How things change

Well I'm at home now - a day earlier than expected!
This would normally be A blody great thingTM but the circumstances of my early return to the UK are those I would prefer to avoid.

I arrived at my desk in Beauvais in good time for a meeting with Michel, the General Manager to receive a call from a very poorly [livejournal.com profile] the_mendicant. She was having terrble chest pains and shortness of breath! I immediately said that I would do what I could to get back earlier and made sure that someone would look after the boys and the dog (thanks a million to [livejournal.com profile] gardenpixie, [livejournal.com profile] deamongirl and Kanga (Jo)).

I e-mailed my boss, told him the circumstances and suggested that I completed my interviews for Wednesday and drive back during the evening. He would hear nothing of it and insisted that I set off straight away! Top Man!

You can imagine how stressed and worried and was during my return journey, but thankfully it was a smooth one and I arrived home at 17:00.

Mendi was still feelng lousy, but was taking advice and taking things very easy. I looked after her and made her comfort food - posh Macaroni cheese (my special homemade cheeses sauce with apple juice and dijon mustard)

We had a quiet evening with Daemongirl stoppng over whilst Pixie went to see her Fiddler at Folk Club

They've both gone now and I've just written and e-mailed by interim audit report into work. I now have a sunny day ahead of with a few chores, but strict instructions to get out of the house and leave Mendi to rest.

Bye y'all

The patient is feeling much better today and has been well enough to give me orders and pig out on her Easter Eggs!
