A decent night then only a little persuasion was required to get T up and out. The three of us tucked into the car to pick up Brenda from Newbury.
We were there on time after a trouble free drive on A34 which was then followed by a more wiggly drive through lovely autumn colours to Bramley near Basingstoke.
Having dropped Brenda at Michael’s care home, T and I repaired to the Swan in Sherborne St John. It is a Chef and Brewer pub, so not exactly top of my list but we had a very nice meal, perfect size portions for T and dieters. H looked on – oh dear. She has such gorgeous eyes.
This tasty repast cost around half the price of a similar one in or around Moulsford. Memo to self: travel to Basingstoke to eat out in future.
Even better – I discovered a public footpath runs through the pub garden with a gate into a field beyond. So H got a good run around etc etc. Now that is worth remembering!
After we picked up Brenda to return home, we called in at the Base at Greenham and had a cup of coffee to make up for not getting one after our lunch. (The machine at the pub was on strike aka not working)
So Brenda and I had a good natter opportunity and T gave us his thoughts every so often.
It was actually a really good day out. It certainly suited T and myself.
We disposed of Brenda and returned home where we had a supper of soup and croutons. Nice!
TV followed where I drifted off once Strictly had finished. It was followed by Survivor. It is beginning to bore me because I find too many of the characters too annoying.
As I was going to bed, I bumped into T who was wandering around, carrying a plateful of choice snacks he had carefully prepared. I hope he ate them. I did not dare go into the kitchen for fear of what I might find.
He seems a bit better than he was this time last week. But it’s all relative.
Tomorrow’s excitement : Churchill Hospital appointment in Dermatology.
