Hard day...

Today has been long and hard and I have every sympathy for people who work in restaurants and cafes in holiday resorts which are busy for the summer months!

First thing this morning we took Keith into hospital for his second angioplasty. I dropped him off at 7.30am and hated to see him walk off on his own, but we'd agreed that it would be best as we couldn't stay with him anyway.

Work was manic and I had three lost children (not all at once!) who wanted their mums and couldn't find them. I spent half the time patrolling the play area and shouting at naughty children and the other half frantically serving and clearing tables. Sophie was brilliant today - she served and went on the till all day and we really couldn't have done without her. She'll earn a nice fat pay packet at the end of the week!

Keith's angioplasty didn't go as well as planned and he's been transferred to the John Radcliffe Hospital in Oxford where they are going to keep an eye on him overnight as he had chest pains after the surgery. In a way I'm very relieved as he's in the right place and I just hope we can get it all sorted out.

So...a very tired and weary Janie is just about to go off to bed to try and get a good night's sleep!

It sounds like you had a hectic day, Jane, and with the worry over Keith too. But as you said, Keith is in the best place possible. I enjoy reading your jottings, keep them coming.

Thank you very much, jiggy! Keith is at home and watching sport - sounds like he's going to have a good weekend!
