Good morning Friday

[Gal2]

It’s so sad isn’t it? I’m always shocked at the speed of wakes/funerals in NI, here it could take up to a month!

Tom and I have been to Dalton Park this morning, an outlet shopping centre near us. He wanted a shirt to wear for the evening do tomorrow (wedding day at last) so we got that then went for a coffee before returning home. I’ve made a small alteration to my dress, the top felt a bit big when I tried it again last week so I’ve taken it in roughly. Hope it holds!

Weather is windy and bright with the odd shower, we passed through a sleety one!

Have a good Friday all, Jo that’s great news that you’re free!! Xx

Good evening.
It's been quite a busy day, and a blinking cold one.
We have been to Aldi and B&M, to the paper shop, Sainsbury's and to Halford's in a fruitless attempt to buy a new car seat for Eliza.
We went there to support your local shop and picked a seat only for the assistant (who was run off his feet) to tell us it wasn't in stock. Amazon here we come.
I've cooked out tea and opened a bottle of Portuguese red wine. We've had a few bottles of Portuguese red and been pleasantly surprised.
Jan, a holiday? You off to Skeggy?
I hope you've all has a good day.

I meant Kaz

I've have actually been looking at Fuzeta, where we used to live, but need the infection rate to come down a lot more first.

Just found out a friend died a couple of weeks ago. He'd been ill for a long time, a brain tumour.

Been grey and not that warm all day. We even had some drizzle earlier. Nopt much, but the now weed free flower beds are a different colour. Amazing how 15C can feel so cold. I'm sat in the "garden room" with a thick jacket on and a blanket over my legs - just like a proper granny

I'm really sorry about your friend Jan xx

This is the holiday we moved from May '20 to May '21, and then on to this May, thanks to covid It actually looks like we might get there this time, so I've dared to put a ticker on
