Lace

After getting the washing out to dry (and it did) I took the bike in to get some work done (lower gears and a full service) before walking up to church for Foodbank. The legs were a bit heavy after yesterday but it was a beautiful morning and I didn't need to hurry.
Mr Rat had the car so I didn't need to walk home which meant I had time for a wander round the garden. A few things are coming out, the wood pigeons have been eating others and a pair of starlings were chattering about their usual nesting site.
Various bits and pieces in the afternoon and then a new person at the running group. I had to be away early so was able to take her out for a shorter run/walk at her own pace and she managed better than she expected.
From there I went on to the Community Centre Management Group where I take the minutes, sometimes that's a nightmare but today they were fine.
P.S. Meant to add: Mum had been making slow progress but her pneumonia flared up again and so she is back on antibiotics. Still no-one is allowed to see her (it would be good for my brother to be able to discuss with her what she wants treatment-wise), it seems almost impossible to get to speak to a senior doctor and the ward rarely have time to help her phone any of us. All very frustrating, though there must be 100s of other families equally frustrated.
