Am finding today a bit odd myself.
It's my Dad's birthday today (snap, @Former-Member) and he's so far away. We'll ring him later today to say "Happy Birthday", but I expect otherwise his day will be pretty quiet. He's literally outlived his friends and family, apart from our Mum. There's a few "family friends" who keep in touch, but maybe one that's specifically Dad's friend, and he doesn't live close by either.
And youngest daughter is coming back from a few days with an old schoolfriend, bringing said friend for a short stay here. I'm meant to be cleaning up a bit so that we've all got room to move, but my heart's not in it at the moment. But I'd better keep soldiering on with it. Have to tell myself that I'll like the results when I see it tomorrow morning.
