PHEW! What a day!
Matinees - God they are hard work - there's always a medical crisis - poor old gal had over done it a bit and had to be carted off to Hospital for ECG monitoring.....she missed the show poor love and at 90 I bet she doesn't get the chance to go out that often either. I actually remember her from the Hospital Day Unit (when I used to work there) always immaculately presented - full make-up, colour coordinated - long painted red nails with a fantastically sunny disposition - even when being violently ill she said " well I'm not feeling too bright but mustn't grumble all things considered!" Oh there's no joy in being old I'm sure. but should I get the chance I want to be just like Rita.
Just to "put the icing on the cake"another lady came up to me and said "do you know it's 2 yrs to the day that Bert fell down the stairs here you were so nice to him...he died last year too!?"
I'll say no more except what a lovely time they all had and how wonderful it is to see such happy faces on the way out - and the relief on ours!
Not much else to report today except how exhausting today was in this heat - how people go abroad on holiday in the Summer is beyond me - I'm sure I'd melt!
Again stunningly gorgeous in my garden at 7-8pm tonight; Peter home this evening so we dined together - alfresco. Bella's coat is getting long again - may give her a trim tomorrow morning - thinking about it my fringe is getting a little heavy too...
