Good Arvo

Morning everyone,

Glad to see you all had a good weekend! Mine was fairly stressful, for those of you that don’t know (maybe everyone except Jonno possibly!!) my Papa died on Tuesday and it was his cremation on Friday. He had been in hospital for a while but we thought he was getting a bit better. It’s very sad for my Nan since they were married for 58 years!

We had to go via Bristol to pick my sister up and her boyfriend on Thursday night and we all stayed at my aunties in London. The cremation was on Friday at Golders Green Crematorium which is really nice (and lots have famous people have been cremated there – most recently John Inman who was cremated there the same day!) The service was the usual mix of English/Hebrew so it was quite interesting but I think I spent the whole of it in tears anyway.

Even so, it was a good opportunity to see all my cousins and we had a lovely evening catching up with each other and planning a holiday to Vegas next year since in Papa’s eulogy it mentioned the time they took all their grandkids on a cruise and we ran up a £2k bar bill!! My cousin had bought a new PS3 so we all had a good look at that too!

We came home on Saturday and then I went and did lots of shopping on Sunday! That always makes me feel better!! Am back at work today and I’m really hating it, my boss is driving me bananas and I really wish I’d won the lottery over the weekend so I didn’t have to come back!

Oh well, that’s all my news for now…
