It is a bit fatuous to refer to our normal Thursday as being planned, but today we scrapped it. I had woken up early, as usual and went to get out of bed only to become immensely dizzy. Diane took charge, and I was told to lie down and stay put for a while. It was nearly 9 a.m. before I ventured out of bed with enough confidence to walk to the bathroom without holding the walls.
I ventured downstairs and sat quietly while Diane sorted out Jasper, cancelled Lottie, and checked the shopping list I had prepared yesterday. I decided we would get Sainsbury's to deliver and booked a slot for tomorrow. ~Diane popped out for a while to do some clothes shopping, and I tried to potter about the house. I certainly wasn't up to a proper walk.
After a lighter lunch than usual, I took my Kindle to the Orangery and settled down for a quiet afternoon. Upstairs, Diane was finishing off her latest sewing project. I was feeling a bit better and was able to move about with a lot more confidence. Mid-afternoon, the heavens opened and we had an hour or two of thunder, lightning, and torrential rain. It has certainly reduced the humidity.
I received a call from the Solicitor. Our new will has now been checked and filed and is now in force. The trusts that we have set up will take a little bit longer, but they will contact us when they are complete.
I am feeling a lot better now and have just cooked dinner, which we both enjoyed. In fact, Di asked if there was enough left over for tomorrow.
Well, that was a totally unexpected day. Very lazy, but hopefully restorative.
