Here she is!
I'm sorry I've not been around for a while. Those of you who know me in real life may realise that I've been having rather an overdose of real life at the moment, those of you who know it from here have probably gathered as much, and those of you who don't know me from Adam probably couldn't care less (and won't be reading this anyway!)
Life, the universe and everything recently has been mainly centred around three things: my father's funeral, sorting out his estate, and... minor detail here....... coping with my eldest son. Oh, and dancing, of course. Slow, slow, quick quick, slow... hmmm, somehow seems to fit with all four topics!
Me, meanwhile? Where am I in the middle of it all? Well, sometimes it's been difficult to find me - frustrated, angry, sad, overwhelmed, numb - but on the whole I seem to be proving more resiliant than I realised. You can't keep a good smudge down! Even the toughest days have been filled with love and laughter. And it's been particularly brilliant having my brother around ... and especially finding a supportiveness in him which is more, well, for want of a better word "feminine" and intuitive than I've ever experienced before. He's always been there for me, and I've always known he loves me, but it's never been as tangible as it is at the moment. He's fantastic - shame I can't marry him really! I've found friends and support in unknown places (one just phoned and was talking for an hour, even though I hardly knew her, and made me feel so supported it's incredible) and I simply love dancing. How's that!
Now then, for a few blogs about my four predominant foci of the last couple of weeks.
