Sunday 1st July
Sally enjoyed seeing Holly when she visited her Mum at the hospital,
as Tony A popped in here to pick up his PC and after Sally arrived back in the Square,
he accompanied us, and provided a lift, to Marion's birthday barbeque
and I was pleased at how well Sally enjoyed the company of my old friends, and was accepted,
and I was pleased that she trusted Brian P and Paula to give her a lift back to the hospital later
as I tried to comprehend the directions in my life.

Monday 2nd July
Had a lethargy day, apart from being strong for my visit to see Sally in hospital.

Tuesday 3rd July
Sally took a bus to here and we enjoyed time together
knowing that she was well on the road to recovery
and I stopped off at the Pied Bull on the way home, after waving her off in a Taxi, to ponder stuff.

Wednesday 4th July
Sally arrived mid-day and I enjoyed sharing, my enjoyment of Jack Savoretti songs,
before we enjoyed a wander around our City, toooo many SALE signs in the shops,
and after I had my Zap, 14 minutes, we enjoyed a lovely cuisine meal later
in the newly re-opened 'Coach House', where we were joined by Sarah,
before Sally returned to the hospital, and Sarah & I talked in the 'Bull
before Sarah slept alone, in Sally's bed next door.

Thursday 5th July
Sally arrived here, after a disconcerting missed phone call in the morning (whilst I slept),
but I was pleased to hear that the lumps, in her magic breast, were just fatty tissue....
and we visited with Dionne and the Tara later, before a lovely home cooked meal,
and I then enjoyed sharing a Space in Time in the 'Red Lion' with some of Sally's kind Nurses
but Sally was happy to return to the hospital, later, after a quieter drink next door
in the Pied Bull, and I was really pleased at the concern and Local support for Sally's experience,
such is the beauty of having a local 'Pub', where someone will always say HELLO to a Stranger again.

On returning to my home, experiencing our sort of Stuff, while I'm a sort of 70's guy
and last year, Sally sat on 'Father Christmas' knee, along with her lovely Daughter, Holly,
I watched some thoughtful TV noise later, and pondered.... I can... I will... eventually
sort out My stuff that needs to be sorted in my life,
aware that my lovely Daughter and my Next Door friend, need help again, as do I,
and.... then I looked at the big picture, and my concern over Enneagram 8s and 6s.

Friday 6th July
Despite my discomforts, I was pleased to see Sally and her Son, Gav, in the morning,
as Sally enjoyed a two-day pass at home, and I enjoyed chatting with them
before her Daughter, Holly, other Son, Pete & girlfriend, Sister, Nieces, all visited here....
and I enjoyed sharing their meal before Sally's ex-partner arrived,
and enjoyed providing a space to talk to them all, especially Sally later.

07.07.07
I was happy to shake hands with Sally's Son, Pete,
as he and Cat returned to Gav's house
before escorting Sally to a coffee with Tara and a long conversation with Sally later
over who anyone can Trust, which led to a core conversation
into the early hours about Sally's Sisters.

Sunday 8th July

before Sarah popped in, before I saw Sally safely return to her hospital later
and I examined stuff, over a few glasses of GnT, as I relaxed with J.J. Cale later.

and I was really pleased at her progress before we shared a meal at the Pied Bull

and I was pleased to share a meal with her and talk
after her return to her yoga lessons with Dionne in the evening.

Wednesday 11th July
Went to the Dentist and coped with the numbed extractions calmly
and the plastic incisor insertions and accepted the blood's taste
as I wobbled for the bus, with Sally... and then Kerpow
as Sally had a bit of a strop.

Thursday 12th July
Went for a Zap and pondered in the light cabinet for 12 minutes
on the mysteries of Women after finding my unfingered ring on the table on waking
and wore it again as I pondered a solitary pint in the Pied Bull later.

Not a good day and, after escorting Sally to the hospital for her review,
I spent most of the afternoon in bed
but managed to let Sally talk me into a chat for the last hour in the 'Bull.

Tuesday 24th July
A lethargic day ended nicely with a long chat with Sally, after our hour in the 'Bull.

Wednesday 25th July
Got myself sorted to attend a nice musical event, Black Voices, at the Town Hall
and found a sad Sally on my return and, unaware that Sally had had a large Cointreau,
I suggested a  visit to the Karaoke to cheer her up and after a couple of glasses of wine
we were both a little embarrassed as I cleaned up the table
before a kind couple carried Sally's dead weight back home.
