Had my first day in the new job today. They seem like a good team of genuine people, so that is really positive. I am looking forward to getting to grips with an actual caseload, but have to get thru the induction first. So far, so good, and the travelling is okay at the moment, probably due in no small part to it being school hols.
Dad called tonight to say that he and Mum will not be coming on their little planned holiday to this part of the world. This is a shame for a number of reasons, not least the fact that this decision was prompted by the fact that they do not feel able to leave Den at present. She really is not doing well at all - most of the feedback from the various medics being of the 'wait and see' variety. It also means that my parents are not getting to have the break that they were both looking forward to and, in a roundabout way, has led to the cancellation of Dith Fest.
I had planned for the presence of the Allen and the Parry contingent being in one place at one time to be a big part of this celebration (it has never happened before, not even at our wedding due to Mum's ill health at the time). Now, however, this is no longer possible and I have decided that my priority is to go and see my folks, if only for a long weekend. My aunt has agreed to put me up, which will relieve this pressure on the parents. It is not without regret I have made the decision to cancel 'Dith Fest', and apologies go out to you all, most especially the Nephews, who I know were looking forward to a picnic in the park. Sorry people, I hope to make it up to you somehow.
Anyhoo, there we go. Another piece of good news is that Husband and myself will be getting to stay overnight in London this coming weekend, which is something to look forward to.
Please keep those prayers coming. Thanks.
