So, the great escape is allegedly happening, some of us have worked but then stayed in, in a cell of their own making, for what seems like the longest time, not unhappy simply trying to stay safe, so I thought I would do the nice thing and insist that we do something as a couple, venture out into the big bad world, it was a skill we both needed to relearn, it’s been such a long time.
The first
attempt failed, because of the weather, it rained and rained so we stayed in
the house together, something I think we were both happy about, so I laid yet
another cunning plan (can you see where this is going) and set a destination
for our taste of freedom, as the day got closer we were both nervous we could
see that, I had a little bit of work to carry out, the wife was at work on the Saturday,
so it worked quite well, there was no
nervous energy we did what we had to, the night was pleasant and we climbed the
wooden hill to go to the land of nod.
We awoke
the next day, and there it was a nervous energy, were we really going to do
this? damn, we were both a little snippy, so I tried to dial it back a little,
lets go somewhere closer to home ok, so we did we had a nice little drive, but
soon realised that there was nothing really to do, so we decided on another
location closer to this one, and same again a nice drive but nothing to take
our interest, then we get a call from our eldest who needed to borrow a small
suitcase so that the Hurricane could go on a school trip we were heading closer
to home so we decided to get some food from the Tesco close to home, literally
5 minutes in and out, at this point I noticed
that the wife was flagging and ever so just a little erratic.
She has a
condition that I am usually quite good at predicting, not this time she was
distracted as she parked the car in its
usual spot at home, she was distracted and not on point, she was flushed as
well it was then that the penny finally dropped, as we started to cross the
round she gripped my arm and I knew she was heading downwards, we were less
than twenty yards from our front door, just as I was telling to watch her
footing she went down and connected with the pavement, eyes rolled back into
her head, thankfully she recovered almost instantly but the look of shame that
her as an adult kissed the ground wasn’t far away.
I got her
lifted up and into the house, the rest of the day was me back in scrubs looking
after the patient, the day drifted and it seems that we are destined never to
escape, the rest of the week has had highs and lows and nothing to do with
football, but here’s hoping for an upward curve a friend from my real life got
a new job and another friend from my work life announced she was expecting a
baby at Christmas, two lovely people and I’m happy for both of them and we booked
to go and see a dear friend at the other end of the country so there has been
some good things happening.
So, the
escape will happen obviously I shouldn’t push it, it’s just when it does happen,
we haven’t got a clue what to do with it, the blog is still in a good place the
numbers are respectable about 75% of what I was doing towards the end…...allegedly.
Some peeps are catching up on the old ones and some nice comments have happened
along the way. I’m still not sure what I want to do as the music supply has
dried up, and if I am truly honest, I’m not really in a new music frame of mind
all the time, its my security blanket so I have been playing old favourites,
maybe that’s the way too go, I’m not sure just yet!
Let me know
what you lot think, it does matter, and yes you do have a voice in this,
monthly is working as I’m not stressing to hit a dead line and trying to be
positive all of the time, so that’s the blog for now enjoy and yes the name
game is in play it’s a song and an album title for the same band (damn that’s so
easy) I nearly went with a Marillion song title that wasn’t from the Fish Era, don’t
worry I gave my head a shake! So stay safe and look after yourself it will be
about a month until the next one and by then the shite about football either
way will be over(I hope) and no I don’t care either so don’t try and bait me
(OK Nils I know what you are like) until the next time watch the skies for
incoming……..Toodles!
