Well, life has taken an unexpected turn . We\u2019re bringing Dad home for a while. He decided that on balance he\u2019d like to feel nearer the rest of the family and, if he had to work from home anyway, that might as well be here. It really will all be very odd as he will be in isolation when he comes home for two weeks. That means none of us will actually see him, except to wave to through the bedroom window. Mum is going to have to leave his food on a tray outside his room and then clear up and wash things straight away to be safe.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
We did look at whether it made sense to rent somewhere for him\nfor a couple of weeks. If we had done then Shadow was going to go to look after\nhim. We decided this would be best, I just hope we got it right.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
In the garden everything is starting to grow. The apple trees\nare getting leaves and there is blossom on the cherry trees. The daffodils are\nout and looking very merry. It makes us stop and think how much Alfie would\nhave liked to see it. I know it\u2019s only been a few days, but it as though spring\nhas suddenly started to arrive and he did so love being in the garden in\nspring.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I nearly forgot to wish Mama Susi a very happy Mother\u2019s Day. I\ndo wish I could see her, but travel will have to wait. We\u2019re hoping that by the\ntime Dad goes back to Switzerland we will be able to go too and spend a little longer\nthere than in the past. Mum says we need to get Aristotle\u2019s leg sorted out first\nas well.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Love<\/p>\n\n\n\n
