I am so exhausted it feels as i have just been driving for days. Yesterday i went from rochdale to bradford then leeds then rochdale again and then blackburn and i think my sat nav was taking me the long route everytime. So much road works etc on weekend as well. Anyway i went to Blackburn at 10pm last night as i had the opportunity to see a childhood friend who i had not seen since i was about 15. That was 35 years ago. Its was so nice to see her and catch up. I got back to rochdale 1am and feeling it now.
I also saw another childhood friend in the morning in rochdale before the wedding and sat for a while with her mum who has dementia. She remembered me and my family and i showed her lots of old photos on my phone. She has strong memories of my dad as he helped her with a lot of paperwork and applications for benefits when her husband walked out for another women.. Her kids were very young then. I remember that time clearly. In 2004 she went to our old house in manchester to try and see my dad as she just felt she wanted to see him after so many years. They told her her had moved a while back and had ended up moving down south to be nearer hs grown up kids and that he had just died a few days ago. Her and her daughter came to london the next day to see us all . So it was nice seeing her.
