Beware the Ides of March

March turned out to be a less than happy month for Julius Caesar, I know how he feels.

Month was dominated by the passing of my mum Laura, whose life journey ended on 19th March.  Even though you might suspect the end is drawing near, it's still a shock when it actually happens, she is at peace now and free of the cruel illness that affected her in her final months.


Auf Wiedersehen Mutti, you won't be forgotten by your family and friends. The funeral was well attended with family and friends, many of whom I hadn't seen for decades.

Other minor incidents this month? Well, after visiting my mum for last time some woman reversed into my car in Lidl carpark, so am going through an insurance claim right now, will probably cost me a whack unless she admits liability- there were no independent witnesses.  Got a courtesy car today while the minor damage to mine is repaired.

Also, at work things have been far from easy, with a major fallout with two members of the co-owners family, however I am in the right and have received support from colleagues. Hardly a stress-free existance this month though! Oh, and we are likely all to lose our jobs due to the parent company of Morphsuits internalising their operation, it will go pear-shaped for them for sure, but such is life.

To clear my head a bit, I spent a couple of nights in Lundin Links, walked Elie to Anstruther in the howling wind and snow, good for the mind so it is.

Anyway, I hope things get a bit better from April onwards, months like this one I really don't want to experience again in a hurry.
