Great news, BTM, although they could have put something like that in the recall letter to stop you worrying!
Love the stripey sweater in that link - looks just the kind of thing I would love to wear with skinny jeans. I went out in my fave black polo neck yesterday and tried to pretend I was tres rive gauche all day.
Been busy and
week here. A friend's brother (I knew him as a teenager but haven't seen him for years) died of lung cancer at the weekend, he was only 51
. My friend is being very strong for her parents, but she is distraught. She also lives abroad and is worried about going home and leaving her family here. Very difficult.
And on a completely different level, dd's elderly gerbil died on Monday, just as we were going to take her to the vet. Thankfully Toffee had given us some warning as she'd been crouching down, not moving much and panting a bit for a day (which is why I thought we'd go to the vet, not looking for a miracle cure, but more so that dd knew we'd done what we could), so we didn't have the sudden discovery of dead pet thing, but the children are still very sad about it - it feels like one of those childhood moments. Ds1 even wrote a poem for her, which I'm not sure whether to be even more
about or a bit
.
At last things have calmed down a lot for me at work and I'm going to be able to take a few days off at half term and go away with the kids without havig to check emails in a state of dread every day.
