It's strange what sometimes reminds me of the changes of the last 6 months. Almost 6 months to the day. Today I went to Great Yarmouth. This used to be a kind of guilty pleasure for me & Leon. We'd go during the off season, have a bit of a walk on the beach, and get all sorts of household stuff from Wilkinson's. Today was the first time in about 20 years that I've paid much attention to the cleaning products' aisles. Leon has a zeal for cleaning, with the result that he would select the products to use on the floor, cooker, shower etc. And as an atypically (I bet it's not that atypical) unhouseproud woman, I'd leave him to it. Both the purchasing, and much of the cleaning.
So today felt quite poignant. And I'm still not that good at being on my own. I like company. But I haven't let the sadness get me down. Fortunately it's been a nice day, so I was able to plant some of the 100 summer bulbs that I got from Wilko when I got home. And that's the sort of thing that makes me glad to be alive.

Wilko's great, we used to have a very handy one in Nottingham. I'd like one in Norwich, but you're right, it's good going to Yarmouth for it. Tho next time must go on a saturday so i can get chips off the market.
Saw the super moon from home, amazing.
