My friend Lynn has been staying here this week as sadly her has father passed away. Our house is closer to her parents home so staying here makes it easier for her to be with her mother in order to make the funeral arrangements etc. It's all very difficult, and although her father has been very ill for a long time, it is still hard to come to terms with the loss.
Fortunately this weekend has been more fun. Ryan is working in a place called Rugby (approx. 70 miles north of here) and drove down to see us for Friday night and Saturday before going back to work all night on site - not something he was looking forward to!
After moving John's office we were left with the home computer on the floor in the end room downstairs which forced us into sourcing a small office desk - sounds easy so far eh? However it came flat packed and John had to spend heaven only knows how much time putting it together (partly due to the invaluable help that Betsy gave whilst he was assembling it).
The room is back together now and looks a lot better. We have moved the sofa bed in which will give us another bedroom for when we have guests staying over.
It's Sunday morning and we are feeling a little the worse for wear as Irene, Robert, Andrea & Simon came over for dinner last night and we drank a serious amount of alcohol - it had to be done as we hadn't met up for a while and had lots of chat to catch up on which obviously made us very thirsty!
