Incognito

My companion as I paused with my thoughts. He flitted, dashed, and leaped. I couldn't help but smile.

Thanks to friends I now have wee solar lights on the 2 small trees at the front.

Most of my day was taken up on my laptop . Not ideal for someone who works on a screen all day. But I achieved a lot.

Calendars for Christmas presents, one featuring the surrounds of where I live, and the other is in memory of my parents.

The latter took much longer than I anticipated and my grief was unexpected. I'm pleased with the result.

Less noteworthy but still important were emails to the council and the company that built my home. It's a matter of chipping away at both to get the structural supports on my garage door put right.

It's nearly the longest day of the year and I can have a walk before I wind down for bed.

Today's gratitude: For the realising in my grief how much Mum and Dad did for us and how much they love their family. That's to be treasured.
