Lost my mojo at the moment, my get up and go is hiding. I'll be here waiting under a blanket, playing Words With Friends, for when it comes back but there's no rush.
Very sadly on Saturday Son's mother in law passed away after a long battle with cancer. She was such a lovely lady and I was so proud that she called me her friend. It was a relief to hear she was allowed home from the hospital Christmas week so her family could spend time with her. Son and fiancé live with her anyway so she had devoted 24 hour care. Much loved and will be so missed.
Monday evening and an old school friend had just lost her very long cancer battle too. We had only reconnected a few years ago when I found her on Facebook, communicated but never actually met up.

Thankfully a balance with some positive news that both R and E have started paid traineeships in jobs they really want to do. That's their childhood gone hahaha!
Thursday we had our new front door installed. Obviously the time we had someone in to talk about it and order what we wanted was long before we knew there would be another covid wave and tiers and lockdown etc. This should have been installed quite some time ago too but the company had issues and it got delayed until now. As nobody was actually coming into the house we let it go ahead. So this is the old.......
And this is the new.......
There are a couple of furniture replacements as they've used the wrong letterbox and the wrong inside handle and lock, thankfully they are stock items so he's coming back Monday. And Hubby needs to repair the bit of plaster that fell off and try to find if we have any of this paint to patch it with.
Today we woke up to snow.
And news that another old friend had died last night. I had known her since youth club days and she married someone from club too. She'd had serious health issues for many years, fought so many battles and bravely fought on, and finally this horrid covid virus proved one fight too many.
Please please follow all the guidelines and keep yourselves as safe as you can.

Oh that is a lot of losses :-(. I’m so sorry. We’re struggling too. My cousin died a week ago, a month after his cancer diagnosis. He was 48 and leaves his 11yo son. Funeral on 10th Feb which will be a new kind of awful, seeing family and not being able to hug when we will all be so upset and needing hugs from each other. It's all incredibly difficult :'-(.
Love, love, love your new front door. It looks very smart. x
So very sorry for your loss too and so quickly, truly cruel, however hopefully you'll all have lots of happy memories that won't be overshadowed by the suffering.
There are so many restrictions on funeral attendance that I doubt we will be attending any in person, hoping they will be broadcast, but do know what you mean about hugging.
