Decision

 

Thank you for all the feedback. It was very positive towards the original words and the newest video, though the oldies (mentioning no names, mum and mum in law, and Mark!) prefer the former. So I've made a decision. My written blog will continue weekly and I'll do my video once a month. I plan on it being more of a travel vlog. Let's face it, this year at least, I've been away every month. I hope you'll enjoy both and I'll continue to post by what's app and on Facebook. I might get my head around YouTube and even tiktok - you never know. 

My friend above is Charlie, the 8 foot python that visited us at work. I felt pretty confident holding him. To be honest, it was the tirantula that I was scared of. 

I went to Newcastle last weekend with Isaac, last minute plan. My aunt had been taken into a hospice on palliative care, when I was on holiday. I was hoping to see her one last time, to say my goodbye but sadly she died on Sunday night. I told her I loved her the last time I saw her a few weeks ago, for this I am grateful. I used to stay with her when I was a little girl. And I remember asking her why she wasn't my mummy. She had three boys, so getting to be girly with me was a treat. God bless her. 

This week has been tough. Work has been busy and hard. I've felt like I've been walking through treacle. Today I'm off and home, first time in a few weeks. I plan on moping but at the same time I have so much I need to do. I've secured a lovely person to do my cleaning (I hate cleaning) but I need to sort out lots of shit before she can swing the dusting cat. I'll rope Ellie in to help me. She's ruthless, and will bin everything that she deems worthless - I'll have to watch her carefully, goodness knows what I might lose. That punch bowl that is in the cupboard, from 20 years ago, never used but might come in handy one day, probably the day after Ellie chucks it! 

You might have scars, but at least that means the bleeding has stopped.
