Mon and Tues 13th Oct

I got up and spent some time on line with my coffee, i seem to be loosing interest in the farmville app but am keeping it going. I had a bit of a fiddle about with the loose tile in the roof to see what i could do but it was clear i needed the advice of a professional so i gave Marion a phone to see if she could recommend someone, she could but didn't know his number so i had to phone Maggie, who gave me his number and i left a message, fortunately it didn't rain. I gave David a call in hospital, he said he was much better and had high hopes of being released so fingers crossed. I did a bit of sorting out of the house, still bits left from the party, and spent some time with the dogs. In the afternoon i had another session on line, then Mark phoned to say David would not be released today, perhaps not untill Friday, so that will please him.
A quiet evening in front of the tv for a change then off to bed for a read, i have moved to one of the spare rooms, which i don't really like as i am used to my own bed, but i got a good nights sleep.
Ant due home on Tuesday so i did the customary housework to get the place sorted for his return. He phoned mid morning to say he was home, which was good, then later phoned to say he had a seat on the flight, so i headed off to Brussels to pick him up, the usual humdrum journey up there. When i got there he was not stood at the kiss and drop so i circled round again, still not there so i parked the car and went in to arrivals. I stood about for about twenty mins and still no sign, i thought he was possibly stood in the wrong place so i went and had a look for him, no sign, so i decided to give him a call. He had been taken off the flight he was supposed to be on and put on the next one so i had a good hour to sit about and wait. I didn't mind this too much had a mooch around a couple of the shops then sat and watched folks coming and going in arrivals, airports are such unpleasant places.
He eventually arrived, apologetic and annoyed that he had been offloaded, we headed home, got stuck in the rush hour traffic on the Brussels ring road and then i took a wrong turn and had to double back, quite unusual for me. We finally made it home by seven forty, a whole seven hours after i had set off. The dogs were delighted to see us, unsurprisingly, and i set to on a cottage pie whilst ant sorted himself out. We had a relaxing night in front of the tv whilst ant slipped in and out of sleep, making the odd comment then snoring, a lovely evening. We headed up to bed by eleven and i sat and read for a bit, which ant took to signify i was in a mood with him, which may have held the tiniest grain of truth. When we settled down to go to sleep i was either too hot, or too cold, itchy for some reason, and just unable to get to sleep, eventually i gave up and moved back to our bedroom, read a little longer then headed off to sleep.
