Another month gone, another birthday approaching, not much has changed. I did go out to my son at Broken Hill for ten days, we had lovely sunny days while I was there. I had three days of playing with my three year old grand daughter Alice and I slept really well those nights. It was good to get away from home for a while. The Family Court agreed with the access finally worked out between the legal representatives, not really much of an advantage to my son but you have to make the compromise I guess.
I seem to just go on day by day. I am lonely but more settled into being a widow now. There is always plenty to do between the housework and the church work and now winter is almost here I am getting out clothes and sorting and getting the blankets etc out again. Ugggh! I hate winter and we do have a mild one but today is typical, cold, wet, dull, give me sunny days any day and I am happier. At night there is knitting and crocheting, the computer, reading etc. If I want to hear a human voice I ring someone.
I do have a male friend I am having coffee with regularly now, I don't think you could call him a boyfriend or even a companion but he is a nice man and I am enjoying the time we spend together. He does have a long term illness and I did my caring years so don't think there will be a romance. I still go out to lunch with girlfriends and meet others for coffee so not as isolated as I was the first couple of years of my widowhood. And so life goes on.
