    Mum to one I'm so sorry. Our thoughts are all with you at this time.

    There's a poem which whilst it may not help, might give you some comfort slowly when everything seems too much. Its how we remember some of our family. We still talk to them.

    Here.

    Hey up chaps.

    9 hours in garden. I'm pooped.

    some errant not behaving tulips were heading for the bin today so they've been distributed to folks at work and a bag found its way home.

    All good.

    Got washing in before the down pours.

    HM dinner I know I said fish but thinking more like a thai soup.

    nom nom.

    reduced bread and sage and onion stuffing on way home.

    no eggs - lazy chooks.

    :D

    Mum2one I'm sending my sympathy and support. Losing one's parent is a real turning point in your life. Mine have been gone a long time and I still miss them so much. That's the hardest part, missing them.

    A ginormous desk...something I'm never sorry I have! I hope you didn't have to arm wrestle with the guy to get that sucker!
    Overprepare, then go with the flow.

    Very wise words Mila.
