Got a note from someone around the corner. This is the second one now.
It reads:
“Dear xxx,
I’ve moved into xxx rd. Fran suggested you may have spare lemons Thanks, Caroline.”
I have no idea who these people are…
Now this could turn into a mills & boon plot:
*It was cold, nearing sunset, the beach beckoned. With windswept hair and an unshaven jawline that could possibly cut ice, xxx decided to chance it. “Who is this mystery lady”? “Why do they all want my lemons”?
Questions that needed answers.
xxx carefully selects the best lemons, blemish free… “what if she’s the one” he wonders as he approaches.
He gets to the door… heart racing.
Not a moment too soon the door swings open to reveal a scantily clad siren with perfect dimensions…
“uhh, hi, I heard you were after lemons” xxx awkwardly mutters, trying to maintain eye contact.
“oh is that for me” she says gently.
“uhh, yeah…” and before xxx could pull out the note the she puts her finger on her bottom lip, looking him up and down lowering her voice to a whisper…
“oh not the lemons…”
Realising what’s happening, xxx drops the bag of lemons then spends 2 minutes picking them up.*

G’day all. So on top of everything that’s going on, a good friend of mine died yesterday. She’d had a lifelong battle with illness and it finally beat her. Yesterday was a day of tears, but today I just felt flat. The kids get it (mum’s sad) and let me wallow in bed a bit more than usual. Watched a movie, not sure why, called Arrival (on Netflix). Mostly was pretty boring until the last half hour or so where it suddenly changed gear and was mind-blowing. Now to make pizza and eat leftover pasta that I made into a bake.

So hard to hear this news on top of everything else that’s been happening for you. That flat feeling - know it all too well. It’s not grief as such I think - more exhaustion of overstretched emotions that have just run out and stopped. Be kind to yourself. We are here in support.
