Another short post today I think as we have had a fairly quiet Sunday.
The usual start to the day with the collection of the weekly grocery shop from Asda. And while we were collecting our shopping Molls and Dan drove by to fill their car up with diesel and were happy to take advantage of the fact that fuel prices were around 8p cheaper per litre than at home on the south coast!
With the shopping all put away and a coffee poured Simon had the task of ensuring that all the photos of my dad that we'd collated yesterday were of the correct dimensions to display on a digital photo frame. We have a couple of frames that we'd like to use tomorrow to share his life with those that come to remember him.
Other techy jobs this morning saw me update some details on previously scanned in old photos of ours, going back to 1995! And then Simon had some music files to convert into mp3 format to then load onto my usb stick for the car. As a member of the White Lies fan club I'd just been given access to a special link of a concert recording from 2019 and it just so happened to be a concert that we had attended at Brixton Academy in December of that year.
Molls and Dan spent most of the afternoon at my dad's house as Molly wanted to go through and see if there were any bits and pieces that meant something to her that used to be belong to either my dad or my mum. After a bit of rummaging around she has come away with a few bits and bobs and uncovered lots of old photos, birthday cards, telegrams, airgrams and more! We have items going back to 1917 and 1918 as well as postcards and messages sent during the second world war - all absolutely fascinating stuff!
Simon and I took a walk out this afternoon and managed just a couple of miles but it was good to be out in the fresh air and blow away some cobwebs. It had felt a little peculiar today as we approach tomorrow and I have been very aware that emotions have been close to the surface.
See you tomorrow.
