U.K. Duty Visit - Day 19

This was a day of varying activities. Nick went out to meet with the family lawyer/tax man for advice on his & Pam’s behalf. Pam made a huge start on Mum-Mum’s wardrobe, primarily making selections for Mum-Mum to choose from, especially the summer clothes she will need later in the year, as well as making up bundles of “charity shop” donations. I took advantage of Nick’s scanner that can scan & then separate for PC filing up to six separate pictures simultaneously; scanning the hardcopies I will take back to Indiana anyway.

To our astonishment the weather cleared for a while mid-morning treating us to some blue skies, sunshine & moderate temperatures so we all simultaneously proposed, as soon as Nick returned, that we take the walk we had hoped would have become “usual”. It was nice & refreshing. Once back, Pam & Nick left for a lunch with former Eastbourne friends, and I continued scanning before microwaving a chicken curry for my lunch.

By early afternoon it had become dismal again and later it started raining quite hard. We headed to the nursing home & Mum-Mum. There she chose the clothes she still wants and we marked them for laundry purposes & put them away for her in drawers and her wardrobe. After quite a lengthy stay with her we finally left and detoured to one of the nicer supermarkets for immediate supplies plus a few additional items for me to try & pack and take home.

I also found today that I can no longer access my bank account since the switch from IUB to First whatever, and I will be very glad to get back home & start getting my affairs in order again.
