Introduction

Good Morning to all you lovely people at the Great WA Family, as always do so hope that you are all keeping both safe and well. Yes, it really is morning for a change instead of afternoon or evening, the reason is simple I am a lot more organised today, also a lot happier, as I would like to do a lot things today, thought that I would get the most important task done early, allowing me time to do other tasks. Hopefully this will mean me not having to rush later, should the planning go a little awry or not getting done.

The Past Few Days

It would be so easy to blame the weather, but truth be told despite the good that the trip to Torquay did me, it has not been a good week, just not been good at all. Not my physical health, more my mental state, if that is the right way to put it! Just been totally fed up with everything, did speak to a friend also a close cousin and they both said that I have just got to realise that this will happen, and try to understand that it will take a long time to get over losing Yvonne, also that it will almost certainly never go away totally. I do think that I do not want it to go away, but I have got to learn to cope and deal with it, whichever way suits me best, OK rant and moan over, though, I must confess having you wonderful people here does help a great deal, so thank you for that.

As you will gather I have not done a great deal this week, did decide that as it is Yvonne's birthday next week to go away for a few days, as I am not sure how I will handle being here. Went online to Travel Lodge, three days in Skegness just for the room and no food, would cost me more than six days with breakfast cost me in Torquay. So that idea was shelved, instead I have done some retail therapy, added to my stamp collection and also my garden.

In additon when I was in the spare (Guest) bedroom, which is full of junk at the moment, I found a model kit, unopened, it is of HMS Victory, I bought it before Christmas as a present from me to me! The background is simple, many years ago when I was at school I did build plastic models, this contiued when I joined up, when on leave I built a model of HMS Victory, complete with hand tied rigging, I was really proud of this, even put it in a very large plastic bag to keep the dust off, it stood on the landing at home on a chest of drawers, until the day that I came home and Mum said that she was sorry but she had knocked it over. It was a mess, so I threw it out. I have always wanted to build another one, even discussed it wih Yvonne who said but where would you put it, so that was shelved until before Christmas when I saw a kit and bought it. Whilst writing this have just had a light bulb moment where it could go, so that could be a plan when I get bored.

It has remained unopened until this week, it is possible that I might begin to build it, but we will see, could be better for those long winter evenings when I cannot get in the garden.

Talking of which I was actually in there straight after breakfast, when I went down the garden last night to check on the watering I noticed that the path which leads ffrom the kitchen patio to the main garden had a couple of brambles beginning to grow across it, as I am wearing shorts at the moment (OK, Not a pretty sight) did not wish to be scratched by them, so cut them out, as I was doing so noticed that one of my hardy fuschias was growing again, so I cleaned the weeds from around that, and guess what? it really gave me my impetus back. So did my daily jobs, grabbed a coffee, and decided to do my blog to you first, dinner is easy microwave ready meal as it is Sunday, still eating my home grown Raspberries so that is desert sorted.

Ended up chairing the committee meeting again as the Chairman did not turn up, I think that he is too busy being the leader of his party at the Council!

Had a really rubbish day on Friday, but was cheered up when I arrived at the cricket ground chatting to people that I had noot seen for weeks. Good job as the cricket was awful!!

My mood today is a lot better.

The Next Few Days

This will of course depend on a number of things, but if things go according to plan it should be a much better week as I am beginning to relax more and accept what has happend witha clearer train of thought.

On Wednesday instead of going away I wil possibly go to a garden centre and have a decent lunch, but will see how I feel then.

Be happy, healthy and wealthy.

Please do stay safe and take care,

God Bless
