Well that was fun!
Sep. 24th, 2024 09:18 pmBooked a taxi for husband's appointment at Broadgreen - which was in person even though the rheumatologist told us they were going to ring, but whatever. The taxi driver was wearing t-shirt and shorts with bright orange socks with blue dots on. He was playing a recording of someone reading the Quran - one voice would sing a verse in Arabic and then another would say it in English. Coming home we got the very same driver! Never happened before.
Anyway, the husband will now have another tablet to add to the mix - but just one a week. The other option was 4-6 a day, which just feels like a LOT.
At the hospital, we bumped into one of his cousins, also there with rheumatism. Again, first time we've met someone we know there.
Also got some work done, particularly prepping for my 'divide and conquer' sessions with the PMs tomorrow. I love them all but it's quite difficult to get very far when they're all in a room together. 1-1 I can gather the thoughts of each of them and then compile them into something new. Or tick everything off as agreed - you never know!
I'm back in the office tomorrow but my first meeting isn't until 10am.
I finished Patel's character chart. I'm loving her family, too. And I noticed some lovely big houses as we were driving up to the hospital that would be ideal for them. I had originally planned to squeeze them into a former council house but I think they have the wherewithal for something more spacious. Of course, Mum will complain that they're rattling around in it now that three of her five children have left - but the eldest and his wife can soon fill up the empty rooms!
For the other characters I'm just going to rattle quickly through the sheet, I think. Anything I can answer quickly I will, anything else I'll come back to later, if I have time before November. I really want to get the plot outline and scene list done, too.
We had our last Zoom evening prayer tonight. I'm starting a course in a couple of weeks that runs on a Tuesday. If/when I take up the mantle again, it will be with a team. The course is being run as part of FFM and I do think the idea of new monasticism is something that could bring the new 'super parish' together. It's also something that's been explored in the last couple of CAC meditations, which is quite inspiring. There's also been discussion of the 'contemplative life' not requiring actual meditation, which is something I've never really taken to - but I feel a growing stillness in my core being.
Well, that's a better post than I've managed lately. Not having the telly on is definitely a good thing!
