GOOD THINGS
I am no longer a volcanic refugee.
Nobody died.
My kids are all here together again.
The sun is shining.
BAD THINGS
I am no longer a volcanic refugee.
My father is in hospital still. With many wires. They are feeding him via a wire through his jugular into his heart.
My friend is in hospital still. She is being moved into a hospice. She doesn’t want to see her friends at the moment. Only her husband and immediate family. She says she has too much to deal with and hopes I understand. Of course I understand. I just want to make her better again. I took the class today that she normally come to. We always have coffee together afterwards. Her space. I was more aware of her absence than I was of any other person in the room. It was a very hard class to teach.
My boiler has a leak that is pouring through the floor of the upstairs bathroom down through a light socket into the loo below. I have no hot water.
My youngest son wants to join a cricket club.
My teenage son sent me a text saying “just f*cked up chem mock. Should I give blood tmw and can i have a few peeeeps round on sat night. Not v many?”

April 28, 2010I have a very bad relationship with cricket. My ex husband loved the game and so I recall far too much of my previous life either being a cricket widow or having to watch. Just not my thing. In fact I think it’s one of the most boring games to watch ever invented. Lx

May 2, 2010Cricket is fucking boring. I spend my life sitting in the car waiting for cricket matches to finish. Try to encourage him to play football – the games last much less time x
