Life

Aila is recently an outpatient but had to go back into hospital in apparently fairly dramatic fashion. She is now stable and doing ok again though.

We went to Cambridge at the weekend to catch up with my fam. My cousin Sarah’s kids are so kind and solicitous with ours. I can’t help but feel like ours wouldn’t/won’t be quite as good when they’re the same age. The sun was out and it was very pleasant. The kids even got some very late Christmas presents from Leanne and Dave which were very well received. But the day was definitely slightly coloured by my uncle telling me that his GP had said he’s exhibiting early signs of dementia. And then I brought it up with Sarah because I assumed she knew, but it turned out I was giving her the news.

Sunday we drove round to Si and Lou’s for a picnic in their garden in what were not quite clement enough conditions but we were British and committed. Αα was bants, Ηη was a bit of a prick.

I’m really suffering after being back at track on Tuesday. I could probably aid my recovery by sleeping more/earlier and drinking less/less often, but somehow I never manage. I think I’m running the risk of assuming that since I’ve decided that I’m going to try and run a fast marathon that the fitness will magically arrive unbidden.
