Messymascot's faith in humanity and ginger safe haven

[blueloon]

Morning all. I’m just about feeling alive again after 4 days of bad lurgi /chest infection, constantly cold despite wearing 4 layers . This old age malarky is not good at times as this seems to happen to me once a year these days. Got to make an effort to get things done today as we’re off for an overnight trip north to Dornoch tomorrow, a lovely place famous for its golf course really. Have a great day all.

Morning all, bright and sunny here but heavy rain forecast for later. Couple of days dog-sitting for us as son and family are off on a jolly to a gig in Manchester, don’t ask who - I’ve forgotten the name of the singer, although I’d probably never heard of them in the first place.
Hope you are feeling better @jazzy and @anjelikaferrett, @Barnfred 55 and @Val P are still recovering well. Have you got over the shock of your encounter with the adder @blue1948, horrible things snakes. I know they say they are more frightened of you than you are of them - in my case they most certainly aren’t!
Have a good day, all

Yes thanks it was frightening but not my first encounter this year just my closest .You are correct though they do all they can to get out of the way .

Bet that wasn’t good for the blood pressure!

I feel sorry for the poor snake

Think I've had the same virus. Cold , cough , bringing up phlegm ( sorry if too much information) and no energy.

Anyway have to battle through it . With the rain ( at last ) no opportunity to get into the garden so it's a gentle gym session and an hour's table tennis today.

Declared myself unfit to play league matches tomorrow, I think that too much exertion ( you see contrary to everyone's thoughts I'm not totally stupid).

Anyway I know we've been asked not to speculate on what happened yesterday , and I won't , but I guess that could just as easily have been me , Fred , G and her family and any of the wider GOT family at Goodison the week before.

Fingers crossed that everyone injured makes a full and speedy recovery.

Have a lovely day everyone.

Hi everyone, hope you're all well.

Are we all excited for the summer for a change. I really hope we use this opportunity to kick on and not waste the best part of a decade declining like under Moshiri, who for all his faults did give money to spend it was just pissed up the wall. We have to do better this time as we've lost a lot of ground to a lot of teams.

We've been overtaken by clubs that are smaller than us but have been ran superbly, with good recruitment and an actual plan.

I have just woke up from an unexpected nap and feel a bit like poop for some reason.

I'm going to phone the Drs tomorrow, I think I have procrastinated long enough as is my way.

Have a good day all.

Yesterday’s type of incident is made all the worse when you have walked the same streets. It does make you think how easily it can happen but it’s not the way to live your life at the same time. In fear I mean. Some things are just out of your control no matter how many precautions you take.

I really am looking forward to the summer now you ask! Getting our public pursuit of Delap over the line would be a good way to kick it off even if I’m not entirely convinced. Who am to question Moyes though given the job he has just done

I like Dunlap , I think he would be a great fit for us but I think he will be tempted by playing CL.

Delap ....FFS!

 

[Terrarian]

I like Dunlap , I think he would be a great fit for us. but I think he will be tempted by playing CL.

I haven't seen enough of him but he did well in a relegated team and is still young enough to improve. I think we'd suit him, I don't think he's ready for a cl team, reckon that's why pep got rid. They do let talent go early if you ask me. Easy to do when you can spend indiscriminately with no consequences.

One of my first thoughts on seeing the news yesterday was “What if that had been last week?” Hoping everyone is okay and the injured are recovering well.

Discussing the NHS this afternoon I remarked that I should have had a follow up appointment at the eye clinic over a year ago and thought they must have forgotten me. Less than ten minutes later I had a text from the hospital confirming an appointment - spooky or what?

Thanks @Gwladysover - today I get to ditch my sling! This is good news but a bit of rehab ahead as it’s painful and my range of movement is limited but as I mentioned before I have to crack on as I need to be driving by next Thursday.
Hope you enjoyed dog sitting and your son enjoyed the gig
