Woken by the phone and it was Richard, David's cousin, saying David's scan earlier this week had revealed something not too good, and he was therefore in hospital. And therefore don't come at 4pm to work for David. I may get time to go and see him in hospital in the next few days.
At about 11 I set off for the Steiner School for the financial interview for next year's fees. As we only submitted our info a few weeks ago, the info hasn't changed and so our contribution is the same.
I came back via the log pile just off Fulford Road. I've found out the land belongs to the MoD and therefore they don't want the logs. The treesurgeon took most of them, but because I spoke to them, they've left some for me. So I came back with a very well loaded trailer, and did a bit of splitting and stacking, and later some chainsawing too.
I also did some cooking; I prepared some leeks and potatoes and an onion and stick of celery, and made a leek and potato soup which Gill and I had for tea.
At lunchtime I got confirmation that I'll be able to see Colin and Lucy next Wednesday after the Wipe Out Waste event, so in the afternoon I went to town to get my return ticket from Weston Super Mare to York. I called in to Cycle Heaven as my front sprocket (chain wheel) is wearing down, which is why it's been jumping when I've pushed hard on it. Also, my brakes are really not up to the job, and I find them very difficult to tighten. So Ash tightened my brakes and said he'd order a stainless steel sprocket and replace the brakes with much better ones. That'll be done next week when I'm in London.
I cycled on to the station and then on to Millers Yard and along the cycle track to home.
I popped round to collect more wood off Jamie, and met his wife Bernie.
The leek and potato soup was lovely, had it with a couple of mini pitta breads warmed on a sheet of aluminium foil on top of the stove.
Gill and I had a game of Scrabble and I chopped up red peppers and put them for drying. More yummy sweet paprika on the way....
