On a miserably wet yet warm morning Jackie transported three more paving slabs from the back drive to the side of the house.
Following his hospital period at the end of September Giles is now comfortably settled in a long term rest home very near his own house. I visited him there this afternoon. He was content and cheerful in a very spacious and well appointed room with very friendly staff.
Afterwards I received a haircut at Sears Barbers and began reading Agatha Christie’s short story ‘The Under Dog’.
This evening we dined on a repeat of yesterday’s Southern fried chicken meal with the addition of a melange of fried onions, peppers, mushrooms, and tomatoes. I drank more of the Fleurie.
Finding a good long term rest home is something that we may all have to think about. I am glad that your friend has found one.
Indeed, Tootlepedal. Thank you very much
Ditto
Tell Jackie I think she deserves a raise.😉, Glad you got to visit your friend. Is he in hospice? Another delicious meal.
I am glad to hear Giles is comfortable, was able to see you, and he is near his own house.
Thank you very much, Lavinia
So good that you are able to visit Giles. It must have cheered him up. Hope you will be able to visit him often.
I will, Laurie. Thank you very much.
Oh! So wonderful that you got to visit Giles! I bet that brought him much joy! Continued best wishes and prayers for him. Sounds like he is in a good place. 🙂
YAY for a haircut…that always helps a person feel good. 🙂
And then such a good yummy meal! 🙂
Kudos to Jackie on all of her hard, but great work! She’s a gem! 🙂

I’m glad Giles is recuperating near his home. I think it’s time I began rereading Agatha Christie.
Thank you very much, Sue
It sounds like you had a good day! I’m glad you had a nice visit with Giles.
Thank you very much, Liz
You’re welcome, Derrick.
As a bald man I can’t help feeling that going to the barber is just showing off. 🙂
Thanks very much for the chuckle
It is a win-win situation. You may look suave and debonair, but I spend less on head maintenance and can sit and think of the old saying that God made a few perfect heads and then covered the rest with hair. 🙂

I bet Giles appreciated your visit. The Underdog is an interesting title.
He did. Thanks very much, JoAnna
I am glad to know that you and Jackie are still fit enough to live at home.
Thanks very much, Anne
I reckon the best part of your day must have been the Fleurie. Nice red. French?
Yes. My favourite. Thanks very much, Chrissy
It sounds like a full and agreeable day. I’m glad Giles is in a place that sounds so pleasant, and I’m sure he was cheered by your visit.
Thank you so much, Merril
Mmm – your meal sounds yummy – we had pork roast, potatoes w gravy, broccoli and a salad with a red blend from Italy to wash it down. Bon appetit!!😋
Finding a good resting home is not easy! Delicious meal 😋
I am glad your friend is in a nice and comfortable rest house.
Thank you very much, Dolly
You are very welcome, Derrick.
