Hello Aunties, so nice to see everyone. Unborn, this is a lovely thread isn't it? Squirrels I don't know about you but I find this grief business baffling. One minute you think you're doing ok, the next you're poleaxed. It's definitely not a linear thing at all. I find it tiring as well, I feel like I'm constantly fighting away strong draining emotions which will swamp me if I allow them to. Yet sleep is elusive. Makes no sense. I hope Selena and her dh are as ok as they can be. daisy I wonder why your sleep pattern is playing up?
Cake where did you have to go for your Star Wars day? I think a scone and clotted cream is the very least you deserve after that. book it would have been very wasteful to leave behind any salmon, much better to polish if off like you did. I can't remember if I asked you to thank your lovely daughter on my behalf for joining in the woolly hugs? If I didn't, please would you do so?!
Magi mind who you're calling a deluded old woman! Do you know, seeing that picture of Pot has really cheered me up - bizarre as that sounds. I've shut myself off so completely from tv/radio/newspapers and have taken no interest in tennis probably for the first time in nearly thirty years! Time maybe to start focusing again - esp with the French Open round the corner. What has Nastase been saying daisy? I used to like him back in the day but his behaviour has been increasingly odd latterly. Yes, Mark volunteered for two charities - one was a charity providing people to mediate for the elderly, and the other was offering support to families with young children.
I cleaned out a couple of kitchen cupboards today. Got very upset seeing some of the food stuffs in there - things like tins of soup that only Mark would have liked. I did think it was strange to be reduced to tears by some tinned goods but then these are strange times! Ended up with quite a large collection of tins and packets to donate to the food bank. Had a brief, but nice, interlude in the pub with dd and her boyfriend, and then a lovely walk home in the early evening sunshine. I sat in a park on my own for a while, plugged in to my music, which was very calming - and actually, is not something I would have done previously. I'm in bed now with some candles lit and a bag of maltesers! My two big boys are out somewhere intending to watch the fight tonight that apparently everyone will be watching ...
What plans does everyone have for tomorrow?
