Title Edited Text

The morning was still half dark when we started ticking off the list: Anna needed to be at Stagecoach by 9:15, the patio needed jet-washing, the white bedding had to go in the wash, and I was supposed to build Anna's bar at some point. We planned it all over an audio call – Suzana took the shopping, and I took the upstairs bathroom, bedroom, ensuite, hoovering, and the kitchen. I remember thinking that if we managed to get all that done before noon, we'd be winning.

Midday brought the calendar conflict: Frankie's birthday party at Top Jump Sheffield was marked NOT ATTENDING, and Ivy's playdate sat at noon. So the playdate won. We didn't talk about why we were skipping the party, it just wasn't happening. Meanwhile, the Audi came up again – a mechanic had apparently said it was a cable issue, but someone on the call suspected the gearbox or driveshaft. Selling the car to someone else got floated. That's still unresolved.

The evening slid into texts. Deimantė was in London for Harry Styles at Wembley. She'd driven up the A1, and we swapped messages about the weather, the single tickets costing £300–500, and her spending £49 on two balls and a cocktail. Then she admitted she was worried about being short of money and asked if I could lend her some. We exchanged photos and videos, she mentioned a hot tub and staying Sunday to Monday. I sent her the screenshots of the cleaning invoices for Rav Campsall – jobs on the 17th and 20th – and asked about invoicing.

After that, a long thread with Suzana. We compared decaf coffee prices and settled on Kenko over Nescafé Azera, agreed on pizzas and chips for dinner, but then hit a slightly tense patch about Anna being late to Stagecoach. Suzana was frustrated that leaving three minutes after the start time sets a bad habit. I blamed the Saturday traffic. We shared a few Instagram reels and talked about a boss teacher scolding us for missing a parents' event, but the pizzas were agreed.

Then John Taylor messaged. I asked whether a double DIN head unit with a CAN bus adaptor wiring harness could keep the steering wheel buttons working. He came back a bit later with just: 'So? Car?....' I haven't answered yet. The car stuff is still hanging over us.

And underneath it all, Anna's health referral. The GP has referred her to the Rapid Access Children's Clinic on Monday at 2:30 pm – chest pain, breath-holding episodes, swallowing difficulties. It reminds me of my own achalasia. I keep thinking about that while I'm doing the hoovering or texting about pizzas.
