Re: Leisurely Scribbles (part 5)
I haven’t been around lately, I let the work pile up, kept putting jobs on the long finger until finally the pressure was on to clear it all out. the best way to do this is stay away from the TV, the pub, and the computer and concentrate on getting the work done, a Trappist Monk has a better social life than I’ve had the past week.
Just as I had everything squared up we got a phone call from Wexford informing us that the wife’s sister is gravely ill, she’s a widow (88) and lives with her handicapped adult son, Phyllis is very close to her remaining sisters so naturally she wants to be with her just in case the worst comes to the worst, which is expected anyway, so the arrangement is we stay down in Wexford for a while.
We’ll be heading down there by train tomorrow and if our stay is longer than two weeks I’ll have to return to Dublin on me own to finish some more work and take the dog home from my daughter’s house, she’s looking after him for us, n’er a dull moment eh!, you never know what’s around the next corner do you, as they say, how do you make God laugh?… you make plans.
So I’ll see you all when I get the chance, take good care of yourselves.
