It has been a busy day! It started off early- me and Kathy were out the door by 6 for a walk. It was raining, but neither of us mind that! We walked miles, down to Heanton Court and back.
We got back by half ten, and I had a bath to dry off and warm up. Just as I got out, the doorbell rang- it was Ralph and Ang, to see how I am. It was lovely to see them! We had several cups of tea, and we ate a cake which Ang had made. He is a cracking cook!
When they left- about 1- the phone rang, and it was Patrick, to see how I am. He had not read this diary, and was as surprised as I was about what Maureen had left me! He was as chuffed for me as I was, and he said I should treat myself- he said I deserved it.
Well, as soon as I put the phone down, the doorbell went again- it was Alma! It was nice to see her, and I took her out to Weatherspoons, to treat her to a meal, to say thank you for all her support the last few weeks. She is lovely company, and I am lucky to have her as a friend. I had gammon, and she had a burger. She also has had quite a few drinks (I have not drunk yet- I know that the emotions will pour out of me as I pour the drink in), and she is currently sleeping on the settee; looks like she is there for the night.
I am so lucky to have such great friends.
Still, I do miss my Maureen.
Yours sincerely
Raymond Williams
