Down..... Memory lane

I really need to be getting my mind around all the work and all the 'important' phone calls I have to make, but my mind keeps taking a path of its own today(tuesday)...ok, like usual I know!

Its just that there is so much on my mind, it feels over full, bursting - new ideas, excitement of something that is in the pipeline soon to come, mixed with a whole bunch of rock bottom sadness at the passing away yesterday of my Mom's very special marriage partner and dear friend and companion. He was a very special man, quiet and unobtrusive, fitting in with all my Mom's lovely friends. It will be hard for her now, to be alone, and not have the companionship she is so used to.

I am alone tonight, Friday, just for the weekend, and i enjoy a little alone time, but to be alone forever...scary bleak thought.

My son and his wife, invited me for supper tonight, Friday - I have completed this blog entry over a few days! It was lovely! A tasty chicken curry, yum, yum. My son has a CD collection of note, and I was looking through all the titles and Shantal brought out an 'old' album with lots of songs on that I can remember. It was fun looking at them on the cover of the album- like Mammy Blue, and Cliff Richard stuff, Elvis, Bee Gees, and so much more. We talked about that song by Janis Ian - Run too fast, fly too high... I love that song - it must have been a once off for her, because I have not come across her again. We spoke about some romantic movies too, like: French Kiss with Meg Ryan, and KelvinCline, and fools rush in, and others.

When I got home the neighbourhood patrol waited at my gate to see me in safely, nice of them I thought. You feel safe when there is someone there. You are very vulnerable at the gate when you have to get out to open it and drive in. When I am not alone this does not bother me. It kind of reminded me of the convoy days when tavelling in Zimbabwe from Harare to Beit Bridge, to go on holiday to South Africa, there was that sense of being protected and being part of a community.

It is late, I am tired, and I am going to bed. Tomorrow is another busy day at the computer! :(
So much work to do still, never ending piles. thanks for staying up with me, Good night!
