I just need to share this: for the first time in so very long, today I actually feel happy. Nothing particularly exciting happened - in fact something unpleasant occurred. It hasn't taken my pleasure away. I had a picnic lunch with another mother and our children. We sat in the sun, on some grass near a playground. We initially sat somewhere else, and were moved on for being inadvertently on "private" land, but it didn't upset me. It was a simple, enjoyable time. And I feel happy. I think I'd forgotten how that feels. I feel light. This is wonderful. Wow!

Wow.. will reply over several msgs maybe. @Former-Member . Im at the end of whats left of CY O'Connors big project lol. Aah born in SA just dont go back there so often now, says me who drove there for xmas cos olds getting .. too old.. Then, again for mums funeral in April, then yet again for thwarted/past ghosts re work trip. Saw friend of a friend and old friend that went well. Father not so.. anyhoo .. so prob no ancestors in Hahndorf as father came here in 50s. Lived and worked Pt Pass near Eudunda. paying off his trip over lol. His fiancee came out pregnant so that was the end of that. Then he met my mum .. way out of his league in every poss way except she was brought up poor after her father died when she was 3. Think they lived off the church, ate bread and dripping etc. She was an amazing woman, but shouldn't have been with him. Hes been all over compensating last 10 mths, well since xmas , re writing history in which she's some sort of miracle even tho he never treated her well. Just sad
