Good morning all, things are beginning to calm down around here. Everyone is over the shock of the weekend and are beginning to think sensibly now(apart from DP's granda who has gone on a bender, took to many heart tablets and ended up in hospital yesterday, he's ok tho. And he has fallen out with the entire family but hey ho... thats the way he 'deals').
I'm feeling more human now, the weekend completely drained me mentally and emotionally, as the 'detached' person I was trying to be there for everyone with comfort and support and just forgot to reinforce my energy etc. Got a busy day today so not much flying going to happen, just basics and maybe a level 1, we'll see.
Normal service to resume tomorrow.
Also want to give you all a HUGE thank you for you kind words and support over the weekend, really meant alot to me and the family. xxxxxxxxxAn' It Harm None, Do As Thou Will
