When I’m sad this brings me so much joy. (And makes me cry)
It was two weeks before Tony died. He was in pain & heavily medicated.
Yet, briefly, at the end of this I had my Tony back for a few lovely moments. Looking cheeky & teasing me.
I know I’ve shared it already 😑

I do. My husband passed away recently &, as all the flowers I was sent die, I’m printing with them. It feels good.

It’s 3 weeks since I realised Tony’s breathing was changing & I should sleep beside him in the lazyboy rather than come home & leave him with the rest home staff.
How is it 3 weeks already?

Sabrina is not the smartest cat.
There was a lot of crashing & thumping behind our bedroom curtains this morning. I could see the silhouette of her jumping & turning on the window ledge.
She was chasing a bird. A bird that was outside…

Tonight’s collage play time. I’m already seeing a pattern in the shapes & layouts I prefer.
The gel medium is only showing up as shiny because these are quick night photos on my phone.

I know I probably won’t make finished art for ages now Tony has died.
I’ve pre cut up piles of my handmade papers and am playing in a small journal.
It’s useful for honing in on the compositions and colours that spark my interest.

Colouring has been a mental health life saver through all this. Low expectations. Low stress. Portable.

I have a 9 year old rescue cat, Sabrina. She’s been with me 3 years and can still be quite skittery.

The Amaryllis is doing its thing. It’s got two flowers open, and the plain orangey red one is starting to open.

I have to choose a photo for the service booklet. There are 4 I like. Thoughts?
1 With his first real pizza, in Italy. A happy time.
2 Looking younger & healthy at Patea Beach.
3 In his fav Pink Floyd sweatshirt.
4. In his ambulance uniform with his headphones on. He loved his job.

My best friend & I drove to Samson today to visit Viv’s Kitchen.
Tony loved their famous cream horns & this cafe is one of the last out of town outings we did, at his request (a couple of years ago).
Tony’s this one’s for you. 🩷
