my dad and eco dad

Well, what a weird bloody day. The universe giveth and it taketh away.

Off sick yesterday, but on holiday today for a week. My dad was coming from France to visit. Only problem was, he got sick last night; so sick that he couldn't travel today. Poor dad. I spoke to him briefly first thing this morning and he sounded distraught. He really hadn't wanted to let me down. I was just glad he'd decided not to travel - it would have been an horrendous journey; in fact, I don't think he could've done it. He needs rest and recovery and lots of TLC from mum. She had the same thing at the weekend, so it was inevitable that he would get it. He was almost waiting for it to hit. If I could've reached out and hugged him on that phone call this morning, I would.

The good news is, mum has already booked him on the same flight over next Wednesday. I've moved my holiday back a week as well. He'll be fully recovered (hopefully), I'll be fully recovered and it may all end up working out better in the end...as is the way with these things, I suppose.

The other good news is that although I didn't get to see my beloved dad today, I did get some recycled wood from fellow blipper eco dad. Not only did I get the timber, but a few packets of seeds as well. So generous. In return, he got some home-made oaty raisiny peanut bars (I need a better name for those, don't I?).
