The funeral was very sad. The church was absolutely packed. There was standing room only by the time we got there. Took us 10 minutes to find a carpark as the streets were lined with cars. I don’t think there was a dry eye in the church. We didn’t go to the burial but went to the wake. It was a beautiful service. Two of his children got up to speak - very touching.

I had my flu vacination on Wednesday. Was very sick that night. Felt like I had the flu - very stiff and sore - totally felt yuk! Feeling better now. My arm is still sore and very red where the injection went in. We got a goodies bag for getting the flu vac. It had ovaltines, m&m’s, nutella, tea bags, nice smelling tissues, a pen and jila mints. I think some people only went for the goodies

Work has been extremely busy this week - major deadline to meet by COB Friday. I have been working long hours (for me) and feeling a bit stressed. Can’t wait for the weekend.

We have our first meeting with the church about our wedding on Saturday. Not really sure what it is for, I suppose to find out what happens, procedures, etc. Milf needs to go to a marriage preparation course down the track. Just under 7 months to go now. Everything seems to be running smoothly so far
