Dreading New Year

Hey all

For some reason I’m not getting the notification emails any more so didn’t realise all these posts had taken place! <sigh>.

Got some catching up to do....

hope you’re feeling “ok” following your sister’s birthday. Virtual rubber rings and arm bands always with you from all of us to cope with the unexpected tsunamis.

hope the fence stayed  up. How were the pancakes? No point making them just for me and I LOVE pancakes. Mum used to make yummy savoury ones. I don’t think you should feel bad about not wanting to go to the funeral- I’ve never been good with them and I certainly can’t bear the thought of attending one at the moment. Saying that - God forbid - if it was someone close I might feel differently.

that was an interesting load you carried home!...who looks after Dexter whilst you’re away? 

GBear sorry to hear about your appointment- I know it’s tough but don’t let it get you down too much. Hope the well-being event went well.

Remember ladies we never need to apologise for how we feel or for talking about our Mums. It’s been said before but it’s true - true friends understand and will never mind.

Love and hugs to you all - and Dexter and Stanley

So lovely to hear from you Spu. How have you been doing? I have a lady who comes over and feeds dexter when I’m not there. She’s essentially a cat sitter. She’s mad and loves Dexter. 

Sunny - I’ve heard of Crackerjack. It was a little that way. I’d done a fair bit of internet shopping and then had lots of random stuff coming out of my ears! 

Gbear - how did the well-being event go? Also so sorry you’re having such trouble with the hospitals. Really do hope they sort it out for you soon. 

Sunshine - how’s Stanley and hope you feel a little rested after spending some time out of town. 

I’ve had a week of feeling only small amounts and then I drove home with my sister back to Norfolk today (dads birthday Monday) and started talking about mums last week and the things she’d managed to say. It made me cry whilst driving (tricky) and since being home this afternoon, I keep imagining she’ll walk through one of the doors. Or I’ll hear her drying her hair or she’ll be around with her huge big beaming smile :-) I guess this is an overdue wave. I miss her terribly today and would do anything to have her back without cancer. 

Hope you all have a peaceful and restful Sunday.

Ah lovely photo of Dexter! Looks lovely and relaxed there. If I knew how to upload a pic of my cat I would.

Same here with the missing, like you wish I could have my mother back as she was before cancer.

Take care all x x 

Lou - hit the picture box at the top (third one in) choose pic and send. Hope you’re doing ok xxxxx

Hey SPu

They we yummy thanks. My niece loved them and was very impressed i could toss them. So was i tbh Xx Yes I agree, I've never been good at funerals and at present just can't face it. (Some times you have to protect your self) Xx like you, i known there, will be a time I will have to. But now is not the time. Xx Hope you have a restful weekend. 

 Not a very good one, doesn't like having his picture taken!! X x

Hello everyone,

The well being event was OK. But going to the art studio upstairs really got my interest there was some fabulous paintings there. My art teacher and local artist was showing us his paintings and some that the others did as a group. Another artist that at the studio came and we had a lovely chat with her and her art work was using oil paints and came up with some amazing paintings. I am seriously thinking of joining another art class because I find its the only time I am truly relaxed. Its a matter of cost and when they are, I like to make sure I can fit them around various appointments. Hospitals and other. 

Kate Dexter looks so chilled out.

Hope everyone is OK and can at least stay safe in the strong winds, I nearly was blown over this morning it was stronger then I realised, apparently its going to be a bad week weather wise. Take care.
