My grandparents came to visit again, with great aunt Jan, and we walked down to the local village hall where there was a christmas market.
The spiced apple drink smelled good and there were stalls of locally made winter things.
Grandma and Grandad came back from their holidays in Thailand, where they didn't manage to get washed away like the rest of the country.
When I got home I found an Exquisite Corpse of a pumpkin.
Dad took me to Clare Castle Country Park today, where he showed me the disused railway station and line. He told me about Gods Wonderful Railway and how Brunel made a line from London to Truro without significant gradient, using some of the best engineered tunnels and bridges ever made. And how he made a tunnel under the Thames.
Then he showed me some old hooks on the wall of a bridge and talked about the how the railways were the cutting edge of telegraph because they needed to signal between stations so the trains didn't bump into each other.
My dads sister came to visit, and we all went out to Grantchester for tea. Its a pleasant orchard where you sit among the apple trees. Then we went for a walk along the meadows by the river.
Dad took me to Linton Zoo today, where we met all kinds of animals, he showed me Tapirs and Zebras and told me about how we have to look after all the parrots from the Amazon because we keep chopping down the trees and turning them into furniture.
We went down to the village hall where they were running a jumble sale, there were lots of things for sale, mainly clothes and books, but a few other things like games and ornaments
We went to the Tomato Festival at Wimpole Hall. The growing season was a bit odd this year, so there weren't as many tomatoes ready as normal, but there were some different ones to taste.
They were really helpful on ward C3, much better than when I was in Lady Mary, and they were all convinced I was going to be OK but they had to wait for the results from the tests they were taking before they could let me go home. But now, at last, they've let me out again. Its good to be home, it'll have to do for the moment at least.
I really don't like it out here. I screamed myself blue to get them to put me back where I came from, but they didn't understand. Instead they looked panicked and rushed me back to the hospital. We waited for ages to be seen, then were taken through to a curtained room where they weighed and measured and took samples and did lots of doctor stuff.
After a bit of looking and discussion they decided that they were worried that I might have some kind of infection and they should keep me in so they could keep an eye on my progress. Great, more hospital, just what I need.
But they've taken me to a different place this time, not so crowded, and I get my own room with a notice for everyone to wash their hands when they enter and leave, and everything.
It was slightly less of a surpise meeting Auntie Lisa, she had arranged to come over for the afternoon.
