Well, i have been away for a long time!
Going to Toms on Thursday and returning on Friday didn't happen. We decided that as we had nothing to come back for we would get the jobs done for Tom and spend a couple of days looking around Yorkshire. That didn't happen either!
We arrived in good time so we could get cracking. Tom bless him manages well but we had a few repair jobs and the gardening! That took most of our time.
It was hang a couple of doors, sort some electrics out, put up a couple of replacement curtain tracks, and gardening!. It was Easter as well so the shops were not open at regular times.
Eating well we had take aways!!! so bang went the diet. Had a nice Chinese, cant remember the last time we had one of those.
Toms bed, well that took some negotiating, modern new fangled thing that is. Why cant he have a normal bed. Much hilarity over getting in and out of that,. Each night resulted in another chapter of events!!
We didn't take enough clothes to change into! well it was OK for Tim because he squeezed into some of Toms t shirts but me? i had to buy some new bits!!! i couldn't wait for the washing to dry!! well that's my excuse.
We had a lovely picnic in the park one of our days and we walked miles every evening. We were exhausted by the end of every day. I have some pics which i will put on some time this week! lord only knows when i will get time.
It was so nice to do some washing only to find that Tom had still kept some of Mikeys clothes that Mike had said he could have when he left them here at the beginning of last year. I took some pics of those too. How sad am i to treasure those. A shirt that had age 14yrs! inside even though he was an adult, always a job to get things that fit well! as i was doing the buttons up after ironing it, i thought of Mikey and when was the last time i ever did a shirt up for him, come to that when anyone did. I thought the last time must have been when he was being made ready for his funeral and resented that someone else had that task. It was a bitter sweet feeling doing those buttons up and was so grateful to be able to wash and iron some of his clothes even though they were now Toms. So i thought of his rucksack that still sits here beside his bed. The one Claires dad gave us when we took his ashes up, still with the items of clothing inside. Waiting..........
So we had our break, we heard fro Tom twice and on the last call it was tell us he had woken up in his hotel room to find someone in his room going through he pockets of his jeans!!! he shouted and they ran off. How scary is that. So i worry still!! thank goodness it will soon be Sunday and he will be home again!
Anyway Olympic tickets applied for and hope we are lucky closing ceremony is on the 12th August the same day Mikey died, isn't that strange. To think his wish was to live to see them. I hope we are lucky enough to be able to do that for him, we will have to wait and see.
Today we can apply for the Marathon lottery! goodness i hope we manage that as well, time will tell.
So now its some really tough training because it will soon be here! and I'm not ready, not yet. Back to the diet and that means some will power. Ah well it will all be worth it i hope.
So to bed now and ready for work tomorrow back on the treadmill ! how long to wait for a holiday and not a working one? Tim says he is ready now, gosh it was strange to see him climbing between sheds and up into trees! i had my eyes closed on more than one occasion!
I hope to improve my blogging from now on but for now, tomorrow is another day...............
