LM - I'm very sorry to hear about your recent accident and all the trouble with getting the car problem sorted out.
I sympathise with you as I dislike filling anything in online. It is such a nuisance when computer says no, which can happen. I had to fill something out the other day online and it wouldn’t let me put in anymore than the first two letters of my first name. Sometimes I wish we could go back to the days of speaking to a person.
I hope the car won’t have to be written off and I also hope your confidence will come back soon. It wasn’t your fault but I daresay that it is probably natural that your confidence will have taken a little knock after this experience. Yes, as Threlfallyorky says - don't give up!
Viktoria I also join LM in hope your son does not suffer too long. Also, commiserate about Diana’s son having to return to work with Covid. Sometimes life feels a bit mad! In an ideal world he ought to be able to recover and still get paid whilst doing so.
Caroline, I’m looking forward to hearing more about your trip.
Candleflame, I woke up to a blanket of snow this morning. Thankfully, no commute today I am off. We have bright sunshine though and a nice blue sky and the snow is starting to thaw already. It doesn’t feel as cold as recently either.
Very sad news at Church on Sunday – one of our Church ‘Elders’ (CP) has died recently. He was only a few years older than me. I hadn’t even known he had been ill so it felt like quite a shock to hear this news. I have known him and his wife and family since I was in my twenties. He was a wonderful man; a born leader and a stalwart in the Church. He did so much for others and was so nice to everyone. Church had a subdued air on Sunday and I for one, felt very shocked to hear he has passed; it is an understatement to say he will be missed. SiL is on holiday at the moment but we are still corresponding by email and she is sending me news and photos of her holiday adventures. She knew him through Church events I have invited her to over the years. I won’t tell her about this until she comes back as I think she will be shocked and saddened too and I don’t want to dampen her holiday.
My little Grandson went in to the big pool for the first time at his swimming lessons on Saturday. Apparently, they had to jump in and swim a few lengths. He is the smallest and youngest in the class. My son told me that my Grandson had been nervous and he saw his knees were knocking. Although, Grandson told me that he wasn’t frightened he was just “cold”.
