Good morning all on this great day here 22° already . I hope all had a good night and wake up to a lovely day . It would be nice to hear from @Terrarian hoping his headaches have reduced and his meds are more suited . I finally started on my water tap feature ,originally it was to be a cascade but the concrete pieces where not the correct dimensions and it would have weighed a ton ,this will weigh a fraction of that but will just be a running tap onto some old sauna stones .Photos to follow !
I commited the cardinal sin living out in the sticks -I ran out of petrol for my strimmer so couldn't strim before I mowed ,I am not OCD about it but it just looks neater . Of course when I finished I realised I had higher octane for another machine that would have been fine ,if I wasn't so daft earlier in life I would blame it on my age .
Have a great day all COYB

Morning everyone,
I try to make a point of reading every post that I've missed the previous day when I awake.
This morning I was struck by Val and @peteblue posts and reminded of lines by two of my favourite lyricists.
For Val it's Paul Simon and "I get all the news I need from the weather report" from The only living boy in New York.
And for you Pete it's "Tired of Sleeping" a wonderful track off Days of Open Hand by Suzanne Vega.
Pete I desperately hope you can get some rest mate.
Have a lovely day everyone.
@peteblue the full line is "It's just that there's so much to do and I'm tired of sleeping. "
This puts me so much in mind of the life that you portray.

It was a beautiful evening so left the patient at home and headed off to the country dancing festival. Held in the beautiful grounds of a local independent school, the buildings and facilities were quite an eye opener for my state educated granddaughters. No Gay Gordon’s or Strip the Willow on the dance programme but there was one called The Leaving of Liverpool.
Just going to remove Mr G’s eye patch and start the drops… the screens, nurse!
Have a good day, all
Hagar with an eye patch. Shudders.!!!

Is that because the border follows a meandering river. There's a similar patch of the A49 in Shropshire that crosses the Severn several times.

Seeing as it's world gin day it would be rude not to. Cheers everyone. I hope you are all able to enjoy your weekend given all that's going on around us. Everytime you blink something else seems to have happened.
There's still a world turning out there??
I've had the stress from hell this last few days. She used to do the finances, as that was her 'thing', being otherwise trapped in a chair the whole day, and I found out that the savings account was in her name, so without a death certificate yet the bank can't even tell me what's in it! I have found out that she had been givng a lot (like, many many thousands) over the last few years to a close friend who had found herself in dire straits, and while I forgive her for that even if it was without telling me (I'd have stopped it), because her main flaw was that she was stupidly generous to friends who needed something. And being stuck in the life she was, with even her sight failing, I guess you would do anything to feel better. Her friend is a chow dog breeder who has lost all her breeding bitches through terrible luck, and Janet financed her getting several more, with all the vet bills, operations, food etc, so that she could start her life again. It also enabled her to have dogs vicariously again now that she could no longer do much towards looking after them, and I can't resent her for that. Walk a mile in someone's shoes, especially if they cannot walk. I must admit though that I desperately need to find out if there's money there and that I'm not destitute, and doomed to Universal Credit and pauperhood until pension age in three years... I also have to delve through what pension schemes we have uncashed and cross my fingers.
I should have kept an eye with her on the financial situation, but when it's the only aspect of life you don't have to think about, you just let it go...
Talk about your life upending in a week! Emotional crisis and financial stress are a hideous mix. I'm still eating the odd snack and getting some sleep when I can, day or night. Or often neither. I can't see the end of this right now.
To have her back for five minutes I'd even take another Liverpool title win. And that's when you know it's serious!
Does your wife have a will? If she has I'm assuming you are the main beneficiary and her executor. You need to get a grant of probate which will allow you to deal with her affairs. If she hasn't got a,will - apply for letters of administration. You can do both on line - it isn't very complicated to do but you do need a death certificate first.There's still a world turning out there??

Hi folks. Yesterday we went out to the local pub to help a friend celebrate her birthday. It got messy- I feel rough as a badger today!
Unfortunately Chris and Sophie did not come. One of their cats has gone missing and they wanted to stay home to search for her. At the moment the cat is still missing.
Chris also had some slightly worrying news - he went for a check on his moles and one of them, in his words ' looked dodgy'. The consultant dermatologist looked at it and said she wasn't sure but , given his history, it would be better off removing it. I feel like they are being ultra cautious but it is still a worry. He's so close to the end of his treatment- only two left and everything has been so positive so far.
Hope you have all had a good Sunday - Happy Father's Day to the Dads!

One thing after another for Chris and Sophie, it is better to be safe than sorry though. I hope that their cat turns up soon and you are feeling less like a badger now.

Hagar says Hello!A classic song made famous by that well known Liverpool group The Dubliners.

Usually husband/wife is simpler and quicker, it took me over two years to get my late sisters estate sorted , mainly due to her giving large amounts of money away as gifts. Although I used a Solicitor to do the complex legal bits I spent more time than her on the bank account bits to expedite it . In the past I’ve found Solicitors, while necessary, often make mistakes, so I did a lot myself while pushing them to do their bit as quickly as possible and also checking their work.
Sadly no. The Border was drawn to maximise the Unionist population for perpetuity, encircling small areas to ensure. What is happening now re demographics was not foreseen.
