I'm on the Carlisle train now. I'm hoping I'll see the ticket guy who'll map out the rest of the journey. Shouldn't cost any more and I'll get compo. Might even get there before my mates.

Is that on every year? I'm sure it was on last time I was up.And as it happens I’m posting this on a train to Edinburgh which started in Aberdeen so no problems in this direction. Having a couple of nights there with Mrs bl , got a meet n greet to attend tomorrow at 2pm then off to the King’s Garden Party for 4pm
I had to decline my invitation as it clashed with the races.
Dunno mate, there’s likely at least one per year or more , it’s at Holyrood Palace . But maybe he’s like you and arranges it to coincide with the racesIs that on every year? I'm sure it was on last time I was up.

I'm so pissed off I needed to post this twice.
Half way thru my second Asahi and the lads still not here. Looking forward to my haggis neeps and tatties though. It's a tradition.
Edit. Or as Cal used to call it. Haggis nips and titties.

Son bought me a tinned vegetarian haggis back from a trip to Scotland. Against my expectations it was very tasty.I'm so pissed off I needed to post this twice.

Thanks people for wondering how I am. I'm still here, but struggling a bit. I've got through some practicalities, I've claimed for UC and I have a car being delivered tomorrow - a 20-year old Ford SportKA for £1500, but it will keep me mobile, and I've paid for it and got a good insurance policy sorted out in advance - but today the emotional side hit me like a ton of bricks.
I've had a bit of a wobble this evening, and I'm not ashamed to say it. I'm without a car until tomorrow which has affected my mind more than it should - the Motability car, which was one of the strongest links to Janet, being driven away was a massively triggering moment. At least i get the new one tomorrow, and it's all paid for, so that's a relief, but it's emotion rather than practicality which has floored me more today. The big trigger this evening was that I was looking at the Sky TV account to see about whether to cancel or just reduce it, and when I signed in it came up with a stark: 'Hello Janet', as she was the account holder, and it just set me off. I took off for a walk to the shops to clear my head and get some bread, but it got worse as I walked. Idiotic thoughts which I have never given credence to before came to me, such as 'if there is such a thing as contacting loved ones after they depart, is she a restless spirit with not having been able to tell me about the money?'. I was annoyed with myself for even going there, as a logical person, but it wouldn't quit. I was thinking about all the things in her name that I have to transfer and take over, and I just didn't feel as if I had the strength or the will to lift that weight. I was so bad when I got in that I had to call a friend and just vent for ten minutes. It's at these moments when I get that feeling again that I just don't have the will to carry on. I know it will pass, but tonight has been a particularly bad hit. The life I had only a month ago seems to have belonged to someone else... Someone who won't come back...

Well @Pilks we were all waiting for you to do this post ,you have surmounted so many hurdles just going off that one post ,will you ever be in contact with Janet -yes ,you are now . Ask Fred ,Carol still comes to visit ,he still has moments as do all on here who have lost someone . Will Janet be sorry ? Just ask yourself would anyone who helps a friend so much be sorry for doing that to her other half ? Of course she is ,she just didn't get to tell you .
This Ford Ka reminded me I need new roller skates
The thing I learned from Fred was trying to find the way of getting past those emotions as each one needs it's own . One day at a time ,small steps just as you are doing . Stay strong that man .Good morning all on this glorious one here . I hope all had a good night and have a fine day day with loads of liquids today .
I thing impressing me about the club at the moment is the lack of impulsiveness that seems to prevail. They certainly have steadied the ship .More to see yes but positive vibes from me . Have a great day all COYB
