Birthdays

Not just Mollies 13th birthday today, but B’s too. Given that the last two days have been so awful, i was we expecting the worst, but it seems that the cliche of the build up is worse may be true. Despite the car failing it’s MOT and costing more than it should have if I’d dealt with it earlier today has been better. The doctors surgery has improved, with a queue system telling you what number you are. When I did get through she asked if I could fill in an online form if she sent a link. Long story short, I did and within an hour received a text that they had sent a prescription direct to the chemist. I just had to pick it up. 

I have stressed all day though about the ‘marsh widows’. A group of ladies meeting at a local pub to which I had been invited. It didn’t help that it was B’s birthday. But, I knew that if I didn’t go I would regret not having made the effort. It was a good move! 6 ladies, one who had lost her husband nine years ago, one whose husband died two days before B (they called us the newbies) and others all in between. I am glad I went. Honest, frank talking and laughter too. People who understand. It was so good to share and listen. 

The flowers were from Peter and Michaele, and if you’re still reading my blip, thank you, so very thoughtful. X
