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

Really Lynne, I had to chuckle when I read that your sister is 'really bushy today' are you sure she would want you to share that information with us ??!!!! lol.

Bren I hope you have a happy birthday hun. I appreciate that it will be difficult for you but try to enjoy it.

Gayle good luck with yoiur decxision making.

Judi, I wish you well with your house issues. I do hope that you get sorted soon.

To all you penguins who are meeting today. Have a fab time if you can.

To everyone else, just have the best day that you can

As for me, I am heading off to bed in the hopes that I will getr a few hours sleep.

Love and angel hugs x x x Patricia x x x

Also found that amusing Lynne, reminded me of that dreadful advert for the "personal" razor (I think it is) where they have a woman skipping past all these neatly clipped hedges etc!

Big birthday hug to Bren and big hugs to all of you going through the 1st anniversary time and of course to the rest of you carrying on "keep swimming" as Helen says, it's the only way and sometimes it's easier and you swim with the current and sometimes the whirlpools get you, but just keep swimming. xxxx

Be pleased with me I have at last got back to writing Tanglewood, it's amazing what bit of peace and quiet can achieve, so you never know I might even finish it this year.  Then it's just try and find someone to take it on and get it published and then..... we can have proper "I know the author" parties and stuff.... well we could just be cool and hope it might sell a bit anyway.  Right back to it and I'll look in on you later xxxxxx

Morning everyone.  Evaporating wine sounds like a strage phenomenon to me Judi!!!  I hope the house thing stops being a trauma soon.  I hope you have been able to spend the weekend doing other things instead.  I am not as bad with Fridays as I used to be either.  I could never go to bed at first but now I go off to bed and get Friday night out of the way so that I can get on with the rest of the weekend.

Gayle it sounds like you had a good time on Friday with your friends.

Rosemary I'm glad you are writing again as I am looking forward to ready the rest of Tanglewood.

We had a good time in Manchester yesterday and I have posted a few photos on POA.  I'm looking forward to next weekend now Lynne although I need to work out when I am setting off and other practicalities like that.  Feels like a strange, dis-jointed day today already.  I am expecting a houseful later for the football and a bbq.  This birthday is definately easier than my last one without Chris but there is still a far bigger hole than I expected there to be this morning.  I am sure things will improve when the kids turn up later.  Hope everyone has a lovely day in the sun.  Take care.  Ailsa xxx
