Sheila arrived

We managed to solve the problem of parking at the airport and even got the wheelchair to the arrival lounge on time. It was too late to get down to the village that evening, so we slept in BP and left the following morning. We popped into Tesco in Godollo where we managed to leave a whole large bag behind full of cold and frozen stuff. Poor old Roy had to drive back to Godollo for it, which he managed in just over 2 hours, including some more shopping for things we also forgot.

After this extreme example of a "senior moment" life slowly got back to normal. So far we have been to Bokor to buy some ewe's cheese with garlic, which was fun as we took Nelly (whose idea the trip was in the first place) and drove through the forest where you are not supposed to enter. We returned on the legal highway and saw some lovely views. Until today the weather has been good, but there is rain forecast.

Roy managed to do some family history for a friend and also mowed most of the garden. This morning we had a bit of excitement when an enormous truck tried to negotiate our lane without success. Finally Pali's IFA pulled him up as in spite of being a Mercedes truck it was a gutless wonder. They took away Zoli's fire wood without any further mishap.

In the morning Sheila started hemming our lounge curtains, then we cut and fitted our enlarged photos into the lovely frames we bought last week. Sheila has already packed hers ready to take home. The picture above is the one she had, but we have a copy too. The other ones were of the full facial one of Callum with the dark blue hat on and the one on the beach when the surf is hitting him from behind.

In the afternoon we watched a bit of TV and then had a long Skype conversation with Callum which really cheered us up. He was playing with lots of toys, showed off his newly acquired skill of walking and then had fromage frais with strawberries for afternoon tea.

If the weather turns wet we will be housebound, so more time in front of the TV, sewing curtains, working on the computer and reading books will be on the cards.
