We went across to Chester today to see my dad, but the visit turned out slightly differently from what was planned. The main reason for going was because I have swapped his internet and phone provider, so needed to install a new router. But he’d hurt his hand last night and on changing the dressing we didn’t like the look of the injury. I sent my sister a photo, and she suggested we bring him up to Arrowe Park Hospital, where she works, and she’d get someone to look at it. So we ended up spending most of the afternoon there, although my sister was able to pull a few strings so the wait wasn’t as long as it could have been. It was also nice to see where she works, as we’d never been there before. Having dropped my dad back home, we called in on my brother-in-law and my nieces and their new puppy, Islay, whom they’ve had for a couple of weeks. It was lovely to meet her, and get some tips for coping with a puppy.
