I'll be in pigtails by the time I get my appointment Millie but I have been promised a cancellation! smile

B2 it really is a small inheritance our daughter is receiving, so buying power is limited!  Her main spending ambition is a triple wardrobe so that midddle grandson can clear everything off his bedroom floor. I expect she'll save the remainder for a rainy day. She doesn't own her home and lives in area where houses are expensive. She has sorted out her Aunty's failing health, dementia onset and affairs single handly and over the last year we've been her "back up" group on the phone. I expect it's a been a similar tale up and down the country.

Felt compelled to write to our Councillor yesterday and am pleased to say she has actioned 2 requests, nothing out of the ordinary already.

Her husband called around with some information this afternoon, so she'll be getting my vote as an Independent, who seem to work harder than political affiliated ones.

Day has finally decided to warm up, a bit too late.

Mrs WN did report that the poor hairdressers got some terrible abuse, mainly from elderly people who should know better, because firstly those complainers hadn't been treated a priority and secondly because there weren't enough "layabouts" of hairdressers in the shop, despite the hairdressers only being allowed a total of 6 people in, 3 customers and 3 hairdressers. It took an hour longer because these elderly complainers kept just walking into the shop expecting immediate service. Mrs WN not best pleased with them and felt the workers reacted admirably.

We have had to wait just over a month but today was Dad's funeral service. Obviously just a small number of close family, including a couple of cousins of his who I hadn't met since we were all children. Lovely weather and a nice service, a fitting way to remember him.

These flowers weren't done by a professional, but by his grandson's mother in law - we thought they were a match for anything a qualified florist might provide.  smile

Moulsey beautiful flowers and I thoroughly agree on the standard of them.

I'm glad that you were able to give your dad a personal send off. A month's a long time to wait to say a final goodbye, but my friend had to wait 8 weeks, no PM to delay things. Sign of the times or living in a very populated area 😢😢.

I hope you and your family can begin to remember all the wonderful times you shared. May he Rest in Peace.

It sounds as though you gave your Dad a wonderful send off Moulesy. I am so glad the weather smiled on you.  The flowers are absolutely beautiful.
