Tunnel Vision

A busy and varied day.   Jamie set off to see Clara in Southampton this morning.  I accompanied him to Birmingham New Street and was reminded of my childhood travels on the London Underground as we sped in from Bourneville.

Then it was back to Ruth's new place where cleaning remains a do-it-first kind of job.   After lunch we returned across the city centre to her old place where after some frantic lastminute box sealing and labelling, the removals men turned up.   A small business local to her new home, cheap and cheerful (despite the rain and traffic chaos) they had everything packed up pretty speedily and for a small extra fee they collected a fridge freezer from the store on their way back to Ruth's new place.   My car was also filled with stuff but as my tummy was rumbling, I popped to the nearest supermarket and bought our tea before unloading.  We had intended to stop and sit after eating but the call of the cleaning jobs was too loud!   Think we'll sleep well tonight!
