Things seem a lot better this week, although the weather has been so weird lately and we've had floods in town.
Work is ok, a bit sad because A has now left to work in a different department. We will all miss her loads.
My sister came home this weekend, which was an event as I haven't seen her for nine years. I was so worried about how it would be, but everything was fine. Ray has now met my mystery sister and is satisfied that she does exist. She even said that she was sorry about the way she had behaved (ie refusing to visit, swearing at my Dad and slamming the phone down etc.). At least she's made the first move. I think it's time for us all to move on and look to the future.
