@oliverkiell It's funny, I spoke with Annette today (it was her bday yesterday) and am seeing Tracey in a week for lunch. We're all still in touch. Thanks for posting, brings back great memories.
So today my bf, son & I went to Manly Dam & fed ducks. A friendly goose came up for food too. When all the other birds moved on, the goose stayed & let me pat her. I stroked her neck & she nuzzled me for ages. I called her Bella La Goosey & it was hard leave her. I miss my Bella!
I got up to go to the loo at 3 am, found the living room & kitchen bathed in soft light from a remembrance candle, lit hours earlier for Mark's dad. Was so lovely; felt like his spirit was present.
