One year on

A year since Her Majesty died - somehow seems longer

It's not been a good year for moi, starting back on Jan 3rd.

Lost another family member during the year, and step-daughter is not at all well, now been in hospital for six weeks tomorrow. Can't say it has been a good year, although personally, despite my balance problems - saw the GP yesterday - nothing like as bad as yours, Raven

Sorry to hear about your step daughter Mike. A mixed year for us healthwise, but nothing as severe as Raven's had.

A year since Her Majesty died - somehow seems longer

I never think about it as she meant nothing to me whatsoever.

However, I doubt it'll be worth watching the news as there'll be little else on apart from tedious re-runs of her reign.

And, far more importantly, there's no Emmerdale or Corrie on tonight as it's damn rugby.

Yes, it should be on for those who want to watch it but how many other channels do ITV have that they could use.

As regards the year for me it's been ok as I've been too busy with my adopted family to dwell on things & it's given me a routine.

Also, as an only child & no contact with any of my cousins, I don't know what's happening to them so I don't see them popping off one by one, but I imagine it must be upsetting for you Mike.

Don't really see the point in a Remembrance Day for her if Hugh Edwards isn't going to present it with expert insight from Philip Schofield.

Thanks, Phil. It does get dispiriting - in the last five and a half years, I have lost three friends and six family members - and they were by no means the first. Even lost our little dog.

Sorry to hear that.  Condolences and apologies for not commenting on it before my glib post.
