Wrong?

No.2 has planned a trip to Thailand.  My grandfather died building the Burma Railway and No.2 wanted to visit (probably last big adventure on his own before him and H settle down maybe?). He was not sure about going and I was worried about him going on his own but he is a big boy and the trip will be interesting, reflective and at the end of the day, there is nothing much he can do at home while we wait for the funeral.

I spent most of the morning on the phone/computer - trying to co-ordinate crematorium and celebration venue in London is not easy.  JC felt the pub where the reception was due to take place would work - No James - it is a pub on a red route and you have to think about practicalities like parking etc.

We had planned to see No.2 for a quick cup of tea and cake before he sets off tomorrow but we didn't arrive until gone 5.00.  We saw the cats and chatted and admired the homely touches H has introduced to the flat.  No.2 suggested a visit to Westfield (he wanted to buy a few pairs of shorts  really?!  The day before he goes away?!).  He drove us to Westfield and we meandered around a few shops and all I could think was 'Aimee would like that, that's a nice colour, she would love that'...........  We found ourselves in Nando's (only my second time) and he ordered and paid for a couple of platters - but I was really tearful and emotional thinking we shouldn't be here doing this?  I hope Aimee understands?  

Day done.
