A Gift Of Flowers💐


 A dear friend died today . I was left with the emotion and it had nowhere to go ! 
Soon after Mandy from next door , brought me some dahlias from her garden 

A sweet gesture 

It kept me. Afloat 

The Trelawnyd Community Association Benefit Concert


 I was sat in the crowd for the first half so couldn’t film the mostly Welsh pieces, which were wonderful 
This piece is a famous Welsh Lullaby, I will post more pieces tomorrow but I will share with you these magnificent pieces. A lovely night and all Money to save our hall.


Bring Him Home from Les Miserables just for Cro


The choir had great fun with this one 
And to end the national anthem , I hope you can hear me singing 



Heaven sent

Always be Nice To The Workpeople. Ps Traitors


 
Two engineers turned up this afternoon to replace the sky dish. The bloke , scouse and affable the woman , butch and very friendly. 
It was a juggle as their ladders were in the lane and the farm traffic is unpredictable . 
But as I kept plying them with coffee and custard creams even though they laughed at my 9 inch tv
So by the time they went ,they gave me free cinema watching credit 
Roger and Mary warmed their hearts with cuddles too

First episode of TRAITORS 
Richard E Grant is a National Treasure ( a male Celia Imrie)


The Second Hill from the Left




 Look carefully, Gop Hill is the second from the left on the horizon. That’s home. 
I finished counselling early ( a no show) so I went for a coffee and fishfinger sandwich in Colwyn Bay


No shows occur for a myriad of issues, lack of engagement , lack of rapport, the lack of structure and the non directive approach of person centred therapy are just a few. In trauma the freedom of choices can promote disengagement and disassociation.
Some people just want to be told what to do

I didn’t mull about it too much. The fish finger sandwich was glorious and the weather was warm.
And I took off my counselling jumper to show off my dinosaur t shirt.

Nothing profound today 
Just a fish finger sandwich

 

Love You


 It’s twenty to six! 
Jesus! 
I slept till 3 pm 
Grabbed a coffee and had 90 minutes on line supervision for all of my clients.
Tomorrow I’m counselling all day
I feel better than I did
Apparently I’m doing ok with my clients! 
Validation that I needed
On Friday I’m off to Wrexham to see Nish Kumar a well known British stand up 
Saturday is the annual Trelawnyd Male Voice Choir concert at the village Hall
Sunday lunch out with a friend. 
A nice balance now.
Suddenly it’s felt that it’s all or nothing 

I’ve been aware that I’ve been somewhat introspective of late, and I think that is true 
A trip to Sheffield has been put on hold because my theatrical friend John swan dived on a wet pavement ! ( ouch) a planned trip to Italy was put on hold by catheter issues

I booked to see Operation Mincemeat in London in December which made me smile, London at Christmas can be magical

But what I really needed today, was that virtual hug, that silly message, that comes out of the blue 
Saw this and thought of you……love  you x



I’m still here

 Oh bless Carol from Atlanta , she missis me! 
Alas I’m not in some faraway place 
I’m on my last shift of three 
36 hours working in three days 
Not much time but work, eat, shit , eat.

But today in my dreams, one’s laced with a sleeping tablet 
I Was the inside of the Sagrada Família 





Invisible

 

Do you ever feel insignificant ? 
I must admit I don’t very often.
But I did today, strangely enough when buttering a piece of toast.
The toast wasn’t the issue, 
Even though it was a German hard bread, 
The sort you have to run at to bite.

I was watching the Papal visit to France
His inaugural concert with thousands of smiling young faces, of fireworks and music
And suddenly felt very small
It was the same at the eye hospital when I read the happy boast 
We have seen 1328 patients this month! 
I was one of the 1328!

I understand the insignificance 
I’m not a part of any religion and I don’t want to be a part of an nhs statistic 
Late middle age is an invisible time too
It’s this why I wear t shirts with dinosaurs,on them? 
The German sent me a T shirt with a roaring T rex on the front 
“ Daddy-o-saurus” was the caption

I wore it today and only one person looked at it in the supermarket.
