Total concentration

Today started well, gots lots of 'to do's' done. Spoke with daughter who said she had a doctor appointment after picking the children up from school - was I available. That was good and the first thing that tested me was "can we have crisps". As Mum had said NO there was no negotiation but a healthy option fruit bar was OK. And then to referee the choice of TV programme to watch - no dispute so todays blip is their total concentration.
The day then turned for the worse. Just after I got home from from the grandchildren I had a call to say that a dear photographic friend who was on holiday in Spain had died this morning following a massive heart attack. The evening has been spent on many difficult telephone conversations.
