Sadness

Todays post is to record the recent passing of my Dada Edward who died on Saturday last at 12.55pm June 9th, 2012.  He had been ill for the last 2 years with dementia and was 84 years old.  He was a gentleman, a gentle man, kind, funny, silly, strict and is sadly missed by my mum, his daughters, sons and extended family and relatives.  The removal and funeral were on Monday and Tuesday and despite the sadness of the occasion were happy events, filled with love, laughter, tears, memories and remembrances of a wonderful husband, father, grandfather, brother, neighbour, friend.  He was much loved and will be greatly missed by all who were lucky enough to have known him.  Rest in Peace Dada, I will always love and miss you.

Wednesday 6th June

Another long weekend over and still no sign of the summer!!! Watched some of the Diamond Jubilee festivities in London on Sunday and Monday.  The concert in front of Buckingham Palace was great.  My favourite was Stevie Wonder and Elton didnt do a bad job either.  Another queen celebrating his Diamond Jubilee !! haha

Today back to basics and my DD2 has started a part time job.  Great news for the pocket and the figure.  Walking there and back and making money in the process.  Perfect !!  On the other hand I am off to UCD to get my feedback on one of my exam papers which I wasnt especially happy with the marking of :( then out to Bray to visit Dad.

Best of luck to all the Junior and Leaving Certificate students starting their summer exams today especially Leah and Emma.  Thankfully no big exams in our house this year............. and mine are over and results obtained.

Namaste

Friday essentials

Good morning, and its an overcast one today.  After a lazy start with a nice long lie in, will be going out to Bray today to have lunch with my mum and sis and then down to visit Dad in San. Remo.  My younger daughter has her prom night tonight and will be getting ready all day no doubt, with hair, make up, tanning, all to be done to perfection by 8pm tonight.

Have a good day all
Namaste
Marie.
