Farewell

Farewell to Thee! But not farewell

To all my fondest thoughts of Thee;

Within my heart they still shall dwell

And they shall cheer and comfort me.

Life seems more sweet that Thou didst live

And men more true that Thou wert one;

Nothing is lost that Thou didst give,

Nothing destroyed that Thou hast done.

Anne  Brontë

Do you believe in reincarnation, mum?

Umm, no honey, I don't. 

Well, I do & I want to come back as a bird.

 Then you will be a beautiful bird sweetheart...

Somewhere in my unmade & messy bed is my youngest favourite daughter.

Whose dad is ill. Very ill.

I don't know what to do.

Bay of Fires...A change of pace.

We are stardust, we are golden,

  

and we've got to get ourselves

back to the garden

- Joni Mitchell

Portugal on a plate...

One week to go Opera Nutter...

First run through today with oboe & strings.

Opera nutter is sick a lot...

Usually he comes down with 'something' once a week, early evening.
Usually he is over 'something' by dinner time the next day.

Last night it was a migraine.
Last night, a week ago, it was gastrointestinal.
Why has it taken me, his mother, 8 years to work out
which day Phys. Ed. falls on the school calendar?!
