I'd be glad of a hug or twelve, as long as they are gentle ones. In the last 4 weeks, my best friend of over 30 years has died of pancreatic cancer, without me being able to visit her. My favourite aunt (and godmother) has died of Covid. And now my son is in hospital with heart problems, probably brought on by stress. I have fibromyalgia and am helping to care for my three grandchildren despite suffering from constant pain and exhaustion. Not waving, but drowning here. Overwhelmed by grief.
Notinthemanual, I suspect your offer of hugs was a genuine one, albeit misunderstood by some of the people who have commented. If that's the case, please send them my way, and have
in return.
And can someone please tell me who Godfrey is? I can only think of the dear old chap in Dad's Army.
