Confidential waste

I got up early, Lorraine lying in a bit, and made sure Sam was up as he was travelling up to Scotland today to see Jade. Took Mrs Kenny a cup of tea, then got to work with Keith for a few hours finalising the concepts we had been working on.

This done, Lorraine and I drove off to Bolney, my lightning tracker app going off in my pocket as the rain started to fall, and went to her office, and started clearing out the many presents and flowers and cards she had been given, then spent some hours throwing things away, and feeding the confidential waste bin, a bit like the Fall of Saigon but with fewer helicopters. It was  therapeutic for both of us. We broke off for a late lunch at the Eight Bells across the street. Felt strange to be going for lunch with Lorraine on a weekday. Then we went back to her office until she'd had enough sorting out, and we drove home. The slow dawning of Lorraine's new freedom still has some time to go, she'll have a lot of work to do next week, but she can do it in her own time. 

Home and very relaxed this evening. Although I somehow got loads of invisible needles from Lorraine's enormous office cactus in my hand which is really annoying. We didn't have dinner as we'd had a big lunch. Just snacked. Still not feeling entirely perky from the weird queasy bug, but so nice to be home, with the huge cloud of responsibility beginning to lift. It is a new era for Lorraine and me as well.
