First, a flavour of our Greek holiday...
We had such a fantastic time. A lovely little village, all the bars and restaurants were in a strip along the beach and all open air so we had dinner every night looking at the sea. Swimming every day, great food, lovely friendly locals. All perfect.
Oh, and on the way back to the airport at the end of the holiday the road was blockaded by striking taxi drivers and we had to sit at the side of the road for an hour while they held their protest but they very kindly cleared the road so we wouldn't miss our flight home!
Then (the bad news), mum was taken into hospital with severe abdominal pains while we were away so I hotfooted up there when we got back and spent the weekend visiting her and my family. She's being transferred to a hospice tomorrow. The doctors say it's not a one-way ticket but the hospice is better able to deal with pain relief. The idea is that she will stay there for an indeterminate length of time and then be able to go home. But obviously things are not good. I'm back in London for a few days to work and will be going back to my parents at the weekend.
Hope everyone is doing well. Got to dash and sort a few things out before work. Have a good day all.
