Five things
- Today feels like it's been going on for hours and hours, when in fact it's been OK and I haven't had to exert myself too much. Though as I write that, I'm thinking ah, it's probably thinking of my brother and trying not to get in a state about it in front of people but feeling so sad that he really is gone and not coming back. That kind of repeats on me - the realisation doesn't hold firm. I shared a photo of him and a local woman I don't really know but we have a lot of mutual friends, wrote SUCH A KIND MAN, loved and missed, with those capitals, and it's really touched me today. There's some kind of bittersweet thing when other people love and miss them too.
- Art group taught by lovely J but the painting was a geometric Lichtenstein that I decided not to do as I just don't have the patience or the steadiness of hand to keep within the lines so it just looks shit. Instead I did more poppy postcards and just tagged along with the chat and that was good.
- Lunch with my friend J, different J. Do you know amongst my friends I have two Janes, Jan, Janice, Jo - in fact five Jos, Jay, 2 Judes, a woman and a bloke, June, Jean, Judy, JD, Jennifer, Jenny, Jen, Jessica, Jess, Jose - first bloke so far, in fact two Joses, Joyce, Joan, Joel, Josh, 2 Jims, Jacob, Jessie, Justin, Julie, Junior, Julia, Joe, Jeannie, Jodie, Jon, JJ. No wonder I get confused when I read this back. I did what with who? Really? Anyway, this J is my best writing buddy and we're both in a good place with our writing at the moment and we had a delicious lunch and it was great but I wish she lived closer and I could see her more than once every few months.
- I picked up and knitted 79 stitches and only later discovered I'd done it on the wrong fucking side. I was so pleased that I had the exactly right number of stitches but I'll have to fucking unpick it as it's the foundation for the whole fucking thing. Fucketty fucking fuck.
- I don't know how to stop the numbers, but I am grateful today for my pal J and a chat with daughter who has been given someone's old phone and will get her sim card in it tomorrow and all will be well.
