As I write this I am tucked in the bedroom with the gentle lighting from the various sources I have in here, the fairy lights wound round the bedhead, the skull lamp on the bedside table, the flickering fake candles of the candelabra, the glow of the haunted mansion storm lantern as well as the light from the wax melt warmer in the shape of a cauldron belonging to the Evil Queen in Snow White.
Kev is watching Liverpool play and I escaped into here to read and relax before bed. I always love that I can make this room cozy and inviting just by the lighting and that I can read my kindle in lower light.
It's been a strange day, hearing the sad news that a woman from where I work has passed away, several friends contacted me to tell me, because they didn't want me to walk in tomorrow not knowing. Which was thoughtful and kind of each of them. It came as a shock, I knew she was poorly, but had no idea how poorly. I feel dreadful for her family, especially her little girl who is only 12! Such a hard time to lose her Mum. We weren't big friends, but she occasionally gave us a lift home if she was finishing at the same time as us, and they came to our Halloween party a couple of years ago. It's not something you expect. I fully expected her to be off work a long time, maybe even finish work, but not pass away like that.
That sort of led to us having a quiet day in, watching TV, doing a couple of projects and relaxing before the weekend at work.
