La Vita è Bella

Mr P drove my sister and brother in law to the airport after breakfast this morning. I tidied, packed and did some baking for Sunday’s fundraiser, before picking up two friends and driving to Melrose Crematorium for the funeral of a friend’s husband. It was particularly poignant as he was only in his early 50s and his children (who were my boys school friends) are in their late teens and early twenties. I also found out today that the uncle of one of my best friends, who was a big part of my teenage years, had also died recently. Packed up the car this evening and set off back to house and dog sit the lovely Bella. Seeing her cheered me up no end. Mr P and I finally caught up with CODA in the cinema room. It definitely deserved that Oscar.
