Mixed

A day full of mixed emotions. 

We took Ruben for his vet's appointment and felt very much like proud parents and a parents evening! The change in him is incredible. He is practically back to his old self. The vet was staggered and obviously very pleased. So he is going to slowly come of his meds and we'll take him back in a month for a once over. 

While there, it was 1ish, the news was coming through about the Queen. It was fairly obvious from the get go that she was either dying or already dead. There's not a huge amount to say that hasn't already been said regarding her being dead. (Not about her passing as she hasn't passed anywhere. She has died. We have to use the words in order to acknowledge the event. We don't pass. We die - like all things) 
I am sad that she has died for a variety of reasons but I think I will probably still think of her as being around because she has always been someone I didn't know but knew of, so really my life won't change, unlike the lives of those who knew her well and loved her.
