It seems the next three days will be busy. First, Lyn is coming up tomorrow, just for the afternoon. I’m going to show her Crewe. Thing is, she’ll be alone – without a PA – so I’m slightly concerned. What if something happens? I can barely look after myself, let alone a woman. Well, if the worst comes to the worst, Esther doesn’t live too far away.

On Monday, dad’s coming, bringing housing forms to fill in. this will probably be very dull, but hopefully we’ll do it in the wes over a few coffees. Coffee makes form-filling easier.

Tuesday should be more fun. A meeting with Alan, which I’m optimistic about, then I’m off to Chester for an evening with the joneses. Charlie is putting on what she describes as a ‘year 7 visual and performing arts evening’, and has invited me. Sounds great fun. My one concern is getting my new chair, which dad brought back to me on Monday, through their front door, as it’s heavier than the other one. I think I’ll ask if I can put it in their garage instead.

All in all, a busy few days. Well, at least I’m not bored.
