It doesn't seem nearly a week since my last blog, but it must have been since last Saturday was my last one. The week has been mainly mundane things, such as going to the gym and Toads on Tuesday. We were supposed to go Wednesday as well, but at the last minute Yvonne phoned to say she couldn't go and Val was other wise engaged so of course that ruled out my going. I think I must get a bike as I am totally dependent on people giving me lifts to places such as Toads and swimming. That brings me to the fact that I won't be going there on Saturday either, as Joy of Joys, Charlotte has asked me to have Lucy tomorrow afternoon until Saturday morning when I shall be taking her back into Birmingham to meet Char so that Lucy can go to her dance class. Anyone reading this will now know that having my granddaughter, if only for a little while, means more to me than a thousand swimming sessions. Rob has had to go to Sweden this week, from his texts, it appears that he had quite a journey to get to his destination, but I'm sure he made it safely. He's a big boy and a seasoned traveller. It looks as if Stuart will be looking for a new flat shortly, as his landlord has decided to sell the flat that Stu rents from him. He did think about buying it, but unfortunately his funds are like many others, not big enough. I hope he doesn't have too much trouble finding the right place as he really wants to stay near where he lives now, I keep praying that a miracle would occur and the premium bond that I bought Eric way back at Christmas 1961 would come up. All these years and not a sniff of a prize, not even a tenner. I suppose the winners are all people who have the funds to buy blocks of thousands of pounds. In fact I think I have only ever heard of a few people winning anything, perhaps it's all a con !
