@Jacques hey Jacques, saw your post to Sophia. Just wish to catch up with you a bit. Glad to see you enjoying motor bike, garden, painting etc. I have been trying to get out more and get along with more people in my life. Mum is getting older and more frail. Brother has not been in contact for a few months. A lot of time, I feel sad. A lot of time, I am very fearful and anxious. Hope you will continue to be well.

I got some practice done, and talked with my friend Peter who's a fellow musician with the music performance unit I perform with. He's practising some Bach cello suites and arranging them for ukelele ensemble. He lent me a book of music he wrote for his mother's poetry; I've been looking at it, it's breathtakingly beautiful @greenpea, he'd like me to sing it.
My family is also dealing with my younger sister's escalating alcohol and drug addiction problem, her behaviour gets worse at this time of the year because it's the anniversary of my mother's death, and in January we have the anniversary of my brother's birthday and his death at age 25. Mum G on 02/04/1988, 3 years after Bruno, both were unexpected, and then 25/04 is G's birthday. [edited by moderator]
My sister's blacking out and telling everyone Dad's sick and in hospital when he's not, and then saying he's causing the problems or we're causing the problems. So I've had a take time out from her. I messaged her this afternoon to just say "Are you ok?". She messaged back saying yes. I'm tired now though. and spending the evening listening to a jazz concert and spending time with my cats, having had dinner.
How's your weekend been @greenpea ?

@Abner you are going through so much atm i can only imagine how hard life is for you at this time. Thank god you have your music. I wish i was talented enough to sing and play a instrument or more. My father was a alcoholic but died thankfully back in 2001. I hope that doesnt sound callous but he put his family through hell particularly my mother.
As for my weekend it was wonderful. the weather was wet and grey which is how i like it. spent it with my children which i always enjoy. Again i hope you can relax tonight with your furry felines enjoying your music and dinner.x

I also enjoy wet weather, @greenpea @ there's something comforting about being inside and warm and dry when it's wet, and it's great for my plants
