Outings

I lead a giddy existence these days. Yesterday morning I went to the hairdresser at the bottom of our road. That end of the road has been closed for a time as I'm told they are going to put in a pedestrian crossing. Because of this the traffic was whizzing in all directions. I am not able to see so well these days so I asked a nice young man to tell me when it was safe to cross. He saw me safely across the road. I find young people very patient and willing to help. Then in the afternoon Mike took me on my usual trip to the hospital for a scan. I now wait to see if the consultant thinks I need another injection.
Today Mike and I went to Seaford for coffee with my friends. We had an enjoyable morning. Elizabeth has been emptying her loft and we came home with a lovely little chair, just right for Lloyd when he comes. We already have one small chair so now the two little boys can have one each.
I love words. I was describing a character in a novel and said "She was very deedy". This was a favourite word of my mother's and meant she was very earnest, very serious said in a slightly perjorative way. Does anybody still say it?
