... who miraculously worked out what the url is for my wiblog admin, seeing as I had never thought to bookmark it on my laptop and my computer has rather inconveniently exploded. What is is with me and technology? Why does it hate me so much?
Life here goes on apace, with one topic pretty well monopolising our thoughts and words, but with plenty of other things to keep us occupied. Today and yesterday we found the purchase of flowers for the garden to be a perfect excuse for lunch out at the garden centre, and having discovered that our local hostelry has just opened under new management and is doing a carvery for just £3.50, I think we've managed to suss out what we'll be doing for lunch tomorrow.
The highlight of today, though, was a mammoth surprise. A note through the door from the postman informed me that it would be a good idea to check my garage pretty promptly. And what should be there but the most beautiful bouquet of flowers I have ever seen. I took a risk and allowed the Smudgelet to arrange them, seeing as neither my sister nor I are any good with flowers and it was easier to cope with the Smudgelet spoiling them than spoiling them ourselves! Actually, I think we were all three of us rather impressed with his success.
The counsellor (a really good one) who is currently supporting me by telephone said to me "You must feel really alone right now". I was able to say "Oh no, far from it. I feel surrounded and protected by an amazing group of people and by God. I just feel totally let down by the people who are supposed to be the ones I can turn to. But who could sit here looking at this beautiful bouquet and feel in any way alone?
