Bought myself a Christmas present. Canvas of Clio. This absolutely captures her essence and I feel totally connected to her when I look at it. £10 with a voucher. ❤️

Two months today since I let Clio go. Crazy that it's two months already. Crazy that she's not here beside me. Crazy that it hurts so much. You think I'd be used to death - been so much in my life - but this time is the hardest of them all.

I've had a productive afternoon. Built a bathroom cabinet and put it on the wall. And it's still there!!

Oldest selfie on your phone:
Well this is the oldest pic of me I have on my phone - 2006 and taken by the ex. Selfies are much more recent.

I took this photo of you on 18th July, not knowing that 8 weeks later you'd be gone. I thought life was hard before, but it's so much harder without you. I wish I'd done things differently but there's no going back. Forgive me.
I love you.

Weather forecast was completely wrong! Glad I got up and came to the coast. It's a beautiful day at the beach!

A better day. Lasted until 3.39pm at work, by which time the back pain had become too much.
Funny dream last night - probably due to pill intake. I dreamed that Clio had come to visit me and I was overjoyed. I was able to stroke and cuddle her, despite her being a spirit

Missy went over the rainbow bridge today. I used to dog sit for her.
So much sadness this year. So many goodbyes.

I've decided to make a tunis cake instead of a fruit cake for Christmas this year. There may even be marzipan fruits on top!
See you Merry Berries!

First day back at work after hols (sick) and made it through a busy day. Lots of people in the office which I wasn't expecting and interfered with my plans for the day.
Bushed come 3pm and had to hit the pills.
Thought about Clio tonight and smiled instead of crying.

Feeling much better today. Jobs to do so best get on with them! Be good you naughty monkeys!!!

Birthday celebrations didn't quite go to plan. Had a lovely lunch, but was too tired to make it up the hill to the charity shops. Toddled home and had a sleep on the bed.
Sitting on the patio now with gritty determination. It's not really warm enough.
