Going Normal

With my brother and his family at the Fox and Raven for dinner and tree climbing at the end of my second day spent mostly at the hospital with Dad. We all like the Fox and Raven - it's close by (walking distance) with garden, country view and nice menu here) and frequent frequently when I am home. It was good to do this 'normal' thing at the end of a far from normal day, spent as same as yesterday - morning @ home, afternoon and early evening @ hospital, evening @ brother's family - I think this will be the routine.

Back home again, full to bursting, Gareth (bro) left the kids and came to join me at Dad's house (three doors away) where we had uninterrupted brother/sister time as we talked until 2am, our conversation leaping between our today, our tomorrows and all our yesterdays.
