And so, after over a year away, I feel it's time to vent!

First off, my father in law passed away.

An amazing man, our last parent.  Although he didn't live with us, since my mother in law passed away, he spent every evening with us for dinner, until he went into hospital when we visited him everday.  Ben and Katie doted on him and he did on them.  A lovely, gentle man with a dry sense of humor but extreme love for his family.

And so, we organised his cremation and the burial of his ashes but the bungalow he, his wife and my husband lived in for the last 35 years of his life needs to be emptied before it is returned to the heartless council ( a whole other story).

Next thing is everything out of the bungalow either needs to be moved here, or gotten rid of.

Phone call from DS2's school on Monday - his scooter went missing whilst he was at extra tuition.

DS1 - Phone call from the school - suspected broken wrist after a hard tackle playing rugby - ended up being a break at the bottom of the thumb

Blood very obvious in my stools - appointment made with the GP.

So much other stuff - but that will do for now!
