Blogging regularly. How retro of Z

Every time I think I’m doing okay, something happens. But it’s going to, for the foreseeable, so there’s no point in fussing about it.

I took Tim’s car over to the garage for its MOT and annual service. They’d said I could have a courtesy car, which I needed as Wink doesn’t drive any more. As it was Tim’s car, I’ve been thinking of him all day. When I went to fetch the car, they said how much they like it – it’s the garage where it spent a few months, back in the early spring. It’s a really fabulous garage, I’m grateful to the chap in Yagnub who recommended it. I saved at least £3,000 compared to going to BMW (who would have tried hard to convince me that I should buy a new car) and they repaired rather than replaced, which always has to be good.

This evening, I had a meeting and came home to find a new battery pack for my phone and watch. The instruction leaflet was written in print that was too small even for me. But I had a contact lens in.

I think I mentioned that I’m living in my dining room? So I’m keeping things, everyday stuff, in the bureau. But I wasn’t sure where I’d left my lens cases and opened the wrong drawer and found Tim’s wedding ring. Well, that wasn’t a good few minutes. It hurt.

Then I closed the drawer, opened the right one, was able to read the leaflet once I didn’t have a contact lens in (never expected to have perfect sight – or rather ideal sight, because I’m still a bit shortsighted) and am charging up the power bank. And my watch. I’ll do my phone when I’m in bed.

Ecat has taken to deciding when I should go to bed. She doesn’t do it every night, but quite often. She wants to go upstairs, so I have to go too. Honestly, it isn’t worth arguing and, anyway, she’s being so sweet and affectionate at present that I don’t want to do anything but agree with everything she says. But it’s only 8.25 at present, so I hope she’ll allow me another hour or two.

  1. How do we know

    Perhaps, if you believe in these things, Tim is saying Hello.
    Good to hear about ECat and that she is being affectionate. She is certainly receiving a lot of affection 🙂

    Sorry to hear about Pat’s passing. You made me go back and see who left the first comment on my blog – nearly 20 years ago now.. nothing makes one feel old like one’s blog archive. Sigh!

      Tim seems to be in my mind all the time. Russell is too, but it’s Tim that I miss more, which seems odd, as I was married to Tim less than 5 years and to Russell for 41. I can only think that R and I had a completeness and T and I missed out. It’s all very painful, still.

      Ecat is spending the evening with my sister, which I know Wink appreciates. We aren’t jealous of each other but we are aware when Ecat loves one of us more!

      If only we all commented on blogs like we used to! That was the best of it. Such friendships built up, which still last.
