Well what a weekend it has been. Saturday night we were supposed to be going to an anniversary party being held by fellow ‘fish’ Josher owners of Trout Dave and Karen in a field up above Hoo Mill in a marquee. But in the end this was not to be. Saturday morning and Dawn went off to work and I went off down Minnow to work, at about 1.00pm Dawn phoned me to say that her mother had fell in the kitchen at home and broken her hip and could I come home and meet her at her shop to go over to the hospital in West Bromwich We did and sat with her mom and dad until the doctor and surgeon came round and explained what would be happening and that she would be going down to theatre about 9.30am on Sunday morning. By now it was after 8.00pm and we came away leaving Dawn’s Dad and elder sister with her Mom. At this time neither of us had had anything to eat and was really hungry so we stopped off to collect some battered chips. By the time we had got home and devoured these chips it was about 9.30pm and far too late to be going to the party.
Sunday morning we received a phone call from Dawn’s dad saying that the operation had been cancelled and that her Mom would not be going down to theatre until Monday morning. We arranged to go over and visit her Mom on Sunday evening and to pick her Dad and elder sister up on the way. After breakfast Dawn did her housework while I went down Minnow for a couple of hours. I repaired three of the false floors with timber re-cycled from a pallet that was lying about the yard and gave them a coat of my mixture. With this done, all the false floors are now finished and I am now ready to start on other jobs. I came back home about 3.30pm and had dinner, after which we went over to pick up Dawn’s Dad and visit her mom in hospital. She has now been told she will go for surgery tomorrow. Here’s hoping.
And just for the doctors and nurses,
Don’t bang ‘er about.
