Suddenly halfway through applying my eyeshadow I burst into tears - now as every woman knows that's a bad time to cry, only slightly better than whilst applying mascara. A mascara wand in the eye is really very sore!  Back to the tears - the reason for them was a sudden and very vivid image of my Mum, out of the blue so to speak, no prior thoughts just Mum.  Strange how the brain works. It's been over 4 years now since she died and that I find hard to believe….where do our lives go?  They flit by for the most part and we don't notice. Thanks Mum for making me notice.
