I did wonder if your husband was still with you as the last post I read said how poorly he was. I know there are no words but hope that the many friends you have made over the years will bring you a little solace and friendship. My heart goes out to you, give Tess a little pat on the head from me. From what I have learned about you through your writing I know you are no stranger to grief but hope that the happiness you have shared will pull you through, sending all my love, Val xxxAcornmoonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14982884920388966786noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-280582018791422638.post-78523611208670810562017-04-18T06:01:57.835-07:002017-04-18T06:01:57.835-07:00Good to hear you coped so well with the first day ...Good to hear you coped so well with the first day alone - no doubt Tess is good company too.<br />Do hope your Uke practise goes well - I love Mr.Pudding's idea !

I often feel tired for no apparent reason and quite frequently say to myself 'come on Missus' when a sit-down breather threatens to last too long. I make a list of jobs that I would like to do each day, but sometimes it takes three or four days before I tick them all off my list. They get done in the end. Good luck with the ukulele practice - I hope Tess doesn't join in!Heatherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06826501916623305535noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-280582018791422638.post-46904302461561586182017-04-17T12:26:25.400-07:002017-04-17T12:26:25.400-07:00P.S.

The walks seem to be rather special as well. Oddly enough it stuck in my mind how you followed a fairly rigid schedule for meals and I often used to think at 12:30 you were eating your main meal. <br /><br />I am glad you are blogging again.
