He doesn't really like having his photo taken but at least he played along when I positioned my phone on the breakfast bar.
Has to be one memorable Birthday for its 'nonbirthdayness'!
The unusual highlight of the day was a trip to Tesco for some food items we had run down to zero.
I was at school so he drove 6 miles to Inverurie for the first time this year and created the best chilli recipe for dinner. Later we had lovely chats with the young ones on zoom.
It has been quite a week....I wrote 4 sympathy letters to families up north who had lost loved ones....none Covid related and three were over 90, some had been at school with Mum.
And this morning my lovely friend's husband passed away peacefully in hospital after just two days there, in a very quiet caring space despite everything else going on there.
Three good things
1. Bubble play at school. I took some photos of the bubbles a little girl had blown and one looked bigger than the watery sun in the photo.
2. Gentleness ....makes all the difference in sad situations. The nurse who called my friend this morning was so caring and unhurried.
3. Champagne before dinner! Good to celebrate a birthday even if just the two of us at home!!!!
This has to be one of the most strange weeks I've ever had!!
Thank you for your part in my life....just recording events so often.
Sounds like you've had quite a week, right enough. Celebrations, sympathy, family but above all lots of love all around. Happy Birthday to your man - imagine getting a birthday trip to Tesco as a gift? He doesn't know he's born, so to speak! xx
Happy Birthday Allan. It still sounded a happy day despite the usual non celebratory happenings...I think you would quite like the trip to Tesco for food stuffs!! It’s surprising how the usual ‘norms’ in our lives become adventures.
So many deaths around Sallie but they will all be remembered with love. I’m sure you’re a great comfort to them all.
A lovely photo... It's really a special moment when you capture a lovely picture of someone who doesn't like having their picture taken (I get it as my son is the same). So pleased the day felt special and that you feel connected - so important at this time.
Happy birthday to your good husband. Yes these times are driving us all mad. Not really, but I do have my moments. I went to our card store oh 6 weeks ago and purchased 6 sympathy cards. I have two left. None for Covid but just older friends.
