Good times

A splendid time through to early afternoon with my other cousin Bruce and his wife Mary.

Then it was off to the airport and a flight back to Christchurch. The pope is out of the slammer, I'm unpacked, washing done, and I'm partially sortes for lunch tomorrow.

Not such a good day for Dad who finds himself in hospital again tonight.

I've had a lovely few days away but during that time my dear friend who has battled Parkinson's Disease for a long time, unexpectedly passed away. Jen was a dear and treasured friend and I'll miss her greatly.

Today's gratitude: For the love and richness my extended family bring to my life.
