A
visit to Manchester today to visit my aged and currently housebound dad and
stepmum, enabling me to play a small part in providing care for a very
independent couple, manoeuvring stiff legs, crutches and walking stick into the
non-too-spacious Nissan for a drive to the library where they scoured the large
print shelves in search of books they had not already read (and surreptitiously
marked as such), calling on the way back at the supermarket (“just Aldi, that
Tesco is too bloody big”) for a shuffle round the aisles; it gave them some
fresh air and a change of scenery, and I got, as ever, a good cooked dinner and
some home baked cake before setting off back over the Pennines.
