The way it is according to moi

Hello kids, It’s been a while! Sorry for the radio silence. As usual its unfashionably late and this is not the time to be blogging but I’m in the sharing mood so here I am! Adam at work has also been emailing me telling me that he’s giving up on randomly checking the blog for the latest entry so here it is. I still find boys and girls sooo interesting so let’s talk about boys. No boy has landed on my lap yet (did I ever tell you about my fantasy of sitting on the tube when the driver suddenly stops and this amazing man stumbles and ends up on my lap)… that’s what I’m waiting for. I can tell you about lots of other boys that all make me smile. A few hours before I was departing for Glastonbury in June I was talking to neighbor Michael who is in his 60’s. I‘ve mentioned him before, his beloved partner of 30 years died in October and he is having to move. They never married and her kids and the bank want the money. Its beyond awful and a note for all of us to sor...

Hello Hello So! Things at work and my health are kinda the same so we wont talk about that today. We will talk about how it’s been such a nice day despite a death. Yes, someone died today. Alison’s grandmother was 2 weeks short of her 90 th birthday and she died this morning. Very sad for Alison and the family. (The condolence card is in the post) But let me tell you all about the nice people that made today so great. Adam, David and Jane. Adam is work Adam, former manager and now just a good friend. Shame he lives at the other end of the country or else I would go visit him and his family more. I’ve been off sick since last Wednesday and made an appearance today. I sent Adam a longish email and he sent me a lovely reply. It’s always important to know that people care and that they are there for you. In life you don’t always need people to fix things, you just need kind people that care. Showing kindness is so easy. Thank you Adam xx I also returned to work with l...

This entry is for Adam... Who was waiting to be named dropped :-) So folks it's been a few days now since I wrote last.  Most days and moments are not too bad. Some are even very good.  Today's had been interesting. I'm now entering the stage of anger when it comes to grief. All I want to do is kick some ass or tell people where to go. On a twisted positive note, the deep sadness is going although of course there will be a part that that will always stay.  A colleague really annoyed me and man did I want to tell them where to go. But I didn't because I'm better than them. Some people have nothing better to do with their life than to sweat the small stuff. I actually just feel sorry for this person, however they made a bad decision today. I've cut my ties. What else, I've been so lucky with all the people that have been texting and emailing me. I shouldn't use this blog to brag constantly but I can't help myself.  The smaller the gesture the bigger it...

I woke up at 6:45am on Sunday. Slapped on some clothing and headed out. I was meeting Alison for breakfast and I wanted and needed a walk. I have mentioned this many times before but walking is my drug. Some people, smoke, drink, take drugs. I walk.  I also find nature really healing and soothing. Being outside just does it for me. Not sure of its a Canadian thing or not, but I couldn't live without it.  I walked through the beautiful woods and then my favourite park all the way to hospital where she had finished a night shift. Some pic's of my journey:  The woods The park  Check out the view... London in the background :-) perfection We then made our way to Cafe Rouge for breakfast. We were there for about 2 hours and I'm surprised how I now have the ability to cry. I could never cry. It was strange, for years the tears were stuck somewhere. Well folks, they aren't stuck anymore. I spoke, cried and ate. She was very good. It's wasn't messy, I'm not a messy...
