This week has been notable for me because of two things. Not sleeping properly so feeling constantly tired, and relentless rain that drove me to distraction.
—————————————————————————————
Tomorrow, we are returning to the Animal Hospital in Fakenham to collect Ollie’s ashes. Hard to believe two weeks will have passed since he died.
—————————————————————————————
I am hoping for a long break from the daily downpours. It doesn’t even have to be warm and sunny, I will just settle for dry.
—————————————————————————————
Otherwise, I am not thinking about very much. I still feel disconnected, and my mood is flat. There will be a new fiction serial starting today though.
—————————————————————————————-
Have a great Sunday, and I hope it is not raining where you are.

Praying for you Pete. Sending Love too. xox

I hope things improve slowly, Pete, and the weather gets drier. We’d happily take any spare rain going. We’re still suffering from a severe drought, although we’ve had a couple of days with some rain, and more is expected. But we’d need much more than that.

We paid for having a dry day yesterday by rain all day today. It’s still raining now!

You can sit out March 3rd, but be prepared tomorrow to March 4th!
(1) I thought “relentless reign” had to do with British monarchy.
(2) It’s hard to believe two weeks will have passed… But time March-es on.
(3) You’ve been dealing with heavy rain. We’ve been dealing with high winds. If you decide to go singin’ in the rain, I’ll whistle along with you.
(4) I’ve heard of the flat mood theory. Apparently, there’s no way around it.
(5) No rain here. Just stubborn brown tree leaves dancin’ in the wind!

We went to the East London Cemetery today where my grandmother is buried and where Mum’s ashes are and took some flowers. It was lovely and sunny there, and we both remarked on how uplifting it was to be able to drive on dry roads without the spray from lorries. We sat basking in the sun on a bench in the cemetery and ate our lunch. Coming back to Suffolk there were waterlogged fields and water on the roads.

We have certainly had a bashing from the rain and wind so far this year. It has been a dismal few weeks.

Hi Pete, I think it’s normal to feel so lost after a bereavement. It’s good that you can bring Ollie’s ashes home. But that will be another difficult day.
I wish you nice weather for the next few days, that will also help improve your mood.
We have beautiful sunshine, although it is still quite cool. It’s expected to become a bit cloudy later, but it will stay dry. We have had enough water here in the last few weeks.
Best regards Irene
