Best Laid Plans

We took Ailz's mother to the supermarket yesterday. She favours Morrisons in Dukinfield- even though it's a long way away- because Dukinfield is where she used to live. The snow lingers in dirty heaps where it's been shovelled off carparks and such. And there's still ice on selected pavements- including the one outside our house.

Ailz's father is having trouble with his chest again. We took him to the doctor in the afternoon. She prescribed anti-biotics and threatened him with hospital if he doesn't improve fast. Ruth and Nic were coming over for lunch today and I was proposing to feed them with roast chicken and chocolate fridge cake, but that's been cancelled because of the likelihood we'll be needed by Eric and Dot.

That reminds me of my dad. He got used to shopping at a supermarket and even after they moved would always drive back there to shop. Familiarity is a comfort for so many.

I hope Ailz's father improves quickly!

Thanks.

They've lived in Oldham for at least 15 years, but still like to revisit past haunts.
