Changes

 It's been a while since I last posted and in that time the last of my parents generation in my family has passed away. I don't feel like I have mourned their passing yet and it did take me a while to mourn the passing of my parents so I expect this time it will be the same. I'm more involved in looking after the affairs of their estate and together with my cousin we will need to deal with their estate. I think there are other changes come soon too, as I have started to think about moving out of my apartment and putting it on the market, but that depends on how much the real estate people think that I will be able to get for it. I have also been playing with the idea of changing my car, but the cars that I am interested in have long waiting lists, up to 12 months in some cases. Usually I would be looking forward to going away for my birthday, but I have nothing planned and on this occasion there is no public holiday around my birthday (instead it is the weekend before).

Back to reality

Been back a couple of weeks now and the trip is just a memory. Returned too work and although the plan was to go in three days a week, so far I've only managed one due to complications with the effects of my food intolerances. Been to see my elderly aunt, who's in residential care and the last visit she was more distressed than usual, from what appears to be all to familiar symptoms to my food intolerances.  Went to check on her home and it was all okay. It was a lot of driving in one day, and is probably why I feel tied the following day. One of my friends has Covid-19 at the moment and he's not feeling very well at all, but he only has to isolate for seven days. It's one of the last restrictions in place together with face masks on public transport.

Platinum Jubilee Long Weekend

I have been in London for the long weekend to celebrate Her Majesty The Queen's 70 years service. Started off watching the Trooping of the Colours and then went to the Mall to see the members of the royal family come out on to the balcony at Buckingham Palace to watch the fly passed by military service aircraft.  The next day I wasn't feeling so great so missed out on enjoying the fine weather as the rest of the weekend is forecast to be wet. There is s concert being held at the Palace this evening, which we will no doubt watch on TV and there is a parade happening on Sunday, but unsure if we will go and see it given the weather forecast.
