Saturday

Oliver arrived at 2pm to pick up Florence and they went back to London.

Just as they left Nigel and family arrived. Sylvia and Arthur will spend hours doing anything craft related so they were soon happily occupied. Georgie is a little under the weather so was happy snuggled with hs mum.

It's been a wonderful Christmas but eventful; Clive had kidney stone trouble on Christmas eve. It happened before (about 10 years ago) so he recognised the pain. He was crying in agony and throwing up and it was 4 hours before paramedics arrived. We were all up all night and Clive on Gas and Air. Just as he was being loaded into the Ambulance to be admitted to Bath RUH, the stone passed. Clive was given morphine and was soon asleep whilst the rest of us took a while to calm down. 

We surfaced again at midday and made a dash to the care home to pick up M-in-L before they fed her Christmas lunch! I was asleep again by 5pm. the shortest ever Christmas Day!
