25th June 2014

Went for a 6 mile walk this morning, got home to find Mr S had damaged his car by accident but he was absolutely heartbroken. He's cherished this car for nearly 25 years and one stupid mistake and he'll have to fix it. It's never had any body work done to it since it was made 40 years ago. Oh well, if anyone can fix it, he can.

I was only literally back for 5 minutes when the care home called. Dad's happy enough but he wants to go out and buy a bike. So I popped in to try and talk him out of it and took him for a walk too. He thinks he'll get fitter by cycling so he wants to buy one! Hopefully he'll forget this hair-brained scheme soon. Turns out he's been really happy the past few days. So much so, he shut one of the carers in his wardrobe as a joke and then pretended to eat the only strawberry the cook has managed to grow! He keeps saying he wants to go to Switzerland as euthanasia is legal there, and then say he wants to join a gym to get fit. Daft sod!

Went to the W.I. tonight and it was cocktails and canapés night, so lots of food tasting, cocktail tasting and then a competition at the end to make a table centre in ten minutes with ladies you had never spoken to before. It was a good laugh, but we didn't win!
