The dressing on F&#8217;s finger had come off overnight, so I had to clean and dress the wound &#8211; which seems to be healing very well &#8211; I think it will be healed quicker than the two weeks the nurse estimated.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>By the time we were all up &amp; breakfasted it was gone 11. D had suggested we walk to Warwick, so we decided we&#8217;d do that and get some lunch from a coffee shop and find somewhere to eat outside. Buying lunch in a coffee shop which was previously a regular weekend occurrence now seems like the height of decadence and a huge treat!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The walk went OK although we had a bit of upset when F said &#8220;my coat&#8217;s a bugger to do up&#8221; and both D and I (very gently, and not at all trying to make her feel she&#8217;d done anything wrong) said probably not the phrase to use in the park. Unfortunately what we saw as very mild request F saw as a real rebuke (and probably hypocritical as it&#8217;s exactly the sort of thing I&#8217;d say) and got quite upset and started to walk back home without us. D eventually managed to catch up with her and calm her down, and we made peace.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery columns-2 is-cropped wp-block-gallery-1 is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex\"><ul class=\"blocks-gallery-grid\"><li class=\"blocks-gallery-item\"><figure><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"768\" height=\"1024\" src=\"http:\/\/www.meanboyfriend.com\/overdue\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/IMG_9357-768x1024.jpg\" alt=\"\" data-id=\"973\" data-link=\"http:\/\/www.meanboyfriend.com\/overdue\/?attachment_id=973#main\" class=\"wp-image-973\" srcset=\"http:\/\/www.meanboyfriend.com\/overdue\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/IMG_9357-768x1024.jpg 768w, http:\/\/www.meanboyfriend.com\/overdue\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/IMG_9357-225x300.jpg 225w, http:\/\/www.meanboyfriend.com\/overdue\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/IMG_9357-1152x1536.jpg 1152w, http:\/\/www.meanboyfriend.com\/overdue\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/IMG_9357-1536x2048.jpg 1536w, http:\/\/www.meanboyfriend.com\/overdue\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/IMG_9357-800x1067.jpg 800w, http:\/\/www.meanboyfriend.com\/overdue\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/IMG_9357-scaled.jpg 1920w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 768px) 100vw, 768px\" \/><\/figure><\/li><li class=\"blocks-gallery-item\"><figure><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"768\" height=\"1024\" src=\"http:\/\/www.meanboyfriend.com\/overdue\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/IMG_9359-768x1024.jpg\" alt=\"\" data-id=\"974\" data-full-url=\"http:\/\/www.meanboyfriend.com\/overdue\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/IMG_9359-scaled.jpg\" data-link=\"http:\/\/www.meanboyfriend.com\/overdue\/?attachment_id=974#main\" class=\"wp-image-974\" srcset=\"http:\/\/www.meanboyfriend.com\/overdue\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/IMG_9359-768x1024.jpg 768w, http:\/\/www.meanboyfriend.com\/overdue\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/IMG_9359-225x300.jpg 225w, http:\/\/www.meanboyfriend.com\/overdue\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/IMG_9359-1152x1536.jpg 1152w, http:\/\/www.meanboyfriend.com\/overdue\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/IMG_9359-1536x2048.jpg 1536w, http:\/\/www.meanboyfriend.com\/overdue\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/IMG_9359-800x1067.jpg 800w, http:\/\/www.meanboyfriend.com\/overdue\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/IMG_9359-scaled.jpg 1920w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 768px) 100vw, 768px\" \/><\/figure><\/li><\/ul><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>We got to Warwick ready for lunch, and B suggested we went to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/jacksshackwarwick\/\">Jack&#8217;s Shack<\/a> &#8211; we&#8217;d never been there before but B noticed it as we walked past, and I&#8217;ve seen video&#8217;s from them on Facebook during the lockdown which had made me intrigued to try them. They were lovely, and had a little &#8220;garden&#8221; out the back which was empty when we got there &#8211; so we had the whole area to ourselves for most of our lunch.
