Another anniversary
This week marked the 15th anniversary of losing my mum.
On the day itself, I did some grocery shopping and picked up flowers at Morrisons supermarket.
It was frustrating when the card reader failed to work at the new self-checkout machine. In the end, I had to unbag everything and scan it again at another checkout. My frozen items felt like they were beginning to thaw.
June has been a tough month because it includes the anniversary of my wife’s death. With round numbers for both anniversaries (10 and 15 years), it somehow feels worse this year.
I wrote a story on Medium about the day: Returning a Library Book and Remembering My Mum.
In the evening, I ordered fish and chips via Deliveroo because it was a special day. The food arrived 40 minutes later than expected and was not worth the wait; I wish I had not bothered because it was tough and not very warm.
