Here we are again

An extra night - at least - at Ruth’s.  I set off home around 8 but was quickly aware of a slight noise on braking.   A noise which quickly became a big noise.   I opted to limp back to Ruth’s if I could.   The noise got worse but driving cautiously and mostly using the gears to slow the car, I made it ok.  The car definitely not ok.   The RAC will tell me more.   At least I was close to a home and more significantly it didn’t happen yesterday with mum in the car.  

Mum is safely back home in London, my brother Chris has gone down by train to be with her for a week or so.  The lunchtime handover also saw my brother Steve doing some DIY for Ruth.  She’s now got a blind at the kitchen window.  Steve professes to quite like DIY, I definitely don’t!!  

Ruth bought a Gerbera last year and installed it in a big pot outside her bedroom window.  I was dubious about it surviving the winter but it did and is flowering again right now :-)
