It was a mixed weekend this week.
We were awoken at 05:15hrs on Saturday by a phone call. Unfortunately the number came up as unrecognised and the message left on my voicemail did not tell me where the person was calling from. So at 07:00hrs I drove to work to check my e-mails, as our home computer is dead.
Then we went out for lunch with the sister-in-law who was staying with us for a few days. I then left them to do "shopping" while I went off to watch the rugby with my dad. We witnessed a terrific display, in appalling conditions, by the Pontypool team. We beat Newbridge, our local rivals, 33-10 - but they were lucky to get 10.
The evening was spent with me dying on the settee before succombing to the dreaded lurgy and going to bed at half eight, feeling like a very dead dead thing, that had died and then been brought back to life and killed again.
Yesterday was spent with me in bed trying to recover sufficiently to enable me to go to work today. Thankfully it did, though I did finish reading the 430 page book that arrived on Saturday morning. FW had to take s-i-l to Chippenham for Father in Law to collect her and take her home. This meant that we missed the service at our chapel. This was being led by Vicotry Outreach, a local charity that helps ex-offenders and drug users. We'd been trying to meet them for almost a year and had been eagerly anticipating the service.
