It seems I'm a patient now!

He looks lovely . What breed is he ?

He’s a miniature Schnauzer, and coming up for 3 years old, astonishingly. He’s very affectionate but still tries to protect and guard.
I’m a bit concerned in that I’m going to have to shut him in the kitchen while I get the shopping delivery, Son has gone out to meet up with one of his pupils and her accompanist for her Grade 8 cello exam. I’m sure Henry will be good but I think I need to get his bark collar on ready!

Henry-pup was so good with the shopping though of course he had to sniff it when I brought it through! Not a single woof!

son and I took him out for the nightly wee….

Glad he was a good boy for the shopping delivery. He must be such a comfort and distraction at this time, hope you manage some lovely walks with him and your son when weather allows, hugs xx

Henry is at present curled up in the crook of my knees on my bed, he stayed in his bed all night but once I get up to make my coffee, my bed was fair game when we get back (after he’s had his breakfast of course!) 

so yes, he is a welcome distraction and a comfort. But I’m not enough convinced to have a pooch myself. They are a tie of course.

It’s an odd time, between death and funeral, a bit of limbo when nothing seems real. 

Son was dealing with things so well but I’ve escalated one bit of the planning of the funeral by calling the company who filmed us years ago to explain our problems; we want to use the film but of course there are copyright problems. The media company who stream the funeral for those who live away have raised their problem with an ambiguous reference in the emails. I hope that’s now going to be sorted. 

Son was finding it so hard to cope yesterday. He said this morning how things have hugely moved on in the funeral business, 20 years ago when he started they didn’t even use computers, very few had printed orders of service even. Now it’s media, films, photos and so on.

It is indeed a strange time, surreal but oh so real. Everything is so computer driven these days, just trying to get hold of a person to talk something through is impossible. Your son has been doing an amazing job so not surprised things have caught up with him. How is your daughter coping? Xx

Santababy, daughter is coping in small amounts, it’s the same way that she coped with her own long long illness to be honest. She’s always available for chats about it all but trusts us both to get on with all that’s needed. 

I worry for son as I think it’s going to hit him a bit when it’s all over. 

Hubs was a hoarder but also a lover of and pretty expert DIY-er and has a garage full of woodworking machinery. We are going to find it hard to clear, I want it to go to someone who will use it or to sell to someone who wants it.

I had another ‘sign’ today; I cleared some of the stuff in the bathroom cabinet and later found a toothpick on the floor which I hadn’t seen when clearing…..who knows? I was thinking about hubs all the time I was clearing.

Son took Henry-pup for a walk, both were tired when back (did you know sniffs tire dogs out! - no I didn’t either!)
