After my last blog I was phoned up to be told that the other half had been in an accident. By the sounds of it he was lucky to survive and that it wasn't much worse. He had been travelling from his parents house (in parents car) to Oxford when he must have blacked out. My guess it was a form of drug related collapse - but that is still up in the air. Anyway he crashed into another car - which was a write off. His car spun over and caught fire. He can remember nothing about that - all he remembers is waking up upside down with the car on fire and not being able to get out!It is only because of 2 volunteers that pulled him out that he didn't roast! Never a dull moment.
Anyway he ended up being taken to the JR with a hole for an elbow and we (me and the children) visited him at least twice a week and he was there for 2 months. He has been found accommodation and seems happier now. He has also been taking anti depressants as well as methadone.
I have had an interesting time catching up with old friends. I met up with a dear friend who lives in Spain with his partner. We hadn't seen each other for 15years. I also met up with another friend I used to share a bedsit tower with - whom I haven't seen for 20 years. Do you know it is so refreshing to find that they haven't changed and are still the wonderful people I knew back then. Also out of the blue came an email from another good friend who I haven't seen for 18 years! Memory land is a wonderful thing!
The children are good most of the time - but they have their ups and downs but I love them dearly. Our next door neighbour woke us up this morning shouting at her children. It is quiet distressing and frustrating as there is very little I can do. Any advice gratefully received. I had thought about putting a leaflet through their door for parenting classes. What do you think?
I am good and now started to think of myself and trying to get back into shape after 4 years in the wilderness of taking care of everyone else first. Now is my time and I intend to enjoy it.
Take care
