Always a comfort.I was looking a little video I made reading out one of my poems and I keep looking towards him and even thought I heard his voice.I just heard to day a friend’s husband has died which has brought it back.The first 9 weeks were the most painful.Maybe it’s shock.But I have done well,I think and managed to keep writing.In a way it’s good because it is my own thing and not related to my marriage although he helped me with criticism.Once he said,Did you write that? and seemed amazed.. probably did not think highly of my work initially… he would not say he liked something of it was not good.And it’s useful to get criticism if it is done kindly/politely.It shows someone has read it!!xxx
Yes, I’m glad you have kept writing and it looks as though several of your web friends have followed the enforced move of your blog. It takes a while but you seem to be attracting a fair number of comments on this site now.
Yes,it takes longer here as it is bigger.The difficult words posts have proved popular yet I did ot for myself initially.It’s also useful to know more words as well.
I think it is the eating alone that I dread most. I always used to hate it when I was away on business and had to eat alone in the hotel restaurant. There’s no doubt that meals are meant to be shared, something that seems to be recognised at the heart of Christian teaching. Perhaps you could start a ‘supper club’ with some friends? Easily said, I know – there’s something un-British about admitting we want company. I like the way one can go into an Italian restaurant and find whole families together, from grandparents to grandchildren.
Yes,I agree eating alone is not natural,,I have suggested eating together to one or two people but they don’t seem keen.Sometimes I end up making a sandwich…I don;t know why this came out in large print BTW.Sometimes it’s a relief not to have to cook at a set time but my schedule is getting erratic.I do think eating alone in an hotel is the worst thing as most people go there to meet family or friends.Anyway Ros looks very well in the photograph and she l ikes cooking interesting meals so you should be ok for quite a while.DV as we used to say.:)
