Whilst most of the rest of the world was happy to celebrate Valentine's day, it wasn't such a 'happy' day for her and she usually spends it quietly.
Her father suffered a very severe stroke which ended his life on St.Valentine's day in 1981. She was in Spain and received a telegram from her brother telling her and it was such a huge shock.
For she had enjoyed a very happy time with Hugo only a few days before she flew out to Malaga to help a friend move house.
And so she said to Inez how very grateful she was that she'd seen him and that they had had such a happy time together.
She's now several years older than her papa had been when he died.. rising sixty nine whilst he had only been rising sixty one.
Yesterday there is a chore to be done for a friend first and she spent the afternoon doing 'stuff' at the allotment, the fine weather we were promised had materialized!
However, I decided that I didn't want to go and stayed 'home alone', I know.. silly me, for she came home early, grabbed her laptop and shot out again to go to Raja's house.
Her old laptop of sixteen years died, he took out the hard drive and bought her a reader so that they could take all the information off it.
Yeah.. she found all the photos of the four wren babies who were born in the Shack in 2005! They are adorable photos and Raja was entranced by them.
Today we are going out to the allotments, we'll meet Jane at South Ken tube and have lunch out there, she has lots of red onions and shallots to plant and there are a lot of dead leaves to be raked up and old peony stalks that need to be cut down and burnt in the incinerator.
She's bought several bags of mixed dahlias tubers so they, together with lots of freesias corms, need to be planted.
Oh, you didn't know you could grow these lovely flowers outside? Yes, they're exquisite but you must remember to dig the corms up in the autumn and dry them off as they would rot in wet wintery earth.
We're off now as she has to get everything together. Many chirps to you all.
GeeGee Parrot.
