This morning most of the country woke to snow, and it was no different in Hertford. Paul drew back the curtains to see a layer of snow everywhere. Luckily, it did not disrupt Dawn's train, so she was able to get into work without too much problem.
Today was also Paul's brother George's birthday. However, with their dad in hospital, it made the whole day a little subdued. Paul called the hospital first thing and was told his dad was comfortable, before calling to check on George. Paul then drove up to Holloway to take George out for a birthday lunch. The two went to The Gatehouse in Highgate and spent most of the time talking about their dad.
Then the two drove down to the hospital and dropped into see their dad. He seemed a lot better than they feared he might, and even told them that the doctors told him he should be able to go home in a day or two. Relieved that it wasn't as bad as they feared, they decided to hold off calling their other brothers, Phillip and David, so not to panic them. They could call once everything was okay and their dad was allowed home.
That evening Paul watched (although he wished he hadn't) Spurs throw away a two-goal advantage against Arsenal in the League Cup semi-final. He said he is definitely not going to watch the second leg next week.
