Good Morning Early Birds!

Wednesday. The odd cloud about this morning. A wee bit cooler. What developes we shall see.
I'm going to be hoovering up dog feathers for weeks I Reckon. Can't get rid of the wee tyke even when she's gone home!

Nothing special today, so I might go out somewhere.

Have a happy day everyone.

Yes Rowan, good advice.
After 67 years of marriage and numerous years of courting my mother is on her own, as of twelve months ago and struggling.
Still capable but stressing and depressing.
If only I could convince her to see a light at the end of the tunnel and believe in tomorrow.

Thanks for sharing your experience here on AB. It's helped.

Good morning all.
Enjoy the day.

I'm glad, it helps me too.

Still very early for your mum, she won't have the distractions of a younger person. The best thing you can do is bring her back to happy times, but in truth I can't imagine the sense of loss she is feeling, it must be so much worse for her. I at least have known a life without Dave, she doesn't have that to draw on.

morning Chip xx

just like my mum oz ..sadly..she didn't seem to want to move on or even try to... which was tough and frustrating as it brought everyone into a downwards spiral....

Two years mourning for long term partner is still in normal range, after that maybe help will be needed. It's only been a year things will get better with any luck.

Morning all - I'm a bit late to the party this morning. I had a really good sleep for a change. I went to bed tired, relieved and buzzing from England's much-deserved victory over the Columbian scallywags.

Must get this house spick and span and all the laundry ironed and out of the way. Our house buyer (yes, we've sold it) is coming back for a second viewing on Saturday and I've a feeling there will be friends / relatives in tow.

We were due to go and view the property that sold back in Jan / Feb which has suddenly gone to auction but we spoke with our Agents who tell us the property has "cracking" and the cause is undetermined. We're just not getting involved now, so it's back to the drawing board in terms of find ourselves somewhere.

Have a lovely day, everyone. xxx

Good luck, hope you find something soon.
