Feb. 19th, 2026 07:00 pmHusband is on his way home. Uncertain about what time he'll arrive here other than 'late'.
I've been making a spinach lasagne so there's something in the fridge he can heat up if he needs it. The word 'lasagne' is doing some heavy lifting here, because when I did the shopping for it, I confidently assumed there was a whole box of it in the cupboard.
There was not.
There was enough for one layer, so I had to improvise for the other layers and have used spaghetti. I mean, pasta is pasta. It'll be fine.*
( Funeral thoughts )
*It is, in fact, fine. A little more unruly to serve, though.
**It used to be a rule that the funeral should take place within a week of the death, so that's what we're used to here. I've never arranged one myself, so I can't really say what the difference is. Maybe it just went so much quicker because it had to? I'm informed, however, by a coworker who lost her father last year that this rule is in fact no longer in effect.
