It is immensely hard to be the one(s) left on this side of the Tasman, but I remind myself that this is how my parents felt back in the carless days when me'n him took off to Melbourne. And they never let me know, so while she knows I miss her, I deliberately keep that sadness to myself. And the fear of doing this old age thing alone. Just as well I am a tough old bird and rather practiced at surviving challenging times.
I had a dear friend arrive yesterday out of the blue with a paper bag containing a handful of delicious pearly buttons, big ones and teeny teeny ones, so I am guessing the skirt is getting a few more additions. But I need to find a decent button sewing needle, the one I was using was a lazy fetch from my tapestry collection and really is too blunt and too thick for those mini treasures. I'll need to get off butt and unearth the real sewing needles, lol. A good job for this wet silver day.
