Today was a bit of a crazy day. It was suppose be my last photo shoot before I have the baby so I was feeling a bit sentimental anyway. As I reached MK I got a phonecall from my father in law to say he couldn't get hold of J to tell him his gran had died. She was in her nineties and had had a couple of falls in the last 2 weeks. Only last night she was saying she didn't want to be in her own home anymore and she'd been thinking a lot about her sister who'd died a few years earlier. It seems she woke up in the morning and her heart just stopped. I think she must have known on some level and its hard to feel to sad when she had lived to such a good age and been in good health pretty much till the end.

I ended up having to tell J by text message as I thought he'd see he had lots of missed calls from me and his dad and think I'd gone into labour.

The day continued in a similar theme with dog poo, broken fillings, collecting a poorly girl from school early all featuring but I am reflective and positive knowing that these are insignificant in the grand scheme of things.

Grandad didn't want to be on his own so he ended up buying the family a curry and spending the evening with us. We've not had a one for almost a year and its true you appreciate it much more when its a rare treat.
