Sunday May 10 th.
My eldest son’s Silver Wedding day today.
No celebrations, I won’t see them but will phone in a while.
Sent a cheque, they are re organising their garden so perhaps something for that.
They had planned a holiday in Corfu, but that has gone down the spout!
Normally I would be up to my elbows in icing ,doing a gargantuan cake but not this year.
G Grandson is four tomorrow,no kisses and hugs ,just a phone call.
I have to remember I am GREAT grandma and my daughter is Nanny,so just as with my M in L ,and my grandchildren, I was the more familiar figure in their lives ( both my parents were dead).
They live now very close to my daughter,but of course no actual contact .
His carrots have survived his ” drownding”, he now has some purple ones down.
Roobarb,I have developed a very Cavalier attitude to housework, and also this house is so much cleaner than my last one ,which was on a main road with nose to tail traffic at peak times.
This one is off a main road and other than the occasional hearse only the traffic of residents comes along it.
So much cleaner.
Tidiness is my problem, I leave things on view so I don’t forget to deal with them and after a time I don’t see them anymore,they become fixtures!
Then I have a gargantuan tidy up, feel smug and it starts again.
At the moment there are tins of tomatoes,red beans and baked beans etc on the stairs.Tesco delivery which they duplicated!
I take some up each time I go upstairs ,to my little grocery shop in the box room.But I am starting to pass them ,unnoticed, as I go up!
Perhaps they will become “ Modern Art” ,I will be “ Avant Garde”.
Such trivia in these trying times.
Well off to phone my son and daughter in law, so Cheerio folk,keep safe and well.
Just a P.S.an advert in a magazine or something ,where people make contact with a view to marriage , “ Eligible batchelor, Own home, good job ,early 50’s
has toilet rolls, would like to meet——-“
He is a bit late with that one!
Viktoria.
