Messymascot's faith in humanity and ginger safe haven

[larbert toffee]

My dad sadly passed away in his sleep yesterday morning aged 87.
He took me to my first Everton game when I was seven despite him supporting Leeds where he came from.
He was a good man who was always there for anyone in need.
It then took me 8 hours to travel down to Merseyside due to the M6 closure.
Tried to get something upbeat on the radio to cheer myself up but it was all solemn stuff due to the Queen's passing
It was fair to say it wasn't a good day all round.

I need an idiot's guide on how to upload photos from my phone straight onto here. I'm sick of having to send them to my laptop first and then upload them.

Where's Sassy when we need her.

I am so sorry to hear this. Sending love to you and your family. You've been a lovely son to him as he has been a lovely Dad for you. Much love x

Well good morning all on a bright sunny but cool day here in Finland ,I hope all had a fine night and have a better day today.
So nice to see the restaint by some posters ,yes I know it is a divisive subject but as said that is for another thread . We are all doing so well in respecting Karl and it is so pleasing to see this restraint ,it shows how much the thread means to us all ,for that I thank all posters .
Very sorry to hear of your Dad passing @larbert toffee ,you seem to be a fine example of his life's endeavour and for that he would be so happy . I lost my step father over 20 years ago and we were not close ,I am quite in awe when I hear stories as yours , they give me such a warmth inside .
I too agree @Barnfred 55 where is Sassy when we need her .
Have a great day all COYB

Morning Fred is it the time difference that has you up so early?

 

[Barnfred 55]

We're in beautiful Mykonos today. Going on an excursion to Minos, birthplace of Apollo, so there should be plenty of photo opportunities of old relics. I know H likes a good relic ?

A real good news story to share.

5 weeks ago one of our U15 girls was cycling and got hit by a car. Went through the windscreen and was put into an induced coma.

2 weeks ago she joined her teammates on the field while in a wheelchair as they secured the league.

Tonight she was kicking ball with her friends at the end of the game as kids flood onto the field.

Wearing a helmet saved her life. Please in your own clubs or homes encourage kids to wear helmets.

Wow , that's some recovery.

Safe to say we won’t be playing until after the International break.

I think the matches will go ahead next weekend , perhaps not the ones in London on Sunday ( if there are any )
