Plans for ways to spend next week are coming
together nicely. The original idea was to simply use it as a ‘week from work’
and a chance to recharge and recuperate. Now, we seem to be cramming in as much
activity as possible. But can you blame us? Nearly four months of family
members missing out on seeing Mathew. A third of a year stuck at home, with our
only time out being spent in stressful work situations, where we both had to
learn a completely new way of achieving tasks that used to seem commonplace and
untesting? I think each and every one of us is desperate to get back to the
things we’ve been missing, and for us the top of the list is family.
We’re having another top-notch Chesworth BBQ at ours
next Monday. I shall purchase ridiculous amounts of quality meat from our
quality local butchers, and I shall happily cook outside while my son gets
reacquainted with both his aunties. We’re hoping to see Ted and Beryl too, but
we need to be careful on that one due to their age and vulnerability. Beryl
would happily walk from theirs to ours, being coughed at by confirmed Covid
cases all the way, if it meant she could cuddle our youngster, but we don’t
want to risk them getting ill on our account. We’d rather forego seeing them
for another month if it means we’ll get to spend the next few Christmases with
them.
