@MJW - such is the way with many elderly people, it give a sense and structure to life, but can seem a but obsessive when those who don't have other commitments with their time get a bit inflexible. We will do a 300 mile trip to visit a couple of pensioners every year, and usually there is no point in arriving before one of them is back from church, or expecting to stay any later than the other one expects to go shopping
But its worth it - they are uplifting people to visit - in fact my best memory of the season is the smile on the face of one of them as she saw us walking towards her bed in hospital - recognised us at 10 yards, and she's 97
