Grief management

This morning I had the day off work and took my two kids, and their friends Ava and Maxi to a local soft-play area. It was surprisingly quiet and the venue is set-up so the kids can’t escape as the doors are locked. It means I can just sit, and do the crossword and drink tea. My only deal with the kids is that they come back every now and then to tell me they are ok, still here and not bleeding or anything awful.

I was reading The Times from the weekend and there was a rather brilliant article on grief and advice on how to ‘do’ it well. Some of the advice was really good but this little quote really struck me and I thought it made a lot of sense.

Veg Patch 2019

We have had a lovely Bank Holiday although the weather hadn’t been amazing. We did manage to do a bit of planting in the veg patch though. It’s just as well we love beans – we have planted heaps of plants and I am expecting a bumper crop as long as the slugs do not get to them!

The Compassion ExperienceToday we went to visit the Compassion Experience. It is a 40 foot trailer which opens out into a display space and takes you through the stories of two children who have been sponsored through the Compassion child sponsorship programme. It was brilliant and we all had headsets to wear which explained the story of each child.

I have to admit that I found it really moving and when I got to the end and there were lots pf pictures of children who need sponsorship. I was sorely tempted.

Compassion do a wonderful job. Changing the lives of children. One child at a time.

Beach

One of the best things about living in Guernsey is being able to pop to the beach after school for a run about and an ice-cream. Happy days.

I will kill youOh this photo makes me laugh so much!

The cat Rufus’ face looks like he is about to kill and eat the children in their sleep. So funny.

Swimming buddies

Today I had the pleasure of taking these three little monsters swimming and then home for tea. The Little Miss got another badge and she was super-happy to pose for a photo with her brother and cousin who are both huge posers!

Listening carefully

Last year The Little Miss had her adenoids out and some grommets fitted. We had to go back for an audiology appointment and check-up with the specialist. Last time we went she refused to do what the audiologist asked but this time she sat down happily and did all that he asked her to do. Brilliant and everything was fine.

African frockThis evening I had the pleasure of going out to a ball with my Dad. It was in aid of an charity called Tumaini who work in Tanzania.

Last year I had a dress made when I went out to Uganda so I figured it was the ideal opportunity to wear it. In a sea of boring black evening dresses I felt absolutely fabulous!
