My husband died in my arms on the 2nd May (2009) - what happens now?

Hi Sue, welcome home xxx

Yeah you re right, half term and holidays go past sooo much quicker than a working week x

Have fun with your sister and niece

Patricia I havent been that good today, spent far too much time on facebook too lol x

Helen x

Helen, I was too busy trying to sort out some wesite access for my dad. All sorted now though. x x

Evening girls - I've tried several times to post on here but left it as I couldn't think what i wanted to say - still don't know but thought I'd send you all ((((((hugs))))))) from a matronly (is that a word?) penguin..........my flappers are flipping you towards the middle of the huddle............not sure just how strong I feel right now but I'm better than my plastic friend!!!!!   xxxxxxx

dear dear dot ,

Would you like a spell in the middle of the huddle? I sense a slight weakening of the flippers-  we'll keep you safe, dear dottee.

I found a dotty penguin, just for you.

sue xx

Thank you Sue - that's brough a smile.......... I love the dotty penguin - me to a 't'............I prefer to look after others than be looked after - does that make me sound ungrateful???  I'm not really - just so used to being the practical one that everyone relies on!!!!!

Not ungrateful in the least - just quack (or whatever penguins do) when you need us!!

and before anyone asks - napoleon speaks perfect bristolian,  so no clues there as to penguin sounds!

Evening everyone

Have just delivered a batch of food to the 'party house' and had a few laughs with the parents of the lovely girl that Boy is sharing his party with.  I have known the mum for quite some time, she is a 'free spirit' kind of person, loves hill walking I have never seen her in anything but jeans and a fleece and is just good fun - I suspect she was a bit of a hippy in her youth. Her husband is a psychiatrist, so they make a very interesting couple. 

When we started to organise the do she said she would send me an email so we could keep in touch easily.  When, after a couple of days I hadn't received one I texted and she said ' but I bloody did and you haven't replied!"  So I checked and it turned out that I had received an email from a Dr F E R Stewart (the family name is Sclare) into my junk box and had deleted it as I thought it was another 'buy one get one free on Viagra'.  It turns out my chum is actually a PhD doctor and actually VERY smart.  Oh have I had fun tonight taking the mickey out of her.  She will wish she had never done a PhD!

I have had one upsetting dream about Ed and just a couple of 'everyday' dreams that he was in, they were lovely.  But not very often.  I don't seem to dream much at all any more.  But more and more frequently I do have the 'feeling' that he is with me.  And I like that. 

Sue, nice to have you back, I was missing the patter of webbed feet and that Bristolian accent.  I started the day in a bit of a panic as I realised that I would not be able to meet Gayle for coffee at the time we had arranged when she has her flying visit to Aberdeen.  So I have sent her a pleading, grovelling message and we are going to manage to meet the day before, just before she goes into her presentation with clients - so I had better behave so that she goes in terribly 'professional' and not a giggling penguin!

Ailsa, I hope your absence is down to you chilling, with old tea bags on your eyes, a glass of wine by your side, some soothing muzak in the background, and chocolates at hand - but I ahve a horrible feeling that is not the case ....... SLOW DOWN ...... that's an order.  Napoleon is back from his surfing break and he will be round to have a word if you are not careful.

Lynne I can just imagine the Mexican wave of tears around the work - as Helen says, it is perfectly ok when it ends in laughter - see we are all getting just a little better.

Lesley, Joey is limping and looking very sorry for himself.  You didn't see a daft black hound being shown off the premises by a manly Ungrateful One sometime this afternoon did you??  ONly problem is he seems to forget which leg is hurting sometimes!!

Well am off to have a coffee and a slump on the settee, so I will say good night to all, Patricia and Dottee, John and Dave, Manda and Fiona, especially Rosemary (hope the tens works) and everyone else.  Judi xxxxx
