Good things can creep up on you. Good
things can bite you and you don’t even know it until you get a little itchy
bubble under your skin that keeps reminding you.
I am grateful for the reams of easy company
and welcome acceptance I’ve experienced today. It’s a testament to Esther
Lilley that all of her friends and family are so apt to get on with each other.
So many of them did. I am inspired by so many of them too. Daniel’s sister
Sarah & Rob and their baby, Reuben (who allowed himself to be held and
jogged and giggled today, in a baby tux at the wedding, then a suity babygro). I am so smitten with him, as are all who interact
with him, it seems.
I feel like I’ve been welcomed into all
kinds of families today – Ruth’s, with her entertaining, happy children, warm
husband (goodness, that doesn’t sound quite like I meant it to) and easy
company. Amy, Sam and their dad, David, who had me for dinner and did family
laughing with me involved. Good, rich chats with Amy.

Rod, Lilley’s legendary brother, and her
mum & Wil. Lilley and Daniel, who are now a family themselves, and Daniel’s
dad (another revelation – how did I manage not to speak to him yesterday?)
There are a number of people I missed yesterday – of particular note is lovely
Suzy Furey – she said hi and I didn’t understand quite who she was. If only I
had. She’s such a nice lady. I wish I’d spoken to her. Wonderful, stylish Fran.
Another Ruth, all the other people who came to the hen do. Thank you, Esther
Lilley Harvey, for so many new people to play with.
Very pleased about an unsolicited offer of
work, talking to someone by chance (I think because of ‘my’ baby – not mine, of
course. Sarah’s. He had elephant ears on today. I’m surprised nobody gobbled
him up in one mouthful, that’s how cute he looked. A roast chicken and some
delicious parsnips. A bed. A book. My thoughts. All these are good things I am
giving thanks for today.
