Yesterday I went to visit my mum and took her the new spider catcher that I bought for her. She was delighted with it. (It even has a plastic spider to practise with)

She was followed home last week by some yobs and they unnerved her so much she fell over and twisted her ankle. She hasn't been able to move without hobbling.

Mum was telling me that her sister has also hurt her foot, the same left foot at her. She went on to tell me that my very poorly aunt had a repairman round to fix her fire alarm and he dropped the screwdriver and it pierced my aunts foot. It seems strange its the same foot and done at the same time on the same day.

The wind was biting yesterday I waited for 40 minutes for the bus and some yobs were trying to get on for half fare, the driver refused to believe them, I was frozen and trying to get on the bus, eventually they paid the full fare and we got going. I felt like I had hypothermia when I finally got home.

I phoned my son who had his driving test unfortunately he hadn't passed. He seems to get a shaking foot when on the test and loses control a bit. I tried to sound encouraging but actually think they have made the driving test a lot harder than it used to be.
