It has been quite a hectic couple of days. On Friday, we had a meeting about finances with a lady from social services. I don’t want to go into detail here, but it was rather stressful for all involved, especially Lyn. Fortunately, luck had it that dad was here at the same time, so he an Paula were able to give us some back-up. Dad had only come to drop off my other chair, as defiant needed to be taken for a service, so I rather sprang it upon him. Nevertheless, dad was superb.

My brother Luke was equally superb yesterday. My copy of Word hadn’t been working all week; we tried to fix it but nothing we did seemed to work. So we dragged Luke all the way here from up near Muswell hill. When he got here, he popped my computer on and found it working perfectly. I felt pretty awful, but it was great to see him and my machine needed a look at anyway. It’s now functioning well, and I can spell-check my blog entries again!

Yet best of all I got to see my brother, whom I hadn’t seen since Christmas – perhaps I should get my computer to go wrong more often. As I keep saying, life with Lyn is awesome, and I am more independant than ever, but it feels great to know I still have a family like mine behind me.
