Dark days.

Today has been one of those days, you know the kind, when you were going to do so much, but actually did nothing. We were going to go to a model rail exhibition, in Monmouth, but as it would have meant a very early start, we decided to stay home. Then we were going to go out this morning, but somehow, it was this afternoon before we went out, and then I couldn't wait to get back. This afternoon, I had a telephone call from a friend, who I used to work with.  She told me that our mutual  friend J, (who has gone to Morocco, with her husband) to celebrate her 70th birthday,)  Mum had passed away. J will be devastated, that she wasn't with her Mum, but she has been a wonderful daughter, and her Mum has been in a home for the last few years, suffering with dementia. It's not the news you want when you are away on holiday, but maybe it happened for a reason.  On a brighter note, the weather is going to warm up by Wednesday. Thank goodness for that.
