Mum decided she'd had enough of the hospital, although they wanted to keep her in as her blood iron levels were pretty low, and they'd been making noises about giving her a blood transfusion! We managed to discharge after Mum promised that she would take iron tablets instead.
We dropped by Mum and Dad's flat in Croydon. It was hailing and the thunder and lightning were going at full pelt. I met my parents' downstairs neighbours, Simon-Who-Smokes-Pot-and-Has-Just-Bought-Mega-Loud-Speakers, and John-Who-Looks-Like-Howard-from-the-Halifax's-Younger-Brother.
Mum showed me round the flat. In fact she hardly recognised it herself. You see, Dad had spent the day arranging for our new cleaner, Annette-Who-Looks-Like-Aggie-from-the-Telly, to give the place a total spring clean.
After the storm there was a marvellous double rainbow over the whole south Croydon valley. Aahhh.
Mum and Dad drove me up to Potters Bar to stay with Boobie and Zaida for the while.
