Yesterday was hard work. The weather was horrible for driving 400 miles. Mum said she couldn\u2019t see all that well for all the spray and the traffic. I couldn\u2019t see much out of the back window either. The car is now as dirty as it was before she washed it and could do with being washed again. The conditions meant we couldn\u2019t go so fast and we got delayed due to accidents on the road ahead of us. By the last 30 miles Mum had had enough. \u201cTalk to me, Wilma.\u201d Well, that\u2019s all very well, but as soon as someone tells you to talk to them you have absolutely no idea what to say at all. In the end she talked to herself, giving a running commentary of what she was doing just to stay focussed. I was probably even more glad to get out of the car at the end of the day than she was.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Just to cheer her up, her mobile phone that means she can ring\nDad cheaply stopped working and the wifi in the hotel wouldn\u2019t work either.\nLooking on the bright side, at least she didn\u2019t want to go to the restaurant. It\u2019s\nnot that I begrudge her eating steak, it\u2019s just that I have to sit really quietly\nand am not allowed to wander round. If we\u2019re in the bedroom at least I can\nstretch a bit and get a drink when I want one. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Well, we\u2019re hoping that today is a bit better than yesterday.\nFor one thing we don\u2019t have to drive quite so far. However the weather is not\ngoing to be much nicer, so I think Mum may decide not to spend the whole day on\nmotorways. We\u2019ll both be happy to actually get there and see Dad.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Love<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Wilma thought yesterday was hard work – to be fair, she wasn’t doing most of the work.
