Yes it’s the boot. I used to have a VW Caddy van to carry all my band equipment. Jackie had a Ford Focus Estate. She stopped driving in 2024, so got rid of the Focus.
As the band had supposedly played our last gig in April 2024, I sold the Caddy and we bought a 3 year old Nissan.
Jackie’s car was always full of receipts, tissues, bags etc. She used to have it valeted every now and then, but within a week or so, the car was a mess. My van was immaculate in the cab and the back wasn’t bad, even with equipment in. It’s probably my RAF background.
When we got the Nissan, I kept the boot and my side (drivers) of the car clean and tidy. Now the whole car is relatively clean.

I had a good day in town, it was nice to see people just enjoying the sunshine, but it made me sad seeing so many happy couples, why did Mark have to die?
I became really sad when I got home, but that’s to be expected, he’s not here, and never will be with me again.
Have a good sleep.
Me either john but i hope you get some at least its becoming harder to sleep i feel most nights its 4/5 am for me personally but take care be safe speak soon everyone take care hugs

Fell asleep in the wee small hours, listening to my book on Audible. Woke at 4am, my arm flailing about on what was Ian’s pillow on his side of the bed. I haven’t dreamed about him yet and I don’t know why, because he’s in my thoughts all day.
Fed the cat….back in bed with a cuppa, listening to a blackbird singing its wee heart out. Another day dawning.
You made me wonder whether I should try two pillows on the bed. Jackie had been sleeping downstairs for quite a few years while I slept in our bedroom, so I’ve been using one pillow in the middle of the bed.
I’ll try one on what used to be her side of the bed tonight
Yes Jim, hopefully they’re the same that’s on there. White Vinly Matt emulsion for walls and ceiling. It’s an attic room, hence the ceiling is the same as the walls. The end walls are a blue, so gone for a Duck egg blue. Jackie is probably up there now shouting, no it’s not. You should get "*****’
Still it’s only to make the room look presentable for viewing when I sell our house.

That’s the thing with 8 years old they’re always busy as they should be.
I have four granddaughters ages 20,16,11 and 8. It’s lovely to see them and I love watching them grow and see what their interests are…
We have to cherish each moment don’t we because in the blink of an eye they’re grown up…
