Jan. 25th, 2025 04:02 pmI have a couple of flist people who were in the red warning zone for Storm Eowyn, so I hope you're all okay. I had to walk to town to pick up James' prescription from the chemist and one gust nearly blew me over, and we were just in an amber zone. So, red must have been so much worse.
Thankfully, with piling a load of heavy garden ornaments and planters against the wobbly bits, the fence has survived another day, and the flower shelf is hanging on. The planters and plant pots on it, not so much.
Today it was the funeral of the mam of one of James' friends, so we attended that. She was obviously a popular woman, as a load of people had to stand, including me. So, my knees were protesting after standing for nearly an hour as the service included performances from a male group choir as well as the usual parts from the family and humanist celebrant.
After, we had a walk to see the relatively recently revealed statue of Molly, who represents the woman shipyard workers who helped keep the docks running in world war one and two. It was a nice statue, but smaller than I was expecting. Still, it was a good, if blowy, walk along the river.
Bodhisitting tomorrow, and it seems doing this less often now she's at nursery isn't actually going to be true as this will be the third time this week, including picking her up from nursery one afternoon, and a morning at Silly Billy's play cafe. It was funny picking her up from nursery as it's the same one Corey went to, and while the inside had obviously changed, the walk there was exactly the same. She also came out with a filthy cardigan and looking like she'd been dragged through a hedge backwards, so obviously that part of nursery hasn't changed either *g*
James' first week back at work has gone well, and I met him at Tesco one day so got to try out the walk there from home for the first time, and like I expected it's a very nice walk. Though, I badly overestimated how long it would actually take so need to remind myself ten minutes is more than enough time to get there.
