Good morning. Glad I am not the only one that has turned up. I spent a long time in my garden yesterday tending our roses. The gardening was something we shared and I missed him. I talk to him constantly.
We could do with more beer and skittles in this club!

Good morning! Iā€™m here as well. Got back yesterday from a wonderful weekā€™s holiday in Northumberland. Thereā€™s no doubt what my priorities are today - washing laundry, unpacking all the myriad of things I couldnā€™t possibly do with out for a week!!! But Iā€™m also taking time out to remember the things I did, which were often what Penny and I did together over the years. An odd emotional moment, but lots of happy memories of them, and new memories as well.
But Iā€™ve definitely come back to earth , I bumped my car (a bit) whilst away, so Iā€™ve got to sort that out, but then looked at my post and realised my car tax and MOT ran out while I was away. As my hero, Pooh, would say: ā€œHo Humā€

I am glad you enjoyed your holiday, and I admire your determination.
Itā€™s always a bit of a downer when you get back.
Still, at least you are quoting Pooh instead of Eeyore!

Iā€™d rather be like Tigger, but I lost a lot of my bounce some years ago :wink: :grin:

I find Sundays the hardest day to get through. Nobody calls the phone never rings, i imagine everyone is spending time with family that i donā€™t have so feel very alone. My beautiful husband died on a Sunday so another reason to hate this day.

In reality not everyone is with friends or family, many people are on their own or with partners who are abusive or unwell with things like dementia. I know a couple of those. Still a tough day to get through though.

Ahh, but as we all know, the wonderful thing about Tigger is heā€™s the only one!
If you have lost your bounce, go trampolining, or ā€œrebound therapyā€as it is called at my daughterā€™s day centre.

@mary2 I agree. We see these couples out together and sometimes feel a little envious, but I was in relationship for 26 years before where, for the last few years I couldnā€™t stand him. We looked like the ideal couple who had everything, but I was totally miserable and couldnā€™t see an escape route. When I finally made the break everyone was shocked. So, bear in mind that a lot of couples we see might be very unhappy together, and are just going through the motions, perhaps even jealous of us and our independence!
Anyway, Iā€™ve been out blackberry picking with my dog, now off to a NT garden I havenā€™t visited before. No plans to see anyone until my yoga class tomorrow, but I have a new book for later this pm.
Try to make the most of your day, I know itā€™s tough but we need to keep wading through the fogā€¦

Hi. Iā€™m a bit later joining today as walked the dog and then met an old friend for breakfast.
She has not long left her partner of 20 years and although it was a good thing for her to do as the relationship was emotionally abusive, it is still hard for her.
We talked about a mural friend who is also in a difficult relationship and it made me remember how truly lucky me and my husband were to have such a good marriage for over 30 years.
I am thankful for that and try for that to be a positive. When I shared that I should be grateful and less sad as I had been so lucky she replied ā€œbut that is what makes it so especially hard ā€œ
Which is very true.
Iā€™m going to try tackle some housework today and order some shirts online for my daughter going back to school.
Have as good a Sunday as can be. X

Itā€™s good to hear you had a good holiday, I love ā€œPoohā€ my mentor :slightly_smiling_face:
I am ok with Sundays, my husband died on a Saturday still the weekend though but I donā€™t focus on ā€˜Dā€™ day, we both enjoyed Sundayā€™s so I keep up the tradition. I find nice things to do or simply relax and unwind after the working week or take time out to reflect on the lovely memories of our life together. Today has been housework chores but I put my music on and go about what I need to do. Tonight off to a pub quiz.
Hope everyone has a nice Sunday doing whatever you all like doing
