Weather is too hot for English people, thus apparently apt reason for a good old moan. I looked past the sun in my eyes and enjoyed the shine.
Spent all morning doing some last minute revision for Law O1 which was at 1pm. I’d just given in to the Gollum-esque self debate on whether or not to allow myself a hot chocolate when the phone rang. It was my Dad. The doctors had said it was okay for him to come home and he was ready and waiting! I dashed into Tony’s room and roused him from slumber to get his arse up out of bed and get my daddy-o home. He did so and a short while later they were home.
Home. It hadn’t really felt at all like home at all without him around.
The first thing we did was to venture out into the garden. We sat together on the bench feeding the ducks. He had tears in his eyes and apologised for being so sentimental lately. Last Friday, my brother and I went into visit him at the hospital: it was the first time since the operation that we saw him lucid. He was so overwhelmed. He started crying. I asked him why and he replied “I’m just so happy” Since all this terrible business that is one turn of change that has resounded in all of us - the vital importance of just enjoying life’s simple intricacies.
We spent the morning talking and drinking Earl Grey Tea. He’s developed a recent fondness for it. He was drinking tea just days after the surgery. It astounded the doctors. The only issue was the rancid NHS ‘tea’. An assorted help-pack of teas compiled as a matter of urgency and enjoyed by Dad ASAP.
Sat out on the balcony earlier we watched the damsel fly dance and descend - content with the company of nature and each other. Beautiful.
Today was gorgeous.
Life is precious.
Why do girls on Tumblr torture themselves with pictures of stick thin women?
A) these women don’t even look good, they look like they could snap. WHAT HAPPENED TO TITTIES AND ARSE, B) it’s just gonna make you miserable, if that’s not your natural body type then face it, you’re never going to look like that, and C) stop comparing yourself to others, just eat and drink healthily and then you’re gonna be more happy with whatcha mamma gave ya!
RANT OVER
