Bet it's not empty by Monday
We’ve had a full diary this week. Grocery deliveries, arranging a walk with former colleagues, dentist check-up, helping Grandson with maths and chemistry GCSE revision, off out to lunch with relatives later today, Granddaughter is with us tomorrow and I have a hospital visit on Saturday. Probably a few other bits and bobs I’ve forgotten.
We have a diary in the kitchen to keep tabs on these things and I've just checked next week. We’ll have the school run but that’s done by 9am - nothing else in the diary. One week has diary entries every day and the following week is clear - that’s how it goes. Events don’t arrange themselves in an orderly manner.
Blimey - an empty week coming, maybe we’ll whizz off somewhere. Bet it's not empty by Monday.

We used to have a kitchen diary/calendar/planner thingie on display, colour-coded for whose "event" it was. It worked really well, but individual diaries on mobile phones seem to have put paid to it. Which is an odd piece of retrograde evolution, because the old system worked far better and we just seemed to drift into the new system without thinking. I'm sure there's some fancy system of synchronising the family's devices, but compared with a bit of paper on the wall it all seems rather daft...
Yes … we’re supposed to be retired, aren’t we? In our rocking chairs?
Sam - I've looked at phone diaries, but a cheap paper diary in the kitchen just works, there doesn't seem to be much point in changing it.
James - we are, but I don't know how I made the time to go to work.
