Storm Goretti

Sophie went to the gym as usual this morning, and I left the house again at 7.10am, managing to park easily and walk in. My short shift passed uneventfully, but I said goodbye to Sue, who won't be working with us after today. She has taken on more shifts at one of our other centres, which will be operated by Everyone Active from April 1st.

The weather until 2pm was grey and cold, and when I left, I decided to go home first to see Keith before visiting my Mum. I briefly spoke to Vince and Sue from next door, who were getting ready to see their daughter and granddaughters back to Australia. They had been visiting since mid-December, and Vince and Sue looked a bit worn out!

I popped over to Kettering to see Mum, who wasn't with it today, and we had a long chat with one of the senior carers. I tried to sort out her TV set as she wasn't receiving some channels, but failed. It was turning out to be one of those days!

When I left, it had started raining, and the weather was awful! The storm was approaching! I had messaged my friend Sue, who was now living in Cornwall, as the region had a Red warning for wind! I told her to stay safe!

I was heartily relieved when Sophie arrived home, as the rain turned to sleet, and then big, fat flakes of snow, carpeting the roads and paths outside. If it had continued all night, we would definitely have had a snow day tomorrow!
