24/7

Cold up here. Still feels like March.

laughing in a restaurant.....surely not! Yes, a sign of a good time being had.

ive been struggling a bit again today. It's a hard time of year, 6 months Saturday, plus coming up to the time jons brain tumour was diagnosed last year. I can't help reliving those events. Oh, and I'm stressing over packing already and I don't go until Sunday.

im going looking at furniture for the house I am buying tomorrow, with my son so we will have a nice lunch out too. Hopefully that will cheer me up.

hope everyone else is doing ok.

Lynda,

I won't say I understand because I couldn't possibly but I am sure there are going to be times when it is extra hard for you with so many key events and memories. I am so impressed with how you are getting on and doing so many new and challenging things on your own. I bet your Jon would be extremely proud too.

Good luck with the packing, if you are anything like me it'll be in and out of the case a few times!

Love Jakki xxx

Lynda, all those firsts will be hard, thinking of you.....but making a move will hopefully help you make new memories in a new place. How's the arm doing? And I hope the sickness went? 

It's chilly here, too, even hubs (who doesn't feel the cold a lot) is still sat indoors, he tried out there in between the cloudy spells, came right back in again! We haven't had rain though. 

Feeling a bit better now the cold i was brewing a few days has come out and it isn't too bad, but with asthma it does usually end up chesty, keeping fingers crossed and keeping away from choir as it seems the deep breathing maybe sends the bugs down into chest. Hope that works! It means missing a concert though....

Sister Snail, how's Polly? Surely you have kittens out there by now? 

Hugs to you all xxx

Jakki, not being funny but I'm glad you don't understand (if you see what I mean).

Yes, Jon would be proud. Maybe I am pushing myself too hard, but I won't give in. You are right, I know Jon would be pleased to see me getting out and about and making new friends and a different social life.

exactly, I described it to my mum as Hokey Cokey packing.....it's what I do now. I did buy some travel scales so that I can weigh the case safely. Last time I was balancing on the bathroom scales, holding the case, trying to see the weight and I fell off!

You just gave me the funniest mental picture, good job I'm on my own as I actually laughed and snorted!

Thanks Moomy,

the he arm is fine, sickness all gone. Plus I have a course of ABs to carry with me in case it flares up while I am away.

Lynda, I think I blanked out the date when my Dad went from lung cancer, (was a daddies girl), dates sort of come and go.......

But you've lost your soul mate and it has to be much much harder. Jon would be really proud of you, taking on new stuff as you are. 

I love that, hokey cokey packing! Yes, I do that too, at least make a pile of stuff I'd like, but then go through it and chuck stuff back that I know I won't use! Maybe it's time to buy scales for cases?!?!?

Hugs xxx

Whenever I hear the Hokey Cokey it reminds me of a cruise we took on the Rhine with our then 17 year old.......he was singing it in German!
