.... And Gone

So my mother has been cremated and we were all, loads of us, very sad

Back To Walea

So here we are sitting in the airport having had loadsa visitors s'morning some of whom took Freya off to Aldergrove airport whereas we are at City Airport. Dad and Gareth came out here to say goodbye then we had to come past checkin. A strange few days of stress is finished now

Goodbye

So we said goodbye to my Mother today as my Father waded out to sea and then poured her ashes into the water, followed by many small bunches of flowers one from each of her kids, one from me delivered by Freya and one from my sister, delivered by one of her kids

Crematorium

Well, so my Mum was cremated today. It was saddening and tearful but I met loadsa relatives I haven't seen for years etc

Nightime - That's Today Over

Phew. So most of today has been full of sad folk but I have dine mu thing. We popped up to David&Nora's and got my suit our of their cupboard etc. Tomorrow we are going early to fetch Freya from the International Airport then bring her to the hotel then get dressed up and head to the funeral

We Are Here Now

With loads of sad relatives etc

Waiting

So we are sat in the Airport drinking coffee and waiting

And we have flown over now, waiting for the queue to get out of the way

Phew

So s'morning I said to Timmy that my shoe device wasn't working (like me and yesterdays MOS had looked at) he said "Ah, the contact sensor, we have a spare" and it all works much better now. Cheers Timmy

Flying Again

So we are back off to Belfast dead early s'mornin'

Where Mum's Going Today

I wish I was there

Forgetful

So me & GGtGG headed out s'morning. We carried on past the gym and I said "Where are we going?", he replied "To the docs for your injection".

Oh yes, I knew yesterday but had forgotten s'morning

So we are heading to gym after an early lunch has time to be digested some....

And here I am cycling 10km. I have about 1.5 to go...

Edgy

I am feeling a bit edgy and grumpy today.

I have just shouted at GGtGG because he tried to talk me out of refusing to go to Aqua Aerobics. He tried to insist that I did go and it all went downhill rather quickly....

Early Start Mañana

So I have had to set another alarm as we need to be up an hour earlier than usual tomorrow to catch the plane to Belfast for the funeral

Growing

And I have just been out to water the trug for the first time in ages (well 2 days) and it is looking good, loads of big shoots growing. But I couldn't stop and take photos as it is fscking raining.

Which means that I didn't need to water the small new plant in the front garden but trug and greenhouse are waterproof.....

Off Out

And we are going out tonight to a comedy night at The Lyric Theatre in Carmarthen that we bought tickets to a few weeks ago. S'morning I thought we would be way too busy and I wasn't looking forward to it at all. (It was a 50:50 call whether I would go or not). After Sara said "Don't travel 50 m to see me today" I feel the pressure has dropped somewhat and I feel a bit better about going.

I still feel a bit grieving but will try being cheerful

Well that was strange. So we had a total of 5 customers who had paid to see it, 3 of whom were sitting behind me and GGtGG. So I was the holiest of the holy but.......

Sigh

Well after jabbing we popped to gym where I got stuck into pulling/pushing activities. Today I was doing the push upwards exercise machine, the one that a while ago I was only able to do 7 or 8 pushes, today I managed 27 and I was getting my right arm all the way up

Jabbing

And we are on the way to the hospital for my blood test now

Less Busy

Then I got an email s'morning saying "Sara the physio is off today" which makes today slightly less busy

Hospital

So tomorrow morning we need to go have a blood test at the hospital so they can check my testosterone levels and see what kind of injection they will give me on Wednesday

Hooray.....

Summertime

Ah, lovely weather today
