Monday 10th May

We woke at four forty five and got ready with bleary eyes, had coffee and woke. I drove ant to St Pol and put him on the train. I came back and waited for the morning to be a reasonable time, watched the news went online and did a little civilization. I was supposed to be going for a walk with Marte in the afternoon put it was a windy, if sunny day so i presumed she would not show. I did manage to get through all the washing, four loads!! so that was good, i spent part of the day civilizing and part of the day reading, i still cant believe Rufus has not got his comeuppance and it seems the situation is about to get worse.
Jackie skyped late afternoon to inform me that strike dates had been announced, twenty days in all!! I was a little devastated by this at first, but then thought we will just have to find a way through it, can't wait till all this is behind us. Ironically the dates start when mum arrives and last until she is safely esconced in the uk, so ant will be home the whole time she is here. I watched tv in the evening, bit of Glee and the usual stuff, chatted to ant on skype just before going to sleep.
