Memory Lane

I took myself off to BW today (OH playing golf).  I wanted some new trousers for holiday and also a lightweight jacket.  I had a wander and did my usual 2 laps (upstairs and downstairs).  I stopped for a coffee and felt really sad.  A lady sat down next to me with her daughter and it made me think - Aimee and I used to love our shopping trips and would take it in turns to do 'hangers' while the other one tried on.  We would stop and have a coffee and our favourite 'Posh Cheddar' in Pret.  I feel so lonely without her in my life.  She was the person who I would most want to do things with.  I know that would have changed as she perhaps had a family of her own..........but I felt bereft and lost interest in shopping.  

Home to sort out OH lunch as he is off to football tonight so ate at lunch.  I spent a few hours on the computer looking at IHT400 - trying to get to grips with the forms and boxes to be filled in - probably more daunting than it needs to be?

The picture today is a throw back to 1998 - I found an album on the shelf - No2 playing Jenga with some wood that was left over while the conservatory was being built.  Seems like a lifetime ago.
