That is our current thinking.I echo WD...tell him you have last minute relatives coming to visit and though you'd love to spend time with him, you can't and hope he understands. Perhaps say that you could meet to walk the dogs but put a time limit on it so he understands it can't/won't be all day.
We don't want to upset our friend, we've been friends with him for 30+ years and love him to bits. Its just that he suggested - after we had said that our plan was to walk at the beach on Christmas day - arriving at his at 8am and walking for 3 or 4 hours (I have a greyhound who would not be chuffed at such a long walk as he is seriously lazy, I also have 16 year old terrier) then having casserole, then carols, then evening church and had planned the whole day out for us.
We have discussed the getting up before the crack of dawn and said that we are off to church at 10.30 for an hour and would be walking for 90 minutes at most. We said that we could drop him off at his brother's house in time for Xmas dinner, that they never start until 4pm due to work etc.
Hubby has said that he will pop around, after dialysis, tonight and have a chat with him and see if he can calm our pal's plan down a bit.
We only had the 'walking on the beach' conversation, in passing, at lunchtime. Hubby currently chatting on FB chat dodad with friend.
Is it to early for wine?!
