W just returned to find me still up! Met her at the car as normal - there's strange people out there!
W says sister says hi. W picked her up from AirPort (not an Apple airport) this morning. W is puzzled why the rest of the family isn't closing ranks against me! (Unlike last time)
Practiced my "lesson" - "I'm putting the kettle on. Can I make you something?" - thanks bug! Still got a no thank you I'll make my own chocolate - but it had a thank you in there!
iPhone went "ping". Facebook comment posted against a photo I'd just uploaded of our Jack Russel. W smiled. Showed her one more of the beautiful sunny day in Cape Town but with a huge fog bank over the Northern Suburbs - which my wife was under
Asked about he leg and if she'd like my slightly used hot water bottle. It's fine, I'll use the bean bag but thank you (again!!!)
Finally I mentioned the empty vitamin bottle and gave her our medical aid card. "Use this to buy some more". W says "but I thought you said we mustn't use it for everyday items just dental appointments and things like that". My reply "sod it - we have a day-to-day portion which we can use for anything and after last year we damn well will use it. Or we'll get to the end of this year, not use it and lose it". Result - puzzled look and another thank you. And she's going to buy some for me while she's at the pharmacy!
