I took Huffty to football yesterday and his team had a moral boosting 8-0 win. Billy the Fish has twins a few years old than Notoplip's Sonic and my boy. Both of his twins (boy and girl) play competitive football and he came down to see how our boys were doing. It was pleasing that both boys played very well. I also received a call from Gandalf giving me an update on Swelly Belly during the match.
Elsewhere there was a little chaos as Cymraes and Grumpy's journey to London was severely hampered by an overnight accident on the M4 that had closed part of the motorway. Their two and a half hour journey metamorphosed into a six hour plus journey, which was not much fun for them at all.
Fortunately for me Billy the Fish was on hand to give me a lift home after football whilst Werthers took Huffty onto his afternoon party with their son Super Striker.
I had an appointment planned with the mad Canadian osteopath for 2:15pm. My parents were scheduled to take me to it but hadn't arrived, so I went under my own steam and took the train. What an enjoyable walk up hill to the station. Confirmation that I have absolutely no puff at all.
My dad was able finish his journey with a pint whilst they waited for me to finish my appointment, so at least his miserable journey had a happy ending.
Meanwhile in North Wales we are no further forward in knowing what is wrong with Kitten's mum because they have to wait for the lab and for a doctor. Apparently, hospitals don't have doctors on the weekend.
There is a contrast in the treatment that I receive from the NHS and normal experiences. Swelly Belly had to go to a different country to have her baby because of lack of facilities and Kitten's mother is waiting all weekend to see a doctor!
Kitten and Boogle are settled in North Wales now though and Cymraes and Grumpy are settled here.
Meanwhile the event of Huffty's weekend is whether or not I will be able to take him to Chelsea vs Blackpool today. Of course I shouldn't go because I haven't got the strength that I was born with, but food and the journey back are the only obstacles. On the way back everyone piles out together and I will be too hungry to hang around so the tube journey is very difficult.
I managed another three 500 calorie shakes yesterday and survive what was a busy physical day by my current standards though I wouldn't describe the experience as pleasant.
