I was late leaving work this evening and, as a result ended up being half an hour late calling my beloved son. I am broke, and have absolutely no idea what I am going to do with my son next week during our five and a half hours together. I would have loved to have taken him to revisit the Bank of England Museum www.bankofengland.co.uk/education/museum/ I first took him to visit it while he was living with me, but if my memory serves me correctly it doesn't open on Saturdays.
It was truly a joy to converse with my son - nothing new about that, or the fact that I was filled with gratitude. He is a 'Gift' and a 'Miracle'. I feel so blessed, to be able to lavishly and overtly, convey my love and affections for my son to him and for it to be requited - just as from my mother to me...
Yesterday my mother rang me again. I know that she is concerned about me at this time. as she yet again told me to come to her, reminding me that I will always have a home with her. I have been cautiously negotiating with my own personal 'stress abyss' quick sand. I know excessive resistance means certain spiritual death.
I just can't afford to be so self absorb and self pitying to take for granted the fact that I do have some contact with my child. Heartbreakingly, for what ever the reason, many equally sincerely loving parents and guardians are unable.
I am 'On Call' tonight and one of my client who knew I was 'On Call' has just rung me and asked me to watch 'The Perfect Storm' on Channel 7. 'God works in mysterious ways the wonders he performs!'

Two days ago, I received an invitation from Ed Watkins, Deputy Chairman of Dulwich and West Norwood Conservative Association, to attend a forthcoming new members drinks evening. The long and the short of it is, I declined the invitation and requested to be invited to attend a coffee morning. All credit to him, today I received a coffee invite offer at some point.

Today I also received the following which I will also be attending:

Last, but not least:
On my arrival home from work today, I found that I had received my ticket to see Eric Clapton with special guests ARC Angels at the Royal Albert Hall at 7:30pm on Thursday, 28th May 2009.
