It Wasn't My Fault
When I last posted (on the 27th August), I genuinely expected to be back later that day to catch up with you all ... but, NO ... my internet had other plans for me.
So, as of 1 hour ago I am finally back on line ... 5 engineering visits, including digging the road up (and diverting traffic) and the fault has been found.
I had hoped to post a note on my LJ when I was at work, but LJ (& DW) were both blocked by the NHS, so couldn't let you know. As I don't have a posh phone I couldn't even get on line that way ... so sorry ... and I have missed you, and LJ.
So much has happened in that time ...
England has a new monarch, and I am not afraid to admit that I cried when I heard the news about The Queen. And on the Friday before the funeral (a week after she died) I went up to London and joined a 13 hour queue to pay my last respects to her. I then went on to Green Park to see the flowers. A very long trip, but so special, and I wouldn't have missed it for anything. Last night I had dinner with Tim & Claire, who had gone the following day and it was great to compare notes. She will be missed. God Save The King.
The day of the funeral (just at the end) I got a taxi to the city, travelled to London and have just spent an amazing week in Turkey ... travelling hundreds of miles, and taking hundreds of phots ... yes, I will share.
Today is the 7th anniversary of Mum passing away (Dad's was at the beginning of the month, 6 years for him), and I can't believe it. If the weather stays OK, I may walk up to the cemetery, although it would probably be better if I didn't. When I flew to Turkey my bad ankle swelled to double it's size, and has yet to go down!
I won't catch up with the missing month of meme, as I want to get the photos posted ... but will start with yesterday as that was the day I got back home after my trip, so ...
28. What’s the closest thing to a castle you’ve been in?
I am English, and a sightseer ... I have been in loads of castles. Last one was Totnes, back in the summer
29. What were the circumstances the last time you were hoarse?
I do occasionally get a sore throat and if bad enough it will make me hoarse, but not for many years now.
Right, well I am going to post this brief summary of my missing month, and will promise, internet permitting, I will catch up with you all later ... and get some photos up, as well
Hope that you are all well x
