Yes R.T,L, sad news indeed.
Such a long acquaintance.
I had not known our Church organist for all the years he had been our organist ,but he played for 64 years , from being a young boy, his father before him.
What a loss, I only knew him for about 20 years.
He taught my daughter piano.
How brave to jump in a big deep pool, I could not do it!
Flash Harry is pressing the point home re his terrible pain after writing in school. He told the teacher it was her fault because she keeps making him write .! Well today he went to school, wore the mittens I knitted for him for
Christmas.
A phone call from the school re what had he done to his hands?
Mummy asked why,—- “ Because his hands are covered in sticking plasters!”
Anything to get out of writing !
I am not sure if he is clever or naughty!
Why he has such aversion to it I have no idea.
I know he is not firming his letters properly so he will be ready for cursive writing .. He does not seem to be corrected ,my word the teacher I worked with when there was a big intake , would not let that pass, but to be fair ours “ wrote “ in sand first ,correct formation - “ a— all the way round and up, down,flick” abut not like that a !
He is smart no doubt but so honest about it all, he “ fesses up” readily.
Glad you got through the formalities L.M. Such a worry.
We are in for a very cold night seemingly.
Son is quite ill, bad nasty cough, sweating and aching , had he not tested positive I would have thought he had the flu.
Phoned little lady who is almost blind and very deaf, and who has no proper heating in her house, to wrap up warm tonight as we are to have a really cold night .She weighs six stones!
I think it terrible people have to go back to work whilst still ill, makes no sense, however my son working from home has to carry on ,the emails keep coming regardless.
What a lovely day here,some freezing overnight ,ice here and there this morning butI got a big load of washing out ,so white and dry by mid afternoon .
Chicken breast fillets for tea, baked in foil with herbs and butter three ,so either chicken and chips with salad tomorrow tea or butties for lunch .
Well time to do milky coffees and biscuits ,then teeth and bed .
Thanks for your news, look after yourselves .
Thanks also for your kind enquiries re my son
I am just carrying on ,it is hard when in the same house ,I was not nearly so ill when I had Covid , a new strain perhaps.
However he was always a bit chesty, as a little boy , so is affected more than many have been I think.
Cheerio, I did not know whether to laugh or be a bit shocked at Flash Harry’s antics. The thing is he readily tells you ,no effort to lie but the little monkey did wear his mittens!
Cheerio.Viktoria.
