Good morning - very changeable weather here - bet you didnÔÇÖt go walking to the library yesterday Venetian -
Lost my wonderful elderly aunt to covid late last week - she was a very fit 93 still living on her own -my fathers sister died when her children were young so my grand parents brought her 5 children up - my grand father decided to go all out when my aunts were married and they had a great big double wedding that made front page of the newspaper - 10 bridesmaids and all my siblings and cousins flower girls and page boys - our dresses were the colours of the rainbow and mine was green - I played up a treat I wanted the pink or lavender dresses my cousins wore .I can still remember my father glaring at me as I played up in the church complaining the stand up collar was pricking my neck .The hospital was as bad as all the reports in the media are claiming - the nurses are broken - my aunt was in a palliative care ward with three others -my cousin who stayed with my aunt was asked to care for the other patients who had no family as there were no nurses available - lucky other cousins were able to help - Will miss her she was one of those people who always saw the good side of life - went through a stage of dying her hair purple with condies chystals (sp)- looking back she was on her own before she was 30 - her husband was a scoundrel according to my Mum so dying her hair at home was probably budget driven
I bought some lovely wool from Ribbon rose - the colours of a Paula shell going to make a hat but havenÔÇÖt found the right pattern - well thatÔÇÖs the excuse for not getting started
