Afterglow

Still thoroughly buoyed by last night. More kind messages, and I received such a nice email from Sarah Barnsley, full of encouragement. Various bits of admin to do this morning. Sent files of my latest interview to Robin. She had really enjoyed herself last night too, and liked meeting some of the Seaford posse.

Lorraine off to Caroline this morning and doing a workout. She collected me on return and we nipped about in Morrisons to do a shop. Funny how going shopping is always such fun with Lorraine. Laura and Braheem were supposed to come around for lunch with their first little baby Layla Rose. But Layla wasn't well today and they had to biff lunch.

Chatted with Anton, Stav's funeral in Ealing sparked all kinds of feelings and sombre reflections. Anton a pall bearer, and there was a long way to carry the coffin, and Stav not a small man. He also delivered a speech in church, and afterwards saw his own dad's grave and his grandparents too. The reception was in the Polish Centre at Ravenscourt Park.

Also caught up with Mum, and have arranged to zoom up next Monday. 

I went for a nice walk along by the sea today. Being able to walk next to the sea any time you want is fabulous. 

This evening, in need of quiet time after a hard week, feeling so lucky to be indoors with Lorraine and I scoffing a decent delivery curry from Spice Village Seaford, and watching The Traitors on BBC.
