The first week of January is already flying by and we are on Friday already. The last few days has been busy enough, making time for walks, readings, relaxing and spending time family. Yesterday my son, my youngest daughter and myself went out to visit my Dad's grave in Bray, (he died on 9th June 2012) and to give the grave a bit of a tidy up, which hadnt been done since we did it in November 2012. It wasnt too bad but we brought some fresh flowers and planted some narcissus and hyacinth bulbs, so they will be lovely in the spring when they come up. My son is home from France for Christmas and he got stuck into the weeds on the perimeter of the grave, turned the soil and did a great job. He has been a joy to have around the house and we will miss him when he goes home on Sunday 6th Jan. We then called to my mother and had some chip butties and cakes for lunch, and my sister happened to call in also with her eldest son, so we had a lovely get together and chat over tea and cakes. Then we took Mum to the grave for a look-see, she dosnt like to go there and especially not alone. Then we took her back to our house for the night. A relaxing tea of a big fry up and we all collapsed on the sofas for the rest of the night.
Today has been more of the same although I have been busy too, out walking the dog with Mum locally, then out walking with my youngest daughter and cycling up to UCD to get some library books. Trying to get ahead of myself with some Semester 2 readings. Successfully got the two books I was interested and can keep until 22/1/2013 - result :)
