8…
Another day of preparation today. However, we have also been trying to enjoy the calm before the storm.
Despite the doctor giving strict intructions to “not go climbing any mountains” as a condition of J staying out of hospital for another week, we went for a meal again. Only to Jino’s Thai Café in Headingley, mind, and the fact that we parked right out front meant there was probably less walking involved than going to the top of our house (which, with all those stairs, is also much more akin mountain climbing).
It was great, really bringing back memories of Thailand – a time that really contrasts with those that are to come in some ways – we had no demands, no responsibilities – but similar in many, many others – we were doing something new, each day was an adventure, we felt so very alive, like every day mattered, that every day was one to be preserved and looked back upon later with fondness.
