Busy

Busy busy busy but all good. Weather cold and grey but house warm and lovely. Work busy but interesting and never dull although it does get very stressful at times never doing anything properly and always always feeling behind and that I have not answered people's emails etc. But I am working fairly long hours. Its half six now and only just finished although I do drive in the middle of the day which I guess now takes up some longer time although today I got home in about 4o minutes which was good.

Got a quote to do the old house up for £11,000. Now the question is will Richard think this is good and save us keep going there to bodge things up or will he think like me its worth it to get it done to a good standard and not have to keep going back? Hopefully the latter and especially as they can start on Monday. Fingers crossed.

Got a lovely card from Jackie today. No reference to the card I sent which basically apologised and said how much I regretted losing her friendship all those years ago but it was a lovely card with warm thoughts and messages inside. I am not sure what to do now and suppose I have to leave things to her although I am tempted to ask her if she would like to stay in touch or for me to leave her alone? That is my biggest regret in life losing her friendship. I know she aggravated me often but she was my oldest friend and for a stupid moment of losing my temper I have lost a very dear friend. A hard lesson but one which I hope I have learnt never to take friendships for granted again.

Right off to cook tea and meanader about this evening...I need the spring and summer to start on the garden now although with the few pots I have rescued from the old house this little garden already has some green shoots of spring bulbs appearing which is great. All we need is a few birds and all will be on the way.
