Well, it was a quiet day for Toots. Lots of reading (great crime novel), visited the parents and did a bit of shopping. I felt tired and had a headache, and think the drama of the week caught up with me.

Tomorrow will be busier. I have bookshop GAL in the morning. We're doing a big move in the shop so a bunch of us will be in there for a few hours doing that. Planning to go to Aqua Aerobics GAL tomorrow evening and wear my fetching new swimsuit.

I was thinking today about what has happened to me and what is happening to H. In a way, our lives have both been knocked right down and we are having to build them up from basics again. For me this happened at BD when I came to stay with my parents, I had lost my R, gave up my job and home, and have built up from there.

A similar thing is happening to H now. Don't know what is happening with his R - but he lost his job and we'll soon sell our home. Massive change for him too. Who knows how things will work out....
