0:01
Hello.
0:02
I'm sorry.
0:03
I realized I dropped the phone down on the table.
0:05
No, it's okay.
0:06
On the sofa.
0:09
No, well, I didn't even know it had been ringing.
0:11
It looked as if it might have been ringing for about five.
0:13
minutes and I was like, oh my God, I hope that's not, uh, not the case.
0:17
I think it was just a fraction of a second.
0:19
Oh right, okay, that's good.
0:21
I was like, my God, what have I done?
0:24
Yeah.
0:24
Are you okay then or?
0:26
Yeah.
0:27
Yes, I'm up.
0:28
No, no, no, no.
0:29
I'm absolutely fine.
0:30
I was just a bit, uh, at the time, it was like 10:00 at night and everywhere was quiet.
0:35
Um, so the neighborhood, it and straight away was messaging was I all right?
0:40
Um, yeah.
0:41
We were screaming.
0:42
Oh, it was a hell of a, no, no, I wasn't screaming.
0:44
It was just a hell of a thud when I hit the floor.
0:47
Um, so it was up in my, bedroom and you know, like the little step stool that Anna stands on in the bathroom.
0:53
Mhm.
0:54
The little plastic thing.
0:55
I normally just stand on that and put things in the cupboard.
0:58
But I was lifting something,
1:00
Heavy and I thought, oh, it'd be better to get the little steps.
1:02
So I was like two steps in the air and turned round, put my foot down thinking I was only one step in the air and suddenly it's like, ah, there's nothing there.
1:14
And then splat, yeah.
1:16
It was just silly.
1:18
Your granddad was doing things like that, you used to get worried you don't even like me, putting heavy things up, places on my own and doing stuff like that.
1:26
But it's always the way.
1:27
The person who worries the most.
1:30
Does a bad thing.
1:34
Like I say, I'm usually careful.
1:35
If I've been going up in a loft, or if I I'd been, um, in the, like the sunroom and painting the ceiling and I'd know I'm up the ladder, so I take it carefully.
1:43
It's just because my brain thought I'm only on the one step and didn't consider.
1:48
that.
1:49
It's the first time I've ever been up two steps to get into that cupboard.
1:52
So it was
1:54
Just a
1:55
Silly thing.
1:57
Nothing but you.
1:59
No, no,
2:00
Been very, very lucky.
2:01
And I think it's because I just went down like sideways.
2:05
I was sort of facing the cupboard, turned round to put my foot down.
2:10
So I was, I turned like 90 degrees.
2:13
and then I just went completely down on my side.
2:16
And I didn't have time to think to put my hand out to stop me from falling.
2:20
Because I think if I'd done that, I would probably have broken my wrist or something.
2:25
But because I just went down, spread the the weight and everything saw right.
2:32
So, so yeah, I'm just staffed.
2:36
What, do that again?
2:37
Okay, if you're all bruised.
2:38
Oh, yes.
2:39
No, no, no.
2:40
I've just put loads of anica on it and, um, yeah, I'm all right.
2:44
Um, I couldn't sleep on that side, but it's all right.
2:47
It's, yeah, I can, everything moved so I checked everything.
2:51
I was like laid on the floor and thought, um, wiggled everything and everything wiggled all right and got myself up and, and just kept, um, moving it.
3:00
All a little bit and and yeah, everything's absolutely fine.
3:03
So I was very lucky and it was a good a good reminder that I shouldn't do silly things.
3:09
So pay attention to what I'm doing.
3:13
But how are you?
3:14
How's Anna, how's Susanna?
3:18
There's nothing, nothing changes.
3:21
Exactly the same.
3:23
Okay.
3:26
Sending love to everybody.
3:29
And I'm so sorry about last weekend that on on the Sunday I should have come away sooner.
3:36
And it just didn't matter me.
3:39
Um, so I'm going to.
3:40
It's fine, you know,
3:42
Set up a.
3:42
Can't keep everybody happy and at the same time.
3:44
You can't, but I wouldn't have, I need to.
3:48
To go earlier, so I said, Okay, well, we better bring them around then.
3:52
Yeah, and I, it didn't occur to me that they wouldn't come because I wasn't there, so I need, I need telling things
4:00
Like that, because it really wouldn't have, you know, I could have been told and I would have gone, but I wasn't aware of what was happening.
4:06
So, can I?
4:07
Of course you can, darling.
4:09
Yes.
4:10
No, but you wouldn't have said it in a bad way.
4:13
But you wouldn't have said it in a bad way.
4:15
And and it would have been, I know, I just, I just hated that it caused so much upset, um, afterwards.
4:22
And, and I always, I always wanted, I never want to people when I'm there.
4:30
I want to, you know, I want, I would rather a short time and you think, Oh, I wish it stayed longer than stay.
4:36
too long and be a nuisance.
4:38
So that's.
4:39
It wasn't.
4:39
You were not even there for a day.
4:41
Just the timing.
4:42
I know.
4:42
He wanted to see granddad so.
4:44
Oh, Bijan needed to see his dad.
4:46
Absolutely.
4:47
Yeah, yeah.
4:48
No, and that's like I said.
4:50
Keep everybody happy and it wasn't possible.
4:53
But that's where we we all need to communicate, to talk about it and.
4:59
Yeah, yeah.
4:59
You know,
5:00
If we just sort of said, Oh, if if he's coming round, he's, they're not going to come if you're here and and I would be like, oh, great.
5:08
Yeah.
5:08
I'll go home because I would have happily gone home earlier instead of being, you know, 11:00 when I got home.
5:13
That wouldn't have been.
5:15
That wouldn't have been a problem.
5:17
I was I was just
5:18
Playing with Anna and and didn't about it.
5:22
So yeah, that was that was the problem, really.
5:25
Um, but anyway, it won't.
5:28
We're not going, that set of circumstances aren't going to be there again, but I'll try and be more mindful.
5:34
Well, hopefully he's not going to have a heart attack again anytime.
5:36
soon.
5:38
Exactly.
5:40
Um, so, so yeah.
5:44
Okay then, but Bijan managed to get to see him for a bit before he went.
5:48
home.
5:48
I heard it was about.
5:50
Yeah, yeah.
5:51
He left, so that's good.
5:55
Okay, then.
5:57
Bye, bud.
5:58
All right, then.
5:59
Good.
6:00
Yes, no.
6:03
So, yeah, I just.
6:05
While we're doing next few weeks, when are you going to France?
6:10
Going to France on the, um, 21st we fly.
6:14
I'm traveling down to Stanstead on the 20th.
6:18
So at some point, um, I was going to ask you, you book your parking through when you go away.
6:24
Um, to get.
6:25
Yeah, do you want me to take you to Spencer?
6:28
Oh, no, no, no, no.
6:28
Definitely not.
6:30
Um, we're going down. easy.
6:32
We did it before.
6:34
I know.
6:34
Actually, no.
6:35
I don't, I'm not, I still don't want you to do it.
6:37
I don't want you to do it because it was a six hour round trip.
6:40
That was silly enough.
6:41
Purposely booked it so that and deal with it.
6:45
I'm not honestly.
6:48
So we're not, that's not of it.
6:51
Have you had any luck with holidays for yourself for going away at half term?
6:56
Not really.
6:57
I've not looked properly.
6:59
I will, though.
7:00
And
7:00
Questions over Christmas as well because the Bulgarian contingent of the family want to come to England.
7:07
It's okay.
7:08
Suzanne Lucky.
7:11
It's okay.
7:12
Well, I would, it's funny when I woke up this morning, I was thinking about Christmas and I was going to say if you all want to come to me this this year, um, not not to put it on Susanna, um, if you can cope with having the Bulgarian, stay at yours and come to me for Christmas day so that she's not hustled with that.
7:30
I think she wants them to call.
7:31
I want them to come at all.
7:33
Right.
7:34
Oh, oh, yeah.
7:36
,
7:37
We'll see.
7:37
She's talking to them about it sometimes.
7:40
Okay.
7:42
If you wanted to come to me for dinner then, you know, or come and stay here, whatever.
7:47
Um, you know, you're all very welcome to come and do that.
7:52
Uh I had talk with Christina earlier in the week because I was having to deal with.
7:56
Oh yeah.
7:56
Um things for the um
8:00
The state.
8:01
And I'd said that we were thinking of maybe going out to Tenerife in January and did she have any contact with villas or large apartments or recommendations, recommendations.
8:13
Yeah, so, um,
8:15
So she said. love it and we can stand it for free.
8:17
She, no, she didn't, unfortunately, but she does know lots of people and she's going out in November.
8:23
So I said, all right, well, I would have a word with with you and see what sort of numbers we were looking at and timings and.
8:29
Yeah, Bijan.
8:30
Keep asking me as well.
8:33
Bijan is talking about.
8:36
Well, I thought, yeah, Bijan will go out because it's only like £15 from Booster Fry to Tenerife, which is brilliant.
8:45
Um, so, and he's talking that he could just work from there.
8:49
He'd quite like to do that.
8:50
So, um, yeah.
8:52
So I could, I could, you know, me and Auntie Julie and Bijan could stay out for longer or or something.
8:57
Um, because it,
9:00
I thought it's difficult for you to plan at the moment with everything the way it is.
9:06
We can do it.
9:08
Yeah, definitely like to go.
9:09
I'll go tomorrow.
9:11
Oh, I know.
9:12
It's like, be nice to be somewhere, somewhere sort of warm and and relaxing, wouldn't it?
9:17
Um, for all of you. 34 degrees.
9:19
I was talking to John about that.
9:21
He keeps saying about going back again.
9:24
Without him.
9:24
and it's 34 degrees or something like that.
9:28
It's still still quite hot out there and it will be hotter on an evening as well.
9:34
I mean, it was quite quite warm enough when we were there in January, but obviously you get guaranteed hotter weather now.
9:42
Um, but not silly.
9:43
Yeah.
9:43
Hot weather.
9:44
Um, yeah.
9:46
Um, so if you are, talking of going out, do you want me to come and stay in Sheffield?
9:55
Yeah.
9:55
When you, no, when you, you go away, I'm,
10:00
How how Susanna managing?
10:02
Is she coping with with Anna and things?
10:05
Um.
10:06
Yeah, she's fine.
10:07
No, no, I'm not going.
10:08
I mean, John wants to go but he can't afford it.
10:10
So, I mean.
10:11
Okay, that's all right.
10:12
She's only like 20 £25.
10:14
We're not planning to go out, but we'd like to.
10:17
Okay.
10:17
I don't know.
10:18
It's just, yeah, it's just like normally, I find out when you get, you're out of, um, out of, sort of.
10:26
Then, yeah, and then I find out you've been away for a week.
10:29
That was when I was, that was last year when we were trying to sort out Nana and granddad's, wasn't it?
10:34
But at least that's all done now, so.
10:36
And Oh, yeah.
10:37
No, we went for three.
10:38
The house is
10:39
Only a year.
10:40
Yeah, it's only a year since.
10:43
Okay then.
10:46
And we got it for three days or something like that.
10:48
But it's, um, Susan, it's fine.
10:52
If I went away for three days, the last thing she's wanted is more people coming, definitely.
10:59
Yeah.
11:00
Well,
11:00
And this is it.
11:01
I only want to to come if.
11:03
I was only joking when I said I'd go tomorrow, but I would though.
11:06
I really would.
11:08
No, I know, I know that.
11:09
And, and yeah.
11:10
And, uh, I feel a bit mean because like I was just thinking, oh, it's a full moon this weekend and it's nice down in Hastings.
11:17
If I could just jump in the car and go down and see Bijan, but, um, I feel like I should take Auntie Julie and and all this, sort of stuff, you know, it's just like, well,
11:27
Just ask her if she wants to go and she'll say no.
11:30
Yeah, that's another, it's another way of doing it, yeah, and driving all that way and, yeah.
11:37
So there's there's ways around it.
11:39
Um, but Bijang goes away next.
11:42
Oh, I'm, I'm quite happy to drive down there.
11:45
I was, I was quite up for that, but, uh, anyway, yeah.
11:50
Okay.
11:52
I've just taken a delivery.
11:53
I mean, in the car, I've just arrived at the customer, so I'd better get No,
11:56
No, no, you've got.
11:57
It was it was an accident.
11:59
I hadn't realised that I'd rang you.
12:00
I know.
12:01
It's always, always lovely to talk to you.
12:03
Yeah, absolutely.
12:05
Whenever you're out in the car like that, give me a ring and, um, it's good to catch up.
12:09
I just, yeah, I realise I'm missing every.
12:12
everybody.
12:13
Okay, you.
12:14
Yeah, we are.
12:14
We'll see you soon.
12:15
If you know, if you need any help or anything, just do that before because.
12:19
It'll do.
12:20
I will.
12:20
No, I'm, I'm absolutely fine.
12:22
I just have to do things.
12:23
You know, I just have to be mindful of what I'm doing in in lots of different ways.
12:27
All right.
12:29
Okay, then.
12:30
See you soon.
12:31
All right.
12:31
Okay.
12:32
Bye darling.
12:32
Thanks for calling.
12:33
Bye.
