Food Festival and socialising · Sunday September 30, 2007 by Lily
It’s the annual Food and Drink festival in town this weekend. Rupert and I have always gone on Friday, before the weekend crowds and when it’s cheaper and have had loads of fun tasting samples and chatting to the stall holders. I can’t go out for many weeks so he went with his girl friend on Saturday and they had a lovely time. He has converted her to being a vegetarian, she didn’t need much prompting after almost passing out in a Biology lesson last year! They tasted and chose some cheeses for me and brought me some fudge.
On Sunday, R was up and about at 8.15am. He seldom gets up late; it only happens if he is really tired and sleeps late. He was working by 8.30am (homework) unheard of in the past, but he wanted to get everything done so he could go out about lunch-time with some mates. Dh helped a little with Physics and I helped a little with Geography. I didn’t study either Geography or History at school as I was “put” into the Science class, so I’m finding it interesting.
I think R is enjoying all his courses so we chose them well.
I made the suggestion that he did some music practice, so he did that, but now we’ve got to weave it into everyday life again, so I don’t have to keep asking. Violin is coming on nicely with lots of vibrato and trills.
R managed to fit in some sweeping up of leaves. We have a large garden and he often passes the time keeping the paths tidy around the house. The squirrels are working overtime burying conkers. It feels really Autumny. It’s funny when you miss a week at this time of year (going into hospital) and the season has changed.
