Due to shopping a day earlier than usual we hadn’t yet visited our local butcher to purchase the meat to accompany our meal options for the next few days.

This led to ‘Fish Friday’ being ‘Fish Thursday’ and our Saturday curry night become ‘Curry Friday’.

We might be back on track by Sunday

PS: The curry was delicious

“VE Day stands for Victory in Europe day, a key event at the end of WW2.

On 8 May 1945 people all over the world celebrated Germany’s surrender, which had been agreed the previous day.

It comes ahead of VJ Day – Victory in Japan Day – on 15 August which commemorates the end of the war.”

Later, following a visit with my mum there was fine dining at Chez Nous.

The fish was the main ingredient. I haven’t quite got the hang of photography angles in my new kitchen.

I have had two days where I wasn’t in control of my own time.

My car broke down last week on the way home from a visit to mum in the care home where she is temporarily placed for medical assessment. My car couldn’t be repaired at the roadside and had to be recovered to my dealership the following morning. The faulty part needed to be ordered so I had a few days without my car.

It should have been ready on Monday but it wasn’t. This meant that Mr C had to run me to and from Attingham Park for my Tuesday volunteering, after which he took me to collect my car and then it was time to visit mum.

On Wednesday Mr C was working away from home, he had placed an order that was due to be delivered that day. I was also waiting for a call from Mum’s Social worker. This meant staying at home until both things had happened. The call was late afternoon and shortly after whilst I was still on the call the delivery arrived! It was now time for me to visit my mum later than I intended.

This morning I woke up bright and early with my alarm, it was annoying me so I turned it off. Next thing I knew I had overslept. Rather than rush out I decided to have a chill out morning with a cup of tea and a bath before my afternoon volunteering in a local school.

I enjoyed my sunshiny walk to and from the school and reading with the children who were especially joyful today.

Later I briefly visited mum, she was not herself and sent me away. Much later I enjoyed ‘Fine Dining’ at Chez Nous.
