A cool day here and sun just coming through .
Sadly grandson and family not able to get up here,car problems , but I will see them at grand daughter’s wedding on 23rd of August in Suffolk .
So I will have to wait until then to get my suitcase back here .
Having hair cut today, then next week to visit my sister ,her daughter from Australia is here and those grandchildren .
I leave them alone ,they see so,little of each other but they have asked to see us . My house is tiny and my sister is a “ nit picker” and makes negative comments which really annoy me ,no tact at all.
It is called “ Wilmslowitis” - her sensibilities are easily offended ,like footballers being allowed to live in Wilmslow!
and houses not detached in their own grounds !
So I don’t bother to invite them.They look up old friends so time is short enough with my sister who is now 91 but in good health and still very good looking ,well was in the soft dim lighting she likes when last we visited.
A mass of auburn hair all curly .She had lovely ringlets as a child and was really lovely,photographs of her make Shirley Temple look plain .
I by contest have straight very dark hair and just normal sized brown eyes .
This house suits me especially now,easy to run and all modern ,re wired, new plumbing ,new central heating, re roofed, new doors throughout, double glazing ,replastered , garden all new and simple to manage ,new kitchen and bathroom and carpeted throughout ,
Mind you it is not expensive carpet which I had before but it is O.K.
We were parted when evacuees, I with lovely people she with a nasty woman with a spiteful brat of a daughter.
I think she must feel life owes her something so goes all out to get what she wants.We only get one childhood and I was very lucky I know.
She never goes back but I love to and my husband would take me very often ,we could do it in a day .
Well the sun has come out and I might put some washing in if I can find a full load.
Thanks for your news and best wished for those with health problems .
Cheerio. Viktoria.
