Change of plans. Late Sunday evening my darling wife began feeling ill. I’ll save you the gory bits, but she either developed food poisoning or contracted something like the Norovirus. At this time we’re really unsure, but needless to say…we had to make some last minute changes to our trip schedule. There’s just no way she can travel in this condition. We’ve changed our Eurostar and Antwerp hotel reservations and will travel on Wednesday and back to England on Sunday.
I think the worst is over and I’ve done all I can do to make her comfortable. She’s sleeping and I’m enjoying the nice, sunny British weather with my Savinelli Roma, some Lane Limited 1-Q and some word search puzzles. Yes, even at almost 53, I need the BIG print versions of these types of puzzles.
As I’m sure most will agree, the effects of smoking a pipe offers relaxation…and to me, I often combine this with either reading or these types of puzzles. The fact I can do this in England is just even better. My only regret is my wife is in the cottage sleeping. But rest can only do her good.
I’m hopeful and prayerful that my wife recovers by Wednesday and hopefully sooner. But it is, what it is and yes….This Too Shall Pass!
Until Next time…
Happy Piping!
