Sunday evening, 31-03-24

Five years ago, early on Sunday morning, also Mothering Sunday, my dear Mum passed away in hospital after a stroke.  She was 92.  Today I have been remembering her with the greatest affection.


RIP, Mum.  I miss you greatly.


Good evening, everyone.  Just a very quick post as I've just posted the one about Norwich which is pretty long.
It's been a nice day.  Beth and Alex came over and we had lunch together and a really nice chat through the afternoon.  Just a quiet family time.
The sinuses are still twinging a bit, not bad enough for tablets but I think I will dose up before going to bed, just in case.  I can get some decongestant tomorrow if it's really necessary.

As for tomorrow, I have absolutely no plans whatsoever.  No fitness sessions, nothing.  I'll probably do some washing and some housework and then chill.  If it is nice and sunny, a walk might be good.  I haven't checked what the forecast is and, to be honest, it really doesn't matter anyway.
What are your plans for Bank Holiday Monday?

Sleep tight, everyone.  xx

  3. It's hard to understand how someone so vibrant can suddenly not be here any longer.
    Hope your sinuses have stopped playing up now. x x x

    1. A few twinges now and again but nothing bad. It's fine, thanks.
      Yes, I find it hard to accept that all that personality, energy and vibrancy just goes. But not forgotten . . .

  4. What a beautiful photo of your Mum. Hope you managed a good night’s sleep and are going to enjoy a relaxing day at home. We are doing very little today as the temperature has dropped again so no gardening today. Catriona

  6. That's a lovely photo of your mum. How's the sinuses this morning. I've picked up a rotten cold and feel rough as old boots.

    1. Oh, poor love, that's so miserable for you. The sinuses are much better, thanks. Just residual twinges.
      Look after yourself and rest up as much as you can. xx

  7. It is still so hard isn't it. I lost my mum only a few weeks later and she was 92 too. I miss her terribly but try and remember all the good times and what a wonderful mum she was to me and my brother.. Glad you were able to share your own happy memories with Beth and Alex.
