Universe is against us!

This past weekend we were supposed to go away for two nights to a lovely little beach side place where my dad was born and both our families have a lot of history in this area.  We were both  looking forward to exploring the area more and seeing where our families grew up. 

Things were against us from the start.  Firstly I was supposed to be seeing a specialist whilst in this area but my doctor forgot to write the referral letter.  Therefore I had to cancel the appointment I have been waiting months to attend. We decided we would still go as we had booked our accommodation.

Saturday we had most of our things packed in the car ready for a quick get away Sunday.  I got up around 4am to go to the toilet and Bear informed me we wouldn't be going as he had been awake all night feeling ill. It is very rare for him to become sick so I was really worried.  I offered to make him a cup of tea to see if it helped. Whilst drinking our tea I said to him what about if I offer our trip on face book rather than lose our money.  Bear agreed so when he went back to bed I stayed up to do that.

  I was most surprised we didn't get any takers.  Who knocks back two nights fully paid accommodation.  So we thought we would end up losing our money after all, when I came up with an idea to ring Bears sister.  She jumped at the opportunity to have two nights away with her husband.  On arrival she messaged us teasing  saying how nice it was and then again today she rang telling us all about it. Think she was trying to make us jealous.  Guess the universe was against us with one thing after another.

It is now Tuesday night and Bear is still feeling poorly but he is being stubborn and refusing to go to the doctors. He has a really short fuse at the moment as I just said something which wouldn't usually annoy him at lunch time today.  He bent me over the kitchen bench and spatulated (Katie you saying)  me with that horrid spatula.  Ouch my bottom was on fire for ages afterwards.  Note to self 'don't poke the Bear whilst he's sick.'

Fingers crossed he is better by Friday as we have D1 and her little boy arriving for a special festival in our home town during the weekend.

Have a good week everyone.
