Can understand you wanting a break with hubby on your own @VM . No obligations to anyone. I know everyone reacts differently to grief, but one wonders how much of a brave face our husbands put on.
Adelaide is the big smoke for us and yes we have some friends who will look after garden. We can stay with my sister whilst we are there as she is happy for us to bring our dogs, the only concern would be if there is a Covid outbreak as she works in aged care. Six weeks seems a long time away from home, but hubby will do what needs to be done.
I am just plodding along, hoping for the best but knowing I need to plan for the alternative particularly in relation to my work situation, but also do what I can to make the most of the time we have left whether that be months or years.
Hubby does not have a bucket list and is content to be at home. We try and get out the house and do some sightseeing or the like once a week. He is the one cracking the whip to ensure we do a bit of work each day , phase 1 of kitchen garden completed, now working on finishing our porch area which needs painting and floor coverings after builder filled it in. We have washed down the walls and today we bought some sanding and painting supplies for the next phase of project.
