Not much happened today. It rained all day long without letting up once. Kayleigh was a sport and was going to go up to town with Joy & Brian when they went to do the shopping this morning, and I watched until they rounded the corner of the road before I sat down at the computer, but two minutes later she was in the door—she was too cold, so Brian walked her back. We didn’t bring the right clothes!
This afternoon I came over all sleepy and my head felt as heavy as a bowling ball on top of my neck, so I lay down in the end bedroom and cuddled Kayleigh for a while (she forced me to read a couple of books to her as the price of a cuddle) and then Jonathan (I let him play Peggle on my iPod so that I could cuddle him—he kept me warm). Not a bad way to spend an afternoon.
This evening I sat in Joy’s craft room and came up with a great birthday card for Jonathan from things I’d gotten yesterday. Very pleased with myself! Even Dale said it looked great, and said it with enthusiasm, before the glaze began to creep over his eyes :-).
Tomorrow, however, we must go somewhere. Anywhere! It makes it harder that I am so limited here since I can’t drive. We would have gone to see a movie in Basildon today if we had transport, but a train required 2 or 3 changes, and the bus didn’t let off anywhere near the movie theatre, which is why I ended up dozing in bed. If nothing else, we’ll go to the library and stop in at Costa Coffee for hot chocolate on the way back.
