..been busy all a.m cooking to freeze..spoke to son in Australia, daughter in Dubai, watched videos that they both sent..one of my sons here dropped off lovely groceries and magazines..unexpectedly...other son dropped off huge bag of compost..all going well..busy in the kitchen..radio on...Phil Collins "you'll be in my heart " playing.... Well the floodgates opened..was crying so much I had to go in the bedroom and just let the tears fall,..not even a song that I've ever loved...actually feel quite weak now from crying so much...oh heck .."pull yourself together madam!"..

I've wobbled but haven't cried but completely empathise with it. My wobble came on Tuesday, I got out of bed feeling as flat as a pancake and that was before I found out I'd been sent the letter. The one that puts me in, what I'm calling 'high security solitary confinement'. I'm calling it that so I can ridicule the ridiculous (but necessary) circumstances and think of it in comedic terms like that fabulous sitcom with Ronnie Barker. Maybe it's just me but a satirical sense of things is what is keeping me sane and together this minimising any wobbles. Be kind to yourselves every one of you ??️???

CherryCezzy, snap, same day, same letter, same satirical sense of humour.

I'm actually feeling OK now and that letter secured me a delivery slot from Iceland today! grin

Our youngest daughter is a teacher. Today was her rota turn to go into work. I text her to say ‘hope your day went okay’. She replied saying one of the school governors had died from Covid-19 last weekend.

I’ve had a bit of a wobble tonight. Suddenly it all seems a bit more scary.

I’d read a couple of very upsetting news items on line today concerning young families and now wished I hadn’t.
