Cass, I'm so pleased for you that you were able to be there. And I can imagine it would've been quite overwhelming for some of the little ones who can be quite empathic without realising where the strong emotion is coming from.

for everyone today who has been remembering Lulu, and especially Ange and Trill and Ginger. xxx

There was a small balloon ceremony here in Adelaide but I didn't feel like I could do it. I had a mini virtual balloon release instead out there in blogsville...it seemed fitting since this is the space I knew her in, and because she blog-rolled my Oprah blog I wanted to acknowledge that connection too..

Arte, yes thanks, all good in my world...I think I've been a little quieter than usual out of deference for the grieving that is going on. Had a little woohoo the other day when I woke up and realised my lurgie was getting better WITHOUT a trip to the dr and three rounds of antibiotics But to get to that point I had to rest a bit more than usual. Plus Trill had me hard at work proofreading the other day. I missed my calling as an English teacher . How are you feeling, starting to feel sick? Ride that ginger if you can. xxx

Trill are your kids back to school next week? We still have a week of hols to go which is good because I haven't shopped for new school shoes yada yada yet. Ladies enjoy this time before your little ones start school!

Ange, how are you going now you're back? I can understand why the seeming lack of movement has you worried, maybe it's just a little too early. Will you be having an US while you are here? Might be a good idea, just to provide you with that reassurance.
