Actors,here,took dogs out by 9 to local woods,hoped the blue bells would be out,they weren't,then food shop,DD,it said Helen MCrorrie had been ill with cancer,but her death was sudden and unexpected.Saw her on ITV breakfast last month,she was very croaky and made a joke out of it.Her normally honed cheekbones were plumped up, wondered if it she was on steroids
Afternoon folks. It's fairly warm here in the sunshine and I've been busy potting up 55 plug plants that arrived from Brookside Nursery. They always deliver good plants and this year was no exception. I've still got loads of seedlings to pot on not sure I'm going to have enough room, pots or compost. Will I ever learn.
Avoiding the TV, I've had enough sadness of my own in the last 12 months to share anyone elses.
@Punkdoc know exactly how you feel. My brother was the fly in the ointment when it came to mum's care or decisions. Mum had filled out some sort of form with the care home that meant I was the one to decide what happened with her care so we never had any real arguments, it was just the emails and comments that I kept getting that used to upset me. If it's any consolation, I don't see him or hear from him anymore and it suits me just fine.
I'll have to water the borders tonight everything is so very dry that quite established plants seem to be suffering.
I enjoyed watching Helen McCrory in Peaky Blinders and also saw her on ITV last month. She went down very suddenly.
I also watched the funeral and found the singing fantastic. I love the pomp and circumstance of the soldiers and their dedication to the Queen. Yes, good to see the boys walking side by side at the end. Hopefully, a G & T this evening will lighten their mood.
@punkdoc If your Mum signed for you to be her decision maker, then so be it!
Evening. A full afternoon pottering in the garden - suitably tired now.
Sorry to hear that you have family problems @punkdoc. As you know, when faced with losing a loved one, some people want “everything done” even it is isn’t the best decision. I hope you are ok anyway.
Sorry to hear of more troubles @punkdoc, does she not realise with the work you did in war zones, you are in a better position to know what trauma an amputation would be. We watched most of the funeral, to me it was a good balance, from what I understand he would not have wanted the full pomp that there would have been in normal circumstances. Managed to do a bit in the garden, moved a couple of plants "up" a pot, spent the morning on plots trying to sort the glass for the neighbor's greenhouse. I was happy to just go & buy some, but no, others are determined to find old bits we can use. Lucky the greenhouse owner is very relaxed about it all.

@punkdoc, you are the doctor, or is your sister one too? I'm sure you know best. I wouldn't have wished an amputation on my mother at that age.

Home made burgers for supper I think...
Have a good evening folks.
