The heating is back on almost a whole week later! We’re sitting in our shorts and T-shirts…. No we’re not but it feels lovely just to have that air or warmth again.
There was a reset button on the boiler that we couldn’t find so we were £40 to get it fixed, thankfully that was all that it was! I’m so grateful there wasn’t anything else wrong.
So while I lounge back on the couch eating an ice lolly…. 😂 it’s been a really reflective day today…. At lunchtime I saw a post of FB saying that a girl I used to work with years ago had died. It was one of those shocks that you actually can’t comprehend.
I reckon we worked together in 2006, we probably haven’t spoken since but followed each others lives on FB. She has two beautiful young boys as I am just devastated for them. I can’t stop thinking about her.
She was such a lovely girl, very sweet and quite quiet but determined. She was great at her job. Nothing was too much trouble for her. She was good fun. She listened like she cared. Life takes you off in different directions but it doesn’t mean you don’t remember someone as if it was yesterday. Taken far too soon. I think she was a fair bit younger than me. Just devastating for everyone close to her. There are lots of other people expressing shock on the post too. I hope her husband takes some comfort as everyone is talking about her the way I remember her. 💔
It’s been a sad and reflective day.
All that said, it’s cleared my head of the fug of the last few days. I feel like I’ve been able to think more clearly and be more focussed.
And….. drumroll… tonight I’m heading up to the Gateside Plant Centre for Christmas wreath making! Elly who’s family own the Plant Centre is going to get the Memorial Hall Committee all making Christmas wreaths.
I have hot chocolate at the ready to take up with me.
Pics to follow tomorrow!
Stay safe everyone and hug your loved ones a bit closer tonight ♥️♥️♥️
