on this seventh anniversary of losing my beloved, I started the day by going to Safeway and buying flowers and an orchid for work… flowers for the front of the office and some for my space…

was very happy that they had orchids because the last few times I’ve been there haven’t been any…

my beloved always bought me flowers and orchids, particularly in the winter which has often been a difficult time for me…

at noon, I ran out and picked up samosas to share for our lunch… this was something he would do every now and then… seemed like a lovely way to remember him and what made him so special…

it was a great meal, with salad, veggies, hummus, cheese and grapes added by my colleagues…

as it is Shrove Tuesday, pancakes were on the menu for supper and I made potato pancakes, a nod to the world’s best hash brown patties that he would make…

a good day with many lovely memories…
