Hi Gerry,
I love and miss you so very much. I wish with all my heart, body and soul that you were still here. Life is so very hard and painful without you. I miss your wonderful smile, sense of humour, love and kindness, love and support amongst so many other things.
It is the 22nd October today. Yesterday it was Austyn's 11th Birthday. He is very grown up now. Handsome, witty, clever, artist and he is so very much like you. We all wish you were here to be with us. Austyn and all the grandchildren wish with all their hears that you were here to know, and have lots of fun with. We bought him a computer game he wanted and then we will put some money in his bank account. I went to see him and he was going out with two of his friend trampolining and then off to Pizza hut with them and Violet and his parents. Darren had made him a Doctor Who tardis cake.
I had to buy another air fryer this week as the one i had made a funny noise and sounded dangerous. I was worried that the one i bought from Amazon was not any good and almost bought another one from Tesco's. Fortunately as i was about to pick up the last one another lady beat me to it. I took the one from Amazon to Darren's and he sorted it out and it was ok. So it was lucky that i did not get another one from Tesco's specially as it was bigger and more expensive. Thank you again for saving me from myself and making yet another mistake.
I have nearly finished my Christmas shopping this year. I only have two more present to get and that is just a token gift for Darren and Kelly, Jamie and Lindsay. I am keeping it short and sweet this year as I have shelled out for Disney in January. I am still not sure that it is ok for me to go, as Di is ok still and enjoying life. She is struggling a bit more with her walking now as its getting colder and much wetter and damper which exacerbates her arthritis. She is still eating well and enjoying her treats but sleeps a lot more and still poo's indoors most nights. Carol and Rick are supposed to be having her for me, but they will also have another old female dog at the same time. I am very worried as to how that will work out, especially as it is for such a long time. I am comforted in the knowledge that you will be looking after her as well.
Austyn and Violet are due for another sleep over tomorrow, I hope you will be her to enjoy them too.
Jamie is currently performing with the orchestra in the Royal Bath Theater playing for the Mack and Mabel musical. He says he is enjoying it.
Well the country and the world is in a very sorry state at the moment. We are about to get our 3rd Prime Minster within three months. The last one Lizz Truss has made such a balls up along with her Chancellor, that the country has been throw in to utter chaos. She has scrapped the two year energy price cap, u turned on every policy she previously announced and put up interest rates and mortgages dramatically. We are in a state of utter collapse as a county. Everyone is now facing poverty that has not seen seen this century. Everyone is living in dread as the cold winter approaches. Nobody can afford to put on the heating, pay there rent or mortgage, buy petrol for their cars or buy food as the prices are souring daily. We all want a general election now as the conservatives have been in power now for 12 years and have messed up everything beyond repair. We will have to wait and see what happens next. And to top it all Covid is roaring back again, as well as Vladimir Putting's war which is looking very dire with the possibility of a nuclear war, which would only give us 30 minutes left to live, he will wipe us all out.
Sorry to put all this doom and gloom on you, but i needed to get it off my chest.
I was 't have much more news at the moment but will write again as soon as there is more to tell you.
I hope all is well in your world. I hope you are having fun, traveling, playing your drums in famous bands all over your world, and wowing everyone with your famous legendary drum solos. I hope you are watching over us and having fun, and feeling happy, fulfilled, entertained and very proud of all you produced and achieved.
I am very much looking forward to be re-united with you and being in your loving arms again. In the meantime please always remember that I always have and always will love you forever and always.
Until we meet again,
All my love forever and always,
Maggie XxX
