My weekend started on Friday, with time off for the celebration of Tina’s life. It was a happy and a sad time, Charles, Christina, Tom, Jim and everyone else who spoke about T and sang did brilliantly and Tina would have loved it! As ever with funerals, it was also a chance to see people I haven’t seen in ages and again a very Tina thing. I’ll miss her and so will everyone else that was at the church on Friday.

On Saturday morning, I sat down in my favourite reading spot with a coffee. About 4 hours and a book later, I decided I’d better do some shopping.

That done, I launched into preparing myself for next week. Washing, cooking, housework etc and the joys of reading and finishing the Saturday paper on the day it’s published. A good day with the right balance of rest and work.

On Sunday, I went to Kingston to see a movie with Ma and now it’s Monday again.

Weekends go so fast!
