I just wanted to see it in writing what a "normal" week we have had, well just over a week......
It started last Friday 2nd Sept, it was our old friends funeral.....actually a day of celebration as lots of people came, people that we have known for over 35yrs.......don't need to explain about funerals and meeting up with long lost friends. We hadn't been to a funeral since the death of Daves brother just before his diagnosis so were both a bit apprehensive, me more so as it always brings pain in my heart at the loss of my Mum and Dad even after so many passing years. But it was a fitting tribute to a wonderfully loving and funny lady and we were pleased we decided to go.
On Saturday morning I went to see my Bad Boy.....having a holiday at Her Majestys Pleasure, believe me when I say a holiday, wont go into that one but its not a bloody punishment even if it is my son in there..... On the way I collected my 2yr old grand-daughter and her mum. We had a great couple of hours, more so now that he is nearer home, less traveling. .........In the afternoon we had a BBQ with more of the family, the weather was fab...got a call to say my nephew had broken his leg at rugby, looking at up to 8months off work as needing an op on it... lots of food and drink and the last one left about 1.30am. Had a good sleep too, what a perfect end to a perfect day :)
Sunday lunch time I dropped Dave off at the club as he had arranged to have a drink with our lovely son-in-law.....while I went for a cuppa with our daughter. Our soon to be 15yr old grand-daughter Courtney asked if she could stay the night as she missed the BBQ.....so we went home and cooked dinner, picked Dave up about 4 and had a relaxing evening with our special girl. She is so helpful, nothing is too much trouble for her..she is thoughtful and funny and I love her to bits. Her plan was to stay until Tuesday but a friend was having a sleepover and she wanted to go but asked if we minded, bless her.
Monday...checked calender...bloody hell, no appointments....tried posting a message to Madge but it wouldnt work....No.1 son rang to see if I was still alive, followed by....."mum, if your not busy,do you think you could", the norm.
Tuesday and Wednesday ......tried making some curtains, failed ....needed to be with niece at meetings over her childrens visiting, thats not a normal thing thankfully it will all be sorted soon.
Thursday.....Daves Birthday and our Anniversary...I was so good...I actually remembered to get the Anniversary card this year without being prompted......Dave forgot :) :) :) I still cooked him dinner, I think he only said it was nice to get himself out the s**t :) Daughter, son-in-law and 2 of our girls came over with cards,chocolates and wine. Lots of phone calls too. Dave has gone a bit "fruit and nut" at the moment but the card his brother sent was hilarious............This is it ;
