This has been a very mixed weekend.
The charity ball was a great evening. First Wife was looking stunning in her new dress. The evening was fun and an eye opener. Never have been to an event like this we were both pleased with how enjoyable it was.
First Wife walked past Graham Cole, PC Stamp in The Bill, we saw Eric Hall, Ron Atkinson and Andrew Sachs. I actually got to talk to Pete Murray and Graham Cole after winning an HDTV DVD palyer in the raffle. At £20 a book, it was an expensive investment, but was the first time in years that I'd won anything.
Wife was very surprised when even I cut some shapes on the dance floor. The view from the expensive hotel room was wonderful. You could see the city of London on oe side and the new Wembley stadium on the other.
Sunday morning saw things go downhill rather quickly. We received a call from FW's sister to tell us that her mum had gone into hospital on Saturday after a stroke. Other news was vague. FW decided that she'd head home to see the family later in the week.
As we headed home we received another call to say that the doctors had advised that the entire should be there ASAP. FW decided that as soon as we hit home she'd get the next train down.
I decided that it would be way quicker for me to drive down and then back up ready for work on Monday. So, 20 minutes after getting home we headed back out.
On the way down her dad rang to say that things were a little better than reported and that we weren't to worry. When we got there we found that her mum had come round and, though unable to speak, was able to communicate and recognise people.
The latest up date I had is as follows:
1. She good get better quickly or slowly;
2. She could get worse quickly or slowly;
3. She could stay the same.
As soon as I hear more I'll update.
I know that some of you are already aware of this. To those friends, I'd like to thank them for their thoughts and prayers. We know that you'll be thinking of the family and hold them in your hearts.
