Challenges

Just spoke to John and, briefly, Maureen. They are staying safe. But John is feeling very restricted now he no longer gets out and Maureen's short term memory is as bad as Mum's was towards the end. According to John, he now thinks too much whereas in the past he rarely thought about anything but just got on with what needed to be done. At least they've got enough money coming in to keep the show on the road.

Worryingly, Cheryl's John has been made redundant, having been paid off with three months' salary. They've just moved into an expensive new house but I'm hoping they'll be able to cope given the fact they've done very well financially over the years. Thinking back to when we saw them last December, it's startling to consider the challenges they've faced this year; them and so many others.
