A visitor to my room

A big day, yesterday. I had a visitor in my room - Robert. The first time for over a year. 

When he came in December it was in the library downstairs, with a separate entrance, and he was masked which made conversation difficult.

This time he had to arrive half an hour early to be tested and then kitted out with full PPE. It was a knock on my door I had been looking forward to for so long.

We had time and a lot to talk about but I had a list of jobs I could not manage myself so he was working most of the hour.

One task was redesigning my living room by moving furniture. Others included solving problems with my iPad. As usual, he solved them all.

Karen had also been shopping for me and they had added some Easter gifts including an egg and some sparkling wine.

The hour passed far too quickly and Sara, the Sunrise head who had welcomed him, called to escort him from the building. 

Robert enjoyed his bike ride to the Senedd, Cardiff Bay

I watched from my window as he rode out, not in his car but his bicycle for a sunlit ride in the city.

A memorable day. And if all goes well I might soon be able to welcome family and friends again.

A lovely thought.
