In The Midst Of Life...

As I was waiting for the taxi to take me to the bingo tonight. And the wind was blowing practically a gale and rain was being blown everywhere in the distance I could hear an ambulance's siren in the distance. Then I saw the reflection of blue flashing lights on the windows of a house at the top of the street. An ambulance and a police car pulled up outside. It has an elderly lady living there who has for years. My ex gardener has worked there for years doing both the garden and odd jobs.

Not sure what has happened as my taxi arrived and upon returning three hours later there are no cars outside and a light on in the lounge but its not looking good. She must be in her 90's and I have not seen her for many years and she is definitely housebound.

So whether its a case of she has passed away, gone into hospital or will finally go into a care home I am unsure.

Hope that I can avoid a similar scenario for some time to come.
