Waiting..

…. and watching and time for thinking.

I went with Big Sis to her choir concert this evening. I used to go regularly but haven’t for some while for several reasons, all legitimate, but I was glad to be there this time. Beautiful music, good voices and a good way to end the day.

We got there early and there was time to just sit as the choir gathered before the concert began. My thoughts keep coming back to my friend who’s lost her husband and soul mate. My thoughts won’t help her in these awful days but she’s been very honest in her grief and I think sometimes we need to know its rawness and not except or want too much too soon in our eagerness to convey our thoughts. We can and do send our love.

Another very hot day which began with quiet pootling in the garden, tidying and dead- heading, raking the fallen lavatera flowers and trying to decide where to plant our treasures from last Thursday’s visit to Hampton Court. Actually breaking into the soil would be a start!
