A very bright ,sunny morning but sooooo cold.
Got washing in so will get wrapped up to hang it outside.
Tried to phone my friend who lost her son so suddenly just before Christmas,
she was really not acting as would be expected.
Not a drama Queen ever but so composed, and now I can imagine it has really hit her hard.
Not answering the phone nor emails ,I left a message on her younger son’s phone but nothing from him either.
Phoned my little friend to remind her to put a note out for the Postman who will be re delivering a parcel that had not enough postage on it ,it needs £1-50 more .She does not hear the knocker but does have a very loud bell so I made a notice for her to put on the door asking that the bell be rung.
She had decided the note would offend the postman and the parcel would not be left!
So I explained it might cost her more if the Postman had to come back again.
It took me nearly an hour at weekend sorting it out on the phone for her.
The bell in her bedroom does not work but so she was up , and hopefully it is sorted today.
She has so many worries but sadly many are of her own making , but she has really big problems and is an anxious nervous person , it is really sad.
I will put on my Arctic combinations,thermal socks,hat and thermal gloves, and a padded jacket to hang out the washing !
Brrrrrrrr!
To quote Oates, in the Antarctic —— “ I am going outside,and may be a little time” ,what a brave unselfish man.
( I used to say that quote when going on yard duty with the youngest infants ,the school yard can be very daunting for them ,so I was big and brave and I went out every playtime .I remind God of that now and again, I mean- I could have been warm and having a coffee in the Staff Room !)
Saint Viktoria.
Hope all are warm and safe.
