Sunday 23rd May 2010 (10pm-ish)
Two blogs in one day! Just wanted to write down my thoughts about today. After abandoning our day out, John declared at lunchtime that he was feeling up to going out for a meal. I wasn't so sure but he was insistent and we went to one of our favourite pubs - The Fisherman's Haunt.
What a disappointment. We ordered two Sunday lunches - beef and pork - which were virtually tasteless. Don't know if they've changed the chef but, if they have, they should sack him. The food there has always been so good but not this time.
Afterwards, we drove to Christchurch Quay for a walk with Gemma the dog but John was feeling so poorly by then that we had to keep sitting down. Everyone around us was enjoying the sunshine and there we were, struggling to have a nice time and failing miserably. Even Gemma seemed to sense something was wrong and she wasn't her usual bubbly self.
So now I'm sitting and typing this and John is lying on the sofa where he's been since we got home, absolutely wiped out. His tummy hurts, he's feeling sick and his groins are sore and I can't do a thing about it.
Nobody's phoned this weekend to see how we're doing and nobody's come to see us. I don't feel like phoning them because it would only be a tale of woe and there's nothing they can do about it but I do feel a bit let down.
And so to bed.
