I was thinking that life is starting to move more quickly - the days pass with less effort – I have a feeling they will be rushing by soon – so I must cherish and relish each one.

I’m looking forward to going back to work – I am rehearsing next week and getting things sorted. Glad I’m not going back on Monday though, as I have a plumber coming round to sort out the toilet and an engineer to fix the washing machine which decided to stop working today!

Rob and I went IPWD today and decided to postpone the ashes scattering until later in December – we went to the chosen tree and had a sad moment – then came back and Jimmy was sorting out his files for school – which is very good!
