Alarms and Songs

A phone call around 5:15 from Maureen who was not feeling good. Lorraine immediately got dressed and drove around. I woke up a bit and walked around in the dark, on pavements sparkling with frost. I got there just as the paramedics arrived. Maureen's ECG was okay, but they recommended she go to hospital for a blood test -- to check if there had been a cardiac event. Lorraine drove Pat and I home, and then drove to Eastbourne to be with Maureen. Thankfully A&E was quiet, and Maureen was later released back into the wild after what had been a bout of angina.

At home with Pat I made him some breakfast and we listened, with Pat singing along, to my crooners playlist on Spotify. Touched to see him singing along to Unforgettable by Nat King Cole. Then a bit of a Death in Paradise marathon, watching several episodes till lunch. Then Beth and James called around early in the afternoon.  Not long after they arrived I got a call from Lorraine on the way home with Maureen. 

All well. Maureen and Pat having a sleep on the gold sofa this afternoon. Beth and James left. Lorraine did some shopping then I cooked for us, and chatted to the Tobster now safely back in DC.

Lorraine and I took Patrick and Maureen back home, and returned to settle on the gold sofa for a restorative glass of wine on the gold sofa, and an early night.

Below Pat singing quietly to himself to Unforgettable.
