[QUOTE="Marguerite, post: 232550, member: 1991"] G'day, folks. We had an interesting day today. I went to the funeral this morning, of a lady from church. She was a fairly abrasive person but matter-of-fact. I liked her but could see that she could be scary for some people. But the church was packed by the time I got there, and I was right on time. More people flowed in, people were parking streets away. difficult child 3 had sent his condolences. She used to be his Scripture teacher some years ago, she always asked after him and seemed to have a better understanding of him than most people. Turned out (I didn't know) she had been trained as a teacher before she and her husband became missionaries. I'm glad difficult child 3 didn't come to the funeral - it was crowded, the wake afterwards was packed, difficult to move. So I passed on our condolences to the family, and left. Back home I got difficult child 3 doing some schoolwork, then we went to the beach mid-afternoon. The king tides had almost submerged the b each this morning (judging by the lack of footprints) but by this afternoon the tide was well out, difficult child 3 was wading where he normally is way out of his depth. We looked at the denizens of the rock wall that are generally never exposed by the usual tides, difficult child 3 was very interested. We got home, to be met by daughter in law's mother who had dropped in "on spec". So we sat, had coffee, talked (about daughter in law mostly) and then when she left I got back to my tasks. Right before the beach visit, I had dropped a diamond earring down the plug hole, and had stopped to rescue it. To do this I had to empty the bathroom cupboard and I had just left it all, expecting to get right back to it on our return. So I showered, tidied, cleaned and then dressed again. Tomorrow is forecast to be even warmer than today, so hopefully we'll get in some more beach. difficult child 3 is now well-motivated to get A LOT of schoolwork done, even though it's still school holidays for us. So we'll work on it, try to fit it in around everything else. Summer is short enough! Wednesday & Thursday, we'll be too busy to get in much beach visiting, so we ned to get what we can while we can. Enjoy your Monday, everyone. Marg [/QUOTE]
