Feeling somewhat sad and nostalgic today.  Had to go out to my Mum's house today and go through her clothes and empty her wardrobes.  This because the house is now up for sale and we need to clear out her stuff in the event of it selling shortly.  There are quite a few people interested in it so its going to have to be done sooner or later.  Just made me feel so sad, although I got quite a few of her clothes and dropped them up to her in the nursing home, however she didnt want many of them. She dosnt have a lot of space in her wardrobe there and its very warm in the nursing home so her heavy stuff isnt really needed.  Brought some pictures, books, and some cushions that the kids had given her when they were smaller, but she didn't really want them either 'what would I do with them' seems to be her default response poor pet.


Brought a lot of her stuff to the charity shop in Bray and also the charity bin in Milltown after she had rejected some of the stuff.  Also brought some bits home to my house that will have to be removed and I rather like.  Feels kinda mean though as she is still with us iykwim.


DD2 arrived home from college with her Lab coat for chemistry labs and advised that she is heading to the Freshers Ball tomorrow night.  She is beginning to make new friends which is great as her classmates from school seem to be scattered all over in various colleges which is to be expected.  They do not seem to be making an effort to stay in touch which isnt nice for her but anyway hopefully she will make newer 'lifelong' friends at college.

Tonights dinner is already prepped, lasagne, salad, crusty bread and maybe a cheeky class of pinot grigio to accompany said repast.  Images www.googleimages.ie its not mine but similar :)

Namaste
Marie.
