Singing as the Darkness Lifts

Yesterday I was in the company of two wonderful women. I feel blessed to have been able to stand so close to Dolly Parton twice in my life.

Had a lovely meal with family on Saturday to celebrate my dad's upcoming 70th birthday and then when we arrived back home we noticed a bit of a display going on in our town. So this weekend I have had family time, received a hug that will see me through a busy week and had my first ever ride on one of these big old things. Pretty cool...

Nice to see my brother and his family during our summer breaks. I like the fact that they holiday in North Wales and we can visit them. This year we got to spend two lovely days together while away from the workplace and this was lovely.

and checking words on departures and arrivals boards such as cancelled, delayed, diverted... supposed to be perfecting the art of mindfulness, but not succeeding tonight. Twitching until the plane lands in the right place and all is good with the world. Might need to listen to MCC's Transcendental Reunion to get myself grounded later on.
