ups and downs, downs and ups

The weekend flew by!

It got off to an excellent start with the might Gills surprising us all by beating Tranmere 2-0 in front of the Sky cameras. We never perform well on the telly so this was a surprise.

Saturday morning saw Beth opening ‘the letter’ from the local authority to learn she has been selected for grammar school education (yes…Kent and Medway are one of the few that still do this to children!). Despite my reservations of the system – big congratulations to Beth who has worked incredibly hard this year.

Later that day I finished off the bathroom and we enjoyed a curry together as a family.

Then the weekend seemed to turn!

Sarah’s grandad fell down the stairs on Saturday night and is currently in hospital. Sarah’s nan has only just come out so it’s a kind of bed swapping exercise, but it does make you concerned for them.

Amazing how life is full of ups and downs, or is it downs and ups?

The weekend is over and I must admit I am not really looking forward to this week. Kim’s funeral is on Wednesday in Weymouth and can’t quite seem to get that out of my mind at the moment so I’d value your prayers that day if you have a spare moment!
