling apart, but I’m fit and healthy. I don’t want to go, but suppose I must. I’ll put it off for as long as possible.

Got started with the new keyboard and have at least discovered how to get the sound of different instruments. I’m sure you need a PhD to really get to grip with it though, so I may never know its full potential.

Oh well. Keeps me happy.
