Day 166 Week 23

No news from C and have dutifully sent ketchup and garlic mayonnaise off to a foreign land and hope they don't burst on the journey as it will make a heck of a mess.

Saw on the news that two bomb disposal experts have been given the George Cross, one there to receive the honour personally and the other presented to the late soldier's widow in his honour. It's wonderful to see them recognised for the awesome duty and selflessness they perform and I can't begin to think how they do what they actually do, or did do, day after day after day. But thank goodness they can go on doing it knowing all the consequences imaginable and don't display the reluctance or fear we ordinary mortals possess.

Work good. Really needy students some of whom have had horrendous past experiences and they were very well behaved and keen to do well which is always a treat. Then drove home and weather wet and cold and real surprise as R home from college unexpectedly and she's really good and told me she wants to go and see my cousin and family over the Easter break.

Then had a call from another soldier's Mum and it's her son's twenty-first on Saturday, and he's C's best friend, and she's invited me and new friend to a drinks do at five in the afternoon and that's something nice to look forward to. And am also seeing new friend tomorrow night and have been ribbed mercilessly by colleagues a work as we're having a very exclusive evening having supper and doing practice maths papers.

Not heard from H and hope Cardiff went well. R just off in my car somewhere. Still now news from C. And fellow soldier's Mum finding it really, really hard.

Please Lord let them come home safely

Speak soon. A soldier's Mum x
