U.K. Duty Visit - Day 2

Having been picked up at the airport we sailed along back to Eastbourne, with little traffic problems as it was still early on a Sunday. The day was largely dull, but had a few bright moments. I felt like I was surviving on half a brain pretty much all day and despite falling into a number of brief cat-naps I managed to survive the whole day without falling into a major sleep at an inappropriate time. On that subject I did go to bed fairly early and proceeded to sleep about 10 hours straight!

After settling in and relaxing for a while we drove down to the front and took a nice brisk walk which did all of us good. From there we headed to the nursing home where Pam & I visited with Mum-mum while Nick either did errands or read a paper in the lounge area. Mum-mum was obviously happy to see us, although sustained conversation was difficult but mutually doing a crossword helped. We had coffee together and eventually made our escape as lunchtime approached.

Pam had previously prepared a stew which she heated while vegetables cooked and we had a nice late lunch. The rest of the day was just talking, reading, playing with PCs and watching TV. The Vodafone thing works, once set-up, on John's PC (allowing Internet & hence this blog) but we can not access Flickr until we somehow manage to convince Vodafone that we are "over 18 years old!!!!") We'll try and do that Monday.
