    Hi everyone

    It's been a strange day here! OH's brother died this morning in Portugal. Still can't believe it. DNephew & wife turned up at our door this afternoon as they had just received a phone call whilst they were shopping down the road from us and were naturally in shock.

    DBIL's middle son had flown out to Portugal this morning to spend a weeks holiday with his parents so luckily DSIL was not on her own. Their other 2 sons are flying out 1st thing tomorrow from Manchester. Hope the weather is ok.

    Managed to speak to DSIL tonight & she just can't believe what's happened.

    OH is coping really well & cooked Sunday dinner for us all. I let him get on with it as I thought he needed the distraction. DS1 & DDIL popped round with DGD who managed to cheer us all up as only a toddler can! :)

    Thanks for listening. :A

    Hugs to everyone else in need.

    Karen
