122. Quiet time

CONIL DE LA FRONTERA, CADIZ, SPAIN

Success - bribery works. Much online maths being done. The double reward of computer time and money has succeeded on all but Roman who is more interested in Edward, his little friend, a short sprint up the campground away.

Jacqueline's Dad, Pat Chapman
Jacqueline's focus for the day was getting some thoughts down regarding her Dad, Patrick, in time for his service on Tuesday. Never an easy process, where does one start or finish? Pat was a good man, she loved him and has happy memories. Pat knew this. We are so glad that Jacqueline was able to spend a few weeks with him in NZ, late last year. 

We have decided that Jacqueline isn't going back for Pat's funeral on Tuesday. Instead we would like to get a ticket for Margaret, Jacqueline's Mum, to come over to visit us for as long as she wishes, if she likes the idea? This would be wonderful as she would get time with the children and see another part of the world. I remember my own Mum saying at the time, after the death of my father, life got very simple for awhile, particularly after she removed all his medical appointments from their dairy. Margaret, if you read this, my loving condolences, we would be delighted to have you visit.
