Monday goodbye to the many named lady.

Into work for a brief half day - a quick sandwich at Starbucks then off to This pleasant building For Pats (elderly next door neighbours funeral). She was known to to the family as Peggy, but her real name was Patience (which she hated). This was eloquently explained by Jane the curate in her eulogy. None of this explained why her sister Eleanor is called Nell or Gladys. Mebbe it was a case of she has three names I want three too.
Then over to the abbey for a swift half of Rev. James Bitter 4.5% (afternoon bevvie always delicious in its sinfulness).
Funeral party return from crem and its butties and finger buffet all round. I sit with a fellow neighbour and though we have lived next door but one for 16 years we know little of each other. Home prepare food.
Off to tesco to buy ally something she wants to eat - chicken stir fry is plumped for.
Then home Colin is there and needs help organising his wee break at the end of the month is the destination via Ryanair and Easyjet sorted
