Having a early night, can't believe how tired I am.

[GrannyMac]

On the train to Stockport to pick up my connection to Sheffield. An hour gap. Hot chocolate I think. I'm full of cold, can't wait to get home now.

Rain and more rain here

[Raven]

Dry here but really cold, had to scrape the car before I could go to the pool.

Went to specsavers and saw my estranged son working there.  It's about 7 years since he cut all ties with the past.  Anyway, eye test done, specs ordered, and my son is still unwilling to make any attempt to engage.  Ho hum.

Sad when that happens. I've been lucky with my 3 although there have been the odd sticky patches.

[dextrous63]

He had got himself into an obsessive relationship with a girl back then, and lost the plot a bit.  She was abnormally possessive and begrudged/ felt very jealous of him having any relationship with his family and indeed his lifelong friends. So he dumped all of us, including his friends (who were/are naturally upset).  Think he's still with her.

I guess we'll now have to amend our wills since he made it clear that he wants no part of it.

Very sad Dextrous .. but it happens in many families..
I went into a shop many years ago only to be served by my teenaged son .. It was a little 'cobblers shop'.. and he came from around the back to serve me.. His face was a treat..
He got all flustered and told me he was there to pick up a pair of shoes for a teacher.. He was wearing an apron..
