Dear @Anastasia

How was your weekend away? Though only a short break, I hope it proved restful for you. A weekend is not long enough to properly unwind, but I hope it gave you some breathing space.

Did I read that it was a girlfriend you went with? Hope your bf was accepting of being left behind, and perhaps even enjoyed a weekend to himself too.

How is your boy settling into the hospital routine? Was a medication change on the cards?

I had the weekend away with a friend too. It was really lovely actually, and Im very grateful she was able to come here at late notice. As you may recall, I had this week long holiday booked for hubby and I, coinciding with my birthday last Saturday. So it was a really nice opportunity to spend time with my friend. Something which would not have been possible while hubby was alive and so unwell.

So I was spoiled over the weekend. Couple of good long walks, cafe a short drive away for lunch at beachside village, dinner at lakeside community club in easy walk from resort. And some good long talks ... about anything and everything. There were tears, but there was also laughter.

But I'm here on my own now for three nights before my brother and his wife arrive on Wednesday for the last couple of nights before checkout.

A quiet day for me today I think. Will take a 5 minute walk to the beach, where I can sit and reflect. Maybe a 3 minute drive to the little village to get milk and bread. And one of the cafes there for lunch. I think weather should mostly be okay, but maybe coastal showers.

I guess its back in the office for you again today. And perhaps a visit in hospital to see your boy? I hope everything goes well for you. Sending lots of love and best wishes for a good day and a good week.

Also tagging others here @WIP @NatureLover @Peri @Eve7 @Former-Member @Owlunar @Bunniekins. Being only on mobile, posts are an effort. So I dont want to repeat on my thread.

Hello precious @Emelia8

Thank you for your message! 🙏💕

I can't love the weekend that I had enough, the only fault was that it came to an end far too quickly. To be expected as the saying goes "time flies when you are having fun" I have one very special friend irl and whilst she lives a distance away when we do catch up it's very special.

My heart explodes to hear you were spoiled over the weekend, so you should be! You so deserve to be. It is sad that hubby's passing meant you could spend the time with your friend rather than hubby, but I am sure he would have wanted you to be amongst love and I'm even more sure he was there in spirit 😃

My boy is not doing so well today. He's lonely and as a result my bf will drop in tomorrow. If I can wing a day working from home in Wednesday I will see him then. "Thank you in advance Universe" 😜

Hamburgers for dinner here and an early night. Work is very needy at present, I'm peopled out tonight 😀

Enjoy the rest of your resort time @Emelia8 with your brother and his wife.

Love you more and so happy to have heard good news from you xox
