Weekend stuff

So....this weekend was a designated respite weekend....hurrah.

It all started well.

Off went The Boy to the MMDC with his respite bag and a smile on his face.

On Friday, M and I binge watched series one and two of a programme we like, whilst eating unJboy friendly food in a carefree and decadent manner.

Saturday dawned. M gardened, I did my Russian exercises(the written kind you understand)  then ,together ,we went to the nearby grand metropolis to watch a ballet. We rounded off the day with a spot of reading. No Wallace or Gromit or Shaun the Sheep in sight. Twas positively delightful.

Today, Sunday, M made his way down the stairs to make tea. While he was there, the phone rang...it was the MMRC. Jboy was not well and needed us to collect him as soon as possible. So, off we went

On arrival, the Boy was lying on the floor, clearly not quite himself. He took a considerable amount of persuasion to get him in the car...

Everything was wrong. We don't collect him. He hadn't stayed his allocated time ...etc. Ill or not, he was not happy about leaving early.

However, on arrival home  he smiled then lay on the settee and has been there all day. To date we have watched WallE, Up x 2 and Ice Age on the dvd player...Wallace and Gromit have just made their debut for today....😱

Is it a bug or is it something they gave him to eat? I checked his daily diary and found that he had been given peach (guess what..he can't eat peach), spaghetti bolognaise(made with what ,I wonder..) and apple pie (you've got it..another no eat zone)...so who is to know whether this episode is food related or viral....?

Whatever the reason, the outcome is the same..although he hasn't exhibited either D or V since arriving home this morning.......it's a good job we hadn't taken the opportunity to fly off for a weekend break in Barcelona or Paris ( laughs slightly hysterically)(at the idea...and the dream of such a thing)

It confirms to us that respite is not to be taken for granted and to enjoy it while we have it, as it can be whipped away ....like a tablecoth from under a tea set. It also confirms that we can't plan grand holidays far away as we might be called back at any time....holidays within a 2 hour radius it is then.

Thankfully, we have always liked Norfolk!

Poor Jboy. Not himself at all....😥

Here's hoping that a good sleep and a bit of tlc will do the trick....then he will be back to mum-wrestling, hairpulling and the like...

The End
