You can never have enough...

[Lilith7]

Oh that is a lovely end story Jan. One of the best - good? things about my losing Colin, was the fact we had had one of those talks on the Good Friday evening before. You know the ones, the real heart to heart talks where we lay out our plans for the future and be grateful for where we are. We both agreed we had never ever been happier in our lives and were so glad to have each other.

Ever since I have been very clear with the people I love, and those I really feel grateful to have on my life. Because we just never know when it is all going to come to a close. And when it does, no regrets makes the grieving just that little bit easier. And at times like that even the tiniest bit of solace helps.

Oh Wow Jan, it was meant to happen that way for sure... A memory you will never forget. 

I remember years ago being soo busy gassing to my friend in the car as I backed out of the garage and "Parked" the car on the side of said garage. 

MrP was soo angry about it , friends hubby heard him from 3 houses away. He wandered up. Checked we were ok.. We were trying not to laugh while MrP ranted. And the friend told him to shut up. Cars can be fixed, the girls are fine and to stop being an egg. lol. 

Sold said car complete with the damage a week later lol

Edit to add. It was soo cold this morning I took a hottie for my lap and Hand in the car. I dont use the heater cos I cant breathe in hot air.

Got so warm the hat and knitted jacket came off.. nearly home and discovered the Fog is still down. First time its been down this long in the last 20 years.

And its still not warm

The fog horns on the harbour have been sounding off all morning. They stopped about an hour ago, and now the sea fog has come back to cocoon us. Just as well I did my Takapuna run to Winz at midday under glorious blue skies. I got a bit cross though at Winz, I had to go to hand over the dentist form for the surgery next week, and for the first time in all these years I was asked for photo ID, and told I must present it in future. Seeing my photo IDs are all well expired I was told I have to get an 18 plus card.

Fuck that. I am 72 years old, never broken a law, born and bred in this country, and a Winz client at that office for way too long and they want me to prove myself? Nope, aint going to get the card designed to let teenagers drink in pubs. Grrrrr...

Oh well, the woman says, it just means we have to get every bit of paperwork seen by the manager and it'll take longer.

Uh huh... Double grrrrr, lol!

But yes, they'll pay the $300 to the dentist, so that's good!

I'm very lucky I don't often have to deal with Wankers, they seem to be even more obsessed with ticking every box than they were last time I saw one of them. I think I've got a passport somewhere if I really need it.
Finding it might be a mission though..

Another miserable day - the sun came out just long enough to allow me to believe that it was a good chance to catch up on all that washing, & rush about like that proverbial fly with the  blue derriere, gather it all up & get the lot done, before it beetled off again. There may have been some swearing involved.

After I sorted it all out I took myself to library to pick up a book on hold & had a nice surprise - they no longer charge for holds! Brilliant! I thought the inner klutz had struck again when it wouldn't let me pay the charge so quite nice to find it wasn't my fault.
So pleased was I by such excellent news that I ventured into several shops in hopes of inspiration re birthday or Xmas gifts - & came home knackered.
