Evening all.
Took the girls to see the red arrows today. Was a nice afternoon on the beach.
We also took mum as she loved them.
Heart in the sky for our mums and Doug.
Lots of love,

Hi all,
I seem to have missed so much and will catch up more when home but having an amazing time in London and so hot down here lol x
@NEILB72 thought of you a few times as the Royal Opera House is just down from our hotel and have seen loads of adverts for shows Iāve heard you mention. Went to the National history museum today and itās free lol x
@Tina19ā¦I would have loved your toaster as I like my toast half cooked 
x
@Debbie57ā¦love a cat cafe and only ever been to one with my nieces years ago. Yeah thatās Cal in my profile pic 
x
@LucyF90ā¦what kind of dogs do you have? Sorry if Iāve already asked this but memory is dire at times lol x yeah living in the house I used to share with my mum is sometimes hideous but sometimes comforting but often lonely but never alone x
@Bekiā¦mum and I went to Grand Canyon but never had guts to go on a helicopter. Were you staying in Vegas when you visited there? x be nice to see your grandad at end of week x
@nicnicā¦that was a nice idea to take you mumās box with you today. Thought of you wandering about today as saw a shop called āMorāā¦have no idea what it sold but made me think of you x
@christine51ā¦hun let us know youāre ok or not okā¦we just care and miss you (no pressure or guilt implied) x

Haha Iām pretty sure you havenāt asked that question so no need to worry about your memory! Iāve got a chihuahua and a Pomeranian, they are my absolute saviours right now. I think being moved will personally do me good, but who knows, in time I might be happy to be here.
Some lovely photos youāve taken there, looks like you had a great weekend!

Hello All
Christine - sending you kindness and looking forward to more of your garden pictures soon.
Suzanne - I love your gorgeous photos, Youāve managed to get yourself from one end of the UK to the other whereas I can seem to get myself motivated to get to the other side of town right now.
Neil - You must miss the shows when you donāt have anything booked. Itās nice you get to meet the stars as well. Lucky that you have so many theatres where you are or at least a distance you can travel to quite easily.
Nic - Red Arrows!, I remember watching those many a time on the promenade at Blackpool. Prom used to be heaving afterwards. Nice gesture taking Mum, what a lovely idea.
Debbie - Never heard of a cat cafe, how fascinating. The photos are fantastic as well. Iāll have to find out more about those.
Beki - I must have a nosy streak as I love seeing peopleās gardens. Iām the same with tidying the outside first and leaving the inside last. If cleanliness was indeed next to godliness I wouldnāt be in line for any brownie points thatās for sure.
Lucy - No, Iām not a heatwave person. Iām always relieved when I can go out with my jacket on to hide my lumps and bumps and wobbly bits of flesh! Although you see plenty bigger than me that donāt seem to be bothered about how they look. I should be the same. I know what you mean about the support of a partner. I wonāt find another partner again. I donāt have a wish to look really. I know some people do find happiness again Iāll probably end my days a bitter old woman! In fact it does actually worry me about what the future will be.
Well. Itās gone 1.15am but canāt sleep. Keep going over a things. Should have got a bottle of wine from the Co-Op but I donāt think Iād make a merry drinker, I think Iād be an argumentative and depressed one. I donāt even drink.
Anyway love to you all. xx

Hi Suzanne
So glad youāve had a great time in London and thank you for posting your fabulous photos.
Was Wicked just as good as when you saw it last and what did you think of Frozen? I saw that about a month before Mum passed and thought it was really good. One of my stagey friends is in the cast- Steph who plays Princess Anna.
Theatre Royal Drury Lane is one of my favourites and itās just been renovated by Andrew Lloyd-Webber. As for the Royal Opera House what a building that is. Many happy times in there and at the stage door with my ballet friends. Iām actually back there next week for some opera!
Glad you went to the Natural History Museum too. Another fabulous building . Last time I went there was when I was at school! Did go past it last week on the way to the RAH though.
Do you feel the same as what I do when I go into London that it really lifts your spirits and puts your mind in a good place ?
Speak again soon and have a safe journey back.
Sending love and best wishes

Hope everyone is as ok as they can be. Iāve woken up with my friend āfunkā today. Wish heād bugger off. Was a nice afternoon yesterday too with the girls so donāt know why I feel down today.
I hope everyone had as good a weekend as they could.
Loving all the pictures.
Tina I donāt think Iād be a good drunk at the moment either! Probably drown myself in a sea of tears.
Lots of love to you all. I do mean to reply individually but I forget and get so lost with the posts but thinking of it oh all.
Lots of love,

Iāve also woken up with that friend today, finding it hard to shake. Maybe after a nice dog walk I can start to feel a bit better. I hope you shake yours soon.

Hi everyone
Not feeling great at all today. Probably my worst day for 3 weeks. Feeling sad throughout the morning and just had a call to say Mums wheelchair and other equipment will be collected tomorrow. It has to happen because it was on loan but just made me feel so sad again.
I expected a bad day to be around the corner a really good couple of weeks or so but I know good days will happen again .
Sending love and best wishes to you all

Hi Neil,
That must be really hard, even though you knew it had to go it still doesnāt make it any easier. It is good to hear that youāve had a good few weeks, gives me some hope to hold onto, I know Iām a long way off yet but it still helps.
Itās great that you are optimistic about good days again. I hope your day gets a bit easier.

Sounds like lots of hugs needed all round today!
I too have the Monday funks but more mini funk that full blown funk!
Any one else get that horrid feeling when things donāt feel too bad you start obsessing on when it will feel bad again?! Just call me the Queen of catastrophising!
Itās granddads birthday today, looking forward to him visiting later this week.
At work today so better get to it. I am not a tennis fan so miserable Wimbledon is on - I like to have my naff afternoon tv on in the background when I work. Hopefully Channel 5 will have plenty of naff films and Iāll find some on demand lol.
One day at a time folks and will check in with you all later

I do that I throughout the day, if I start to feel a bit better I worry when itās going to hit again, Iām sure itās all very normal in our circumstances.
Happy birthday to your granddad! It will be nice to have him staying.
I hope you found something good to watch, Iāve been watching Snowflake Mountain, these people are so funny.

Work wasnāt bad. Managed to get some tasks done and @LucyF90 I had Snowflake Mountain on in the background!
Now sat watching tv having stuffed my face with chicken pie and mash.
