Westward Bound

I'm going to Wales today to be with my family, it what I guess you might call a belated mourning as a result of the death of my Nan. So I'm up earlish and Phil and I go shopping to get some supplies as there is nothing in the fridge or the cupboards, and after that it's not too long before I'm zooming down the motorway heading towards my parents.

I make a quick stop at Carmarthen to pick up an outfit for the funeral. Ordinarily putting together an ensemble of black for a funeral wouldn't be a problem - most of my wardrobe is black, but for Nans funeral we have a "no black clothes" policy, which has left me a bit stumped. So after a bit of umming and ahhing, I pick out an outfit. I also nip into a rather cool Gem and Rock shop, and manage to pick up 2 more cats eyes (which I've started to collect) - which are polished orbs of tourmaline. I've now got 4 of them in various colours - green, white, lilac and brown.

Eventually I get to my parents house, where as you'd expect most people are a little glum, but that's to be expected. We spend the evening making small talk, but I grab an early night as everything is catching up with me.
