Well as you might realise if you have noticed my change of clothing; the weather here in Peterborough is atrocious! It has been raining really heavily for over 36 hours and the winds are now quite high. It looks like a stormy November night! Terrible. Apparently it will be the same tomorrow, so not much chance for Simon to progress in the garden.
Yesterday was spent catching up with jobs and then we went out for a meal in the evening. We had planned to go to a really nice pub that does excellent food called The White Horse at Ufford. Unfortunately when we got there and asked for a table for 2 they said they were fully booked. We were tempted to ask why there were only 2 other people there!
We decided that our best bet would be to go to another pub over near school called the Paul Pry. It is part of a chain and is cheaper, but the food is still quite nice. When we got there we were told it would be a forty minute wait for a table! As I had not had any lunch and was starving we decided that was too long to wait.
After driving around a while, we went to another pub called the Hungry Horse. It is a cheap and cheerful kind of place geared to families. We have been there before, some years back and it was acceptable. Yesterday it was very mediocre. Simon opted for fish and chips and I had Gammon and eggs. I think Simon's was OK but mine wasn't great. The egg was solid and the gammon was salty!
We decided to miss the dessert and to go to Sainsburys on the way home for strawberries, clotted cream and Cornish ice cream. Guess what? They didn't have any strawberries or clotted cream! We eventually had a very nice dessert of fresh raspberries in meringue nests with cream. We are going to phone up tomorrow morning and hopefully go to the White Horse tomorrow evening.
Today we went up to Stevenage to visit my Mum. We picked Dad up to take him as well. It was not a good visit. Mum was not good today at all and I don't think she knew any of us. She wasn't able to make any kind of sense. We took Dad home and left him all upset. We didn't stay because I had already got myself upset at the hospital and I knew that I was going to get really upset once Dad had gone. I gave myself a headache with crying! The journey both ways was a nightmare because of the rain.
Still tomorrow is a new day and no doubt I will have pulled myself together.
