An unexpected trip

I went into work for just under two hours this morning, mainly to see Sheila and to go through a couple of work things. I knew that Daphne was due to be in, and as there was nowhere else for her to sit, I thought it was prudent to leave when she came in. This means that I can finish early tomorrow and go to see my Mum in the afternoon.

It felt lovely to walk out at about 10:00am and go home. Keith had an appointment with his GP at 11:15am, so I drove him over and waited in the car. His coughing is still almost constant, so it was great to sit in the car in silence and have some peace for half an hour! When he came out, he said the doctor had sent him for a chest X-ray, and we could go to Danetre Hospital in Daventry rather than Northampton General. He had also been given a third course of antibiotics, so we're hoping these will help banish the irritating cough he has!

It took us about half an hour to drive to Daventry, and we parked easily for free. Danetre Hospital is a lovely little hospital, and we had a cup of tea and a sandwich while waiting for the X-ray staff to return from their lunch. At 1:00pm we went down to the X-ray department, and Keith was seen straightaway. What an easy process!

From the hospital, we drove to a nearby Tesco to buy food for dinner over the next couple of days, and returned home, driving through the huge area of new builds around Duston. This whole area has changed and is unrecognisable from years ago.

At 4:00pm, our bathroom fitter arrived to look at the en suite ahead of the installation in late January. We discovered he'd been in the same year as Sophie at school and they knew each other! Small world!
