… when you feel your feet are spinning and you’re getting nowhere. That was today.
In the morning, I drove over to Larky to pick up my new computer glasses. They weren’t high tech ones, just much more comfortable for working on laptops and desktops without being too close or too far away. Goldilocks glasses, in other words. That was the morning dealt with.
Next was a quick lunch followed then a change of clothes into something more suitable, to drive over to the funeral parlour. We wanted to listen to what the the funeral arranger had to say. Neither Scamp nor I had much to add to the discussion, we were just there for Shona. When we came away an hour later we had a much better idea of what was going to happen.
To allow everyone to talk about the decisions that were made, we went for a cup of tea in a local pub. That allowed us to breath more easily and to compare all our thoughts on the last hour. There is so much to discuss and so many questions. I’m sure we’ll have even more in the coming weeks. The funeral arranger had been very good and didn’t pressurise anyone into making a hasty decision, which was good.
After the discussion group broke up, two driving to Warrington, one going home and us returning to ‘the real world’ and heading to Tesco for The Messages!
Back home, it was my turn to make the dinner which was to be Cod and Prawns with Fennel and White Wine. It sounds very grand, but is a fairly easy dinner to make as long as you plan well ahead, which I rarely do.
PoD today was a flower by the wayside.
Now I’m intending to do two sketches (one for yesterday and one for today) and finish the blog. Wish me luck.
