Ten festive minutes!

Yesterday I was so unbelievably tired that I decided to take the day off today and my brother went to see Dad on his own; thankfully he was doing much better. Was meant to be resting up today but, at the same time as watching the Tour de France, pottered around, catching up on chores, which was actually restful, in a different kind of way.

When he got back from the hospital, walked to the park with D for the town's annual musical festival; managed to persuade him to stay for all of ten minutes! The bandstand you can see in the background was just one of the five stages, the park was packed. Would have loved to stay longer but D was eager to get back and start cooking. Plus ça change!

Thank you for your kind words and stars for yesterday's blip, a difficult day.
