Messymascot's faith in humanity and ginger safe haven

[Val P]

Good morning all.I've just dropped Mr F at work so time for a cuppa. Another sunny day forecast. @Gwladysover, you will miss seeing Harry every morning, it's lovely that you have seen so much of him. @Val P I'm glad you are supervising Gary's recovery so well. He will thank you for it eventually @Pilks - good that you got some sleep. I strongly believe that your body tells you what it needs.
Last nightvI watched a programme on Sky about pangolins, narrated by David Attenborough. It was utterly shocking. In a year 100,000 of them were removed illegally from the wild and nobody knows how many are left. It mostly focused on one woman who, almost single handedly, is trying to save the African species from poaching. She was amazing. Well worth a watch.
I have no plans today - it might be a housework day. Chris and Sophie are visiting for the weekend. Chris had treatment 7 of 9 on Tuesday. He's due another scan soon, so hopefully, with everything crossed, the finishing line is in sight.
Have a good day all. X

Good luck to Chris today and for the rest of his treatment- it will be a day to celebrate when it’s all finished.

Good morning all on this dismal wet day ,the farmer's dream . I hope all had a good night especially @Pilks who was in almost every thought I had yesterday , as an inteligent person I still cannot comprehend the loss of a lifelong friend and partner ,does our brain protect us from the sadness until we have to cope?
I think most feel it for another person as a sort of fear that one day it will be them and they are inwardly relieved it isn't .
I hope @Pilks will post today as he seems the open kind that talking will help in a small way . As @Val P says there are those on here who have suffered similar tragedies or at least a life changing event that will try to help.
Let us all hope we can do our best to be sympathetic ears for the sake of his wife Janet who for sure would have hoped he would find them .
Have a good day all COYB.

Be careful what you wish for about me posting as all I seem to be doing at the moment is going from one person to another and pouring my heart out, just hoping something will help. I must seem such a pain!

I really don't know what the universe can have in store for me next. After losing three beloved dogs in successive years, 18 months ago I was diagnosed with prostate cancer. Thankfully it was still locally contained, and after four weeks of radiotherapy and six months of hormone therapy, my PSA levels since have been very low, so it is in remission. I have the next test on July 1. Now, the person in my life who has been with me through all this and been my rock has also been taken. I'm not a religious man, but if somebody up there wants to take it out on me so badly, I really don't know if I can fight any more..if you aimed a gun at me now, I'd let you open fire...

I'm going to try to sleep again now. But tomorrow will only bring the same

Jesus, there I go again!!

Scenes of racist gangs targeting migrant houses in NI is very depressing viewing. People putting signs and flags in windows to identify their nationality to the mob is like something you read about in a history book and wonder how it ever happened.

Talking and letting the emotion out is what you need Pilks and there is always a listening ear on GOT. If you can get a bit of sleep then do so and maybe even try and eat something first as well.

Please keep posting and letting your feelings out, don’t bottle them up, that is absolutely the worst thing you can do. Although I cannot even begin to know how you are feeling at the moment, I know one thing - you are stronger than you realise, in the meantime cry, rage , shout, there is always someone here to listen.

Good luck to Mr G today

@Gwladysover

Thank you. He’s gone through, I’m sitting in the waiting room and John Bishop is on the radio - oh joy!

We do wish for you to post ,just because of your situation . most of us on here are falling apart at the seams ,ladies aside ! It is so sad to hear that so much is happening at the same time .Have you tried contacting the bank to see how you can sort matters financial ? Have you spoken to anyone about the situation over benefits ? From what others have posted it is not something they are too hurried and although it is the last thing you want it is something to occupy yourself with and perhaps have a good moan or in my case fume ,which might release a bit of your tautness .
There is a light at the end of the tunnel and we will try to get you there with your help .One step at a time is the order of the day then one day at a time .
On a lighter note what do you think of the BMD ? Will you get there ? Who is your favourite all time player ? Current player ? Did you work for Pilks or is that your name ? What is your got to TV series / film genre ?
Somewhere around 60 years ago we had a connection with a family of that name but in Walton not out in the sticks ,where they play tick with hatchets my granddad used to say and he was never wrong -usually !!!
I know everyday is a week long but we can get through this .Stay strong that man .
