spent the evening wrestling with Brownies accounts
Have finally managed to work out that I need to write a cheque for £345, but at times had managed to make it a cheque for £455 and one for £275. It took two of us to sort it all out.
You would never believe I’d done maths A-Level and got an A grade, would you? It’s true.
I also found (having lost them when there was someone around to sign them) the forms for changing the signatures on the bank accounts. This is helpful. I have those forms, the forms for the address change, and will sort it all out this weekend. Maybe. Also, sorting out Guider-in-Charge-ness. We came to a conclusion that there will be joint Guider-in-Charge-ness.
I spent much of the day trying to find out how many Guiding people are going to Emily’s funeral, fielding questions about what to wear (Debrett’s was no help whatsoever), and sorting out that we shall send some group flowers. I would like to assemble the posy myself, but I don’t know that I have time to. I shall have to decide quite quickly tomorrow night, based on the flowers available at the flower stall. If not, then I shall order from the funeral directors, and pray. Once again, I could have done with sorting this out a little earlier. Family flowers plus Guiding flowers. Blue and yellow flowers.
Wish I didn’t have to do it at all. It is wearing being diplomatic. So much communication puts me in a bad mode (or mood), and I mis-express myself. It will be nice to have it All Over and Done and have Pack Holiday All Over and Done and then it’s just a case of going camping with the Welshman and relaxing properly for the first time in quite some while. One of my Guides has written the loveliest speech, and read it down the phone at me, and it will be very beautiful at the memorial service.
I have so many things that I want to tell Em. I miss her. I’m not crying. I just miss her.
