    The welcome back is lovely. Truly. Sometimes here I am so lonely. I don't want to go out or see anyone, I don't even what anyone here. But it is nice to be welcomed back. 

    I need to go food shopping today. My dog has his tablets in chicken slices and I have run out. I am also taking the house bun to the vets. He can't go to the supermarket so I will have to make two trips (free parking starts after the appointment.) 

    I have had a nice day so far. I should have gone to visit my uncle but I don't feel exactly well - think just so tired. I should be doing something but I think I will just have another cup of tea. 


    Nevertheless she persisted.

    Welcome back Buffy. Sorry for your loss. My dad passed away a few months ago and the sadmin and emptying the house has been truly heartbreaking and exhausting. Thankfully I have had emotional support from my family & sister. I am glad you have good friends around you. We are now in the saga of trying to sell the house. 

    Please make sure you are resting as much as possible and taking time for yourself even if it’s just sitting with a cup of tea.
