Thursday 14th January

Things have been a little tough this week, lots of emotional stuff to deal with, and not really me- sadly close friends. I don't really want to go into any great detail on this blog, lots of people out there are poorly or have close family who are not well.

So, whilst I have had high points, like getting to the final in a badminton tournament on Monday night, winning our first netball match this year on Tuesday and doing all the usual stuff that does my mind and body good. It doesn't take away the sadness and pain I feel for my friends, and particularly the utter helplessness.

Of course, selfishly it does impact on my own situation and so I have been pleased to go to Macmillan twice this week and get some support (complementary therapy and yoga class), plus I called up my friend from hospice today and she suggested i book an appointment next week to see her.  A wise decision, and I know she'll arm me with 'tools' that I can empower myself with, and hopefully pass onto the others.

We had a choir 'meeting' last night, CB has been in hospital and will be unable to continue to conduct and organise us, so we needed to see if we could sort something out between us. There was lots of encouraging vibes that we came out thinking we will certainly give it a go. Suggestions to bring in songs we would like to sing so  I'll be stealing music sheets from my sister and father-in-law.

A very important event on Saturday AB's 70th birthday.... and although I won't be able to share it with her, we ( lots of the family) are getting together in April for a bit of a 'do'....  

My (much younger) badminton partner....

Happy birthday 16/01/16
