Spawn

Unusually bad night's sleep. Enjoyed breakfast with Lorraine, and general pottering about and a spell at my desk, plus the good clean fun of laundry. Lorraine was doing personal training and so on. I spoke to Mum during the day. Wynford called me this afternoon, and in the evening I spoke for 45 mins with Ben. Lovely how Mum's neighbours are so full of care for her. Ben thinks Mum should be doing Tai Chi.

A longish walk by the sea on a bright and sunny day. The sun puts a different complexion on things but I felt heavy hearted. I called Carl and it was great to talk to him, a touch of the Watson common sense was exactly what was needed.

Home, and Lorraine was back with Beth and Enzo. And our wildlife pond had frogspawn in it, that Lorraine brought over from Beth's garden. Beth is well, and had a long business call this afternoon with her work folks. Meanwhile Enzo literally a bouncing baby, and bouncing up and down with excitement quite a lot of the time. I bounced him on my knee and a little wee leaked out of his nappy onto my jeans. A small price to pay.

Snoozed this afternoon and before Lorraine's book group appeared en masse, with Lorraine cooking pancakes for them all. Party pooping, I kept my tentacles upstairs, packed my bag, etc. only slithering out of my lair after they had gone at a very sober 9:30 to be with Lorraine and eat the leftover crisps and watch a couple of episodes of Schitt's Creek. 

Lorraine and Enzo, both looking a little guarded.
