Cakes work and counselling

hello Darling

It is a wet morning here in Liverpool I am enjoying the rain and hope it clears the air , it has been hot and clammy this week, not good for me .
I had a lovely trip to Dobbies with Rachel yesterday and bought some heathers , drank tea and had cheese scones in memory of dad.
I had a drink with Tony on Sunday evening , he is doing ok still adjusting to Andrea being away in Canada. I had tea  with Philip on Tuesday , he still seems fragile but doing well , still golfing, reading , listening to the proms in Radio 3 and going off to Israel soon to clear the flat they rented in Israel of their things. sad things to do especially in his own, yet maybe it will be easier not having to keep his chin up for other folk.

Johnny is  off in OZ in Midsummers night Dream , Martha has chicken pox 😱 Archie has gone back to school Ellie work, so a busy time for them all.

I have made cakes for the kindness challenge this week . I was asked to do something nice for my parents, but as they are gone now I asked on Streetlife if there was an elderly person I could bake a cake for and two folk came back to me , one person visits an old folks home and is taking a cake there and another woman told me her husband will be 91 tomorrow , I bakes him a cake too they are being collected today . nice to be part of the challenge give me a lot of pleasure !

I am doing some  counselling  today , and I am seeing Marie my own counsellor .

I feel tired quite a lot right now not sure if it is the weather my age or something else .

I have been worrying about Philip , things are not great in his relationship , but they are better at work and he does like his duplex and hi is taking charge of his finances.

I think about all five children partners and grand children a lot and each one has things going on in their lives , right now I think they are all coping well and mostly rising above to challenges and able to enjoy their lives. Inshallah

I am close to Sandra and Jackie and stalk Matthew and Gary but they do respond to me in time .

I am very grateful for my sisters they are a hugely important part of my life 👯

I think of you and talk to you at our tree I write to you here and I talk to a little picture I have of you on a coaster .

I love and miss you darling John . TT
