BAD START TO THE WEEK

Unfortunately Monday morning started very badly. A phone call at 08.15 from Katy started it all. Her car had been hit at the back by a van when it was stood at traffic lights. She was ok but has suffered a bit of "whiplash" so didn't go to work for a few days - very sensible. The car will take a good 2 weeks to repair. Not Katy's fault but little consolation. Grandad decided he would go to Hull on the train and missed it by 30 seconds !! Had to wait nearly an hour for the next one. Leaves on the line was the excuse !! He has managed 4 films this week. "Zack and Miri Make a P****" (comedy), Baader-Meinhof Complex, Quantum of Solace, and Max Payne. He's fully equipped to award the Oscars now. By the way he missed the train back from Hull on Monday as well but then it didn't matter too much, they were back to running every half hour (although this one was 10 minutes late) Tuesday saw Grandad go for his diabetic check up and all was ok apart from cholesterol which was up a bit. He followed that with a trip to the local hospital for continued investigation into his akneemea. Now he has to go to a hospital in Hull when they put tubes into him from both ends. He is a real HOSPIPHOBE so the kicking and screaming have yet to start.

Dawn had to go to school on Friday dressed in "Tudor" costume so Nana spent most of Thursday making her a dress. The picture is shown above. They have been doing The Tudors in history at school. A few more Tiggers have arrived on the scene - A Halloween Trick or Treat one, A Cowboy one, a winter skier and a big hot water bottle cover. Not bad for a week's Tigger work!!

He missed two as well being outbid by miles.
