MONDAYS DIARY

Good morning friends, after a rather bad Saturday night and worse Sunday, I am back, still flat, but here! It would have been my Dads birthday yesterday and the pain of him not being here was so bad, one of the worst I have felt, since his first birthday without him.

I set my alarm for church, but just couldn’t bring myself out of bed to face the day? Lay for a few moments, feeling really guilty about not going, then came downstairs and tidied the Nativity play! I hope we can get two good actors? Mary and Gabriel? Oh, having said that, the Inn keeper has to be a bit of a character too? I have been asked to show the play, but, hahaha, I’m trying to sell it to the BBC, and ITV want the rites too, but I’m holding out on them, you know what it is like? Get the best price an all?

“Oh, sorry, did I just drop off to sleep for a while?” Haha, Really though, I will post it after the event, but it will be a great day and I am looking forward to seeing the children perform and there is some great music in it played by a handsome fella on piano! A man who I think is a bit of a hunk and after the play; I hope he will take me out for Sunday lunch? Will keep you posted?

My poor dear Son is going through hell at the moment. He is learning about his real Father. I really wish he would stop messing with his mind.  It takes two intelligent and calm parents to make sure a divorce does not affect the child and he is not intelligent, and I am not calm.

My Son is such a good boy. He told me on Saturday night, that he would not go out with his friends on the Sunday daytime. When I asked why not, he replied

“It’s your Dads birthday; I don’t want to leave you alone?” Bless him, what fifteen year old would do that? I of course told him I would be fine and he was to go out, but he didn’t.

Like on Halloween, he did not want to go out in case some person or people came to the door trick or treating. He is such a lovely person, of course not and nowhere near perfect, but as close as I will ever get.

He has an amazing brain, but has a condition as well, called Lazy itus. He doesn’t study, but turns up at exams and gets B’s and C’s. His teachers get so frustrated, as he could be an A student, if only he would open a book?

Well just as I was eating my Quorn vegetarian sandwich, my Hub phoned me from Thailand. There I am, dish washer in the background, T.V blasting and him phoning telling me he had just been to a banquet with music and he had been to a Golden Palace that morning, also he was being prep, to meet with the Thai Princess today?

Oh and of course as you will learn, there was an earthquake in Thailand, but not too close to him, though when he got to his room, a glass had been broken in the bathroom and his case was off the stand he left it on. As he was talking to me, the tremors were still shaking the hotel. He said that the hotel was built on springs, to help with the impact of an earthquake!

Let’s hope he won’t ask the Princess, if the earth moved for her?

My lovely friend is coming to stay in two weeks and I can’t wait to see her? She is my friend who we had fun in the town with some weeks ago, remember? We went to the Indian restaurant with? She is a loving kind person, who I have known for many years and will know all my life, then my little friend from school is due to come and see us and My crazy aunt is coming in December and today I got a text asking me to go to my old hometown to see friends there, we have tickets to see the carol concert in our Cathedral too as well as our Nativity. When my friend comes, we will visit the Christmas fair at our church and go out for a meal in the evening and she said she would come to find a couple of things for  Christmas gifts.

Because I have been out of sorts this past 24 hours, I have not thought about what I can write about today, so answers on postcard please? Though that might take too long, so pick up the phone, or comment me what you want to read about?

I have talked about boarding school and when I woke up blind, as well as my holidays and all the funny stories in my life as well as how it is for some blind people to carry out their day to day tasks. I have taken you on our adventures and to Russia as well as Loudes. That is only one part of my life. I have so much more to tell you, just in what order?

For now though, I will go to bed and think what to write, as it is the early hours of Monday morning.

So for me, Goodnight and God bless. X
