Sleeping too much

yeah, fading fast here too, night all @Former-Member @Former-Member @Former-Member @ etcetera ..lol

Hi @Former-Member

My cat is a cutie - a real smoocher - and I know she is getting older - she is getting grey hair around her eyes and has slowed down a lot - I don't know what I will do when she has to go over the Rainbow Bridge - but I know the time will come and I will get a new lounge suite

Your Mum sounds like a sweetie - sure - you gave her a hard time when you were growing up - my daughter told me what a terrible cook I was - but that was when she was grown up and far too late for me to change the past - but I guess that vegetarian food a couple of times a week was a big ask for her to like - but I remember being an economical and creative cook then - not so now though

It's really great your Mum is encouraging you to start again with the violin - I am thrilled to hear when people get serious with a musical instrument - my dd has learned to play the guitar in the last year or so - a lot of hard work there - I taught myself but I could already play the piano so I knew about keys and chords and intevals etc - I learned to read music very young - it makes a huge difference

The weather in Melbourne has been pretty indifferent over the weekend - and right now it is raining heavily - I got a newspaper last week - we had a wonderful warm day but it forecast several days of poor weather and this is what we have had - let's hope it's better tomorrow

It must be a relief to just have one bedtime routine instead of three - you reminded me of our family bedtime routine - just two kids - but so different. Dd had a book from the school library - when she was in the infant school - and she kept taking it out again and she knew it word for word and her Dad and I took it in turns to read it too her but she knew it by heart and if we missed something she would tell us - and if one of us added something she remembered it. The school wanted us to get her to read something else so other kids could read the book - but we had a scene at home and I offered to buy the book of the school but they refused. That is so long ago I have forgotten how it turned out

Okay - it was called The Bee Man of Orn and I can't remember a word of it now and we had the only copy in Australia I think an it belonged to the school library. I must ask her if she remembers

Enough strange stories from my past - it's nearly time for me to go to bed

Sorry to hear about your friend @Former-Member.

Be gentle with yourself ...

There are ways to say goodbye without funerals .... do something that is special for you, for her.
