CHARLES'S MUM...

... gave us all a bit of a scare this morning. She'd had a nasty turn, and there was some fear that she might have had a heart attack, but it transpired later in the day that it was a muscle spasm. However, it was enough for Charles to be thinking of heading over to Preston. That's all changed now and she's back at home - thank goodness. I tried to help things by suggesting someone else had our tickets for the Michael McIntyre concert tonight, but probably only succeeded in complicating things and annoying James - again! Any way - as we were! Claire is taking Christina and I into Gosforth, where we're meeting James and going for dinner, then onto the Arena. At some point Charles (and maybe Tim) will pick us up. (This is all because I cannot drive in the dark. It's such a pain!)
