Messymascot's faith in humanity and ginger safe haven

[anjelikaferrett]

Glad to hear you are feeling better, @anjelikaferrett. @jazzy Hope Rosie is enjoying the garden after having her stitches removed. We went over to Stamford for a pub lunch today and had a look round All Saints’ church while we waited for the bus home. Took a few pics. The brass commemorates wool merchant John Browne d.1442 and his wife Margery d. 1460.View attachment 172065View attachment 172067View attachment 172068View attachment 172069

Happy Canada day 155 yers old

Canada Day is the national day of Canada. A federal statutory holiday, it celebrates the anniversary of Canadian Confederation which occurred on July 1, 1867, with the passing of the British North ...

Happy Canada Day. Have a good one!

Not daft at all. It's a memory. ( and on a practical level if the hard copy every gets lost or damaged you still have it)

I know Je suis Fred ( again!) My excuse is, I've not been well..... ? ?

Was doing some e mail tiding up earlier, and came across several exchanges with Rob, the vicar who conducted Nik's funeral service last November. Was deleting them, until I saw the one with the final draft/copy of her funeral service. I have kept a hard copy, obvs, but just couldnt delete her online one.

I think many in this thread will understand, even though its pretty daft.

I kept mine too if that helps

Fred update.

He isn't well. "drifting in and out of sleep " so undoutably the right decision not to come. Anyway he wanted to see the garden so I overcame my tech aversion and managed to send him a video of the garden with commentary too.

Now I've started to drink the wine I thought we would drink together and later me and Mrs J will eat his pizza . Heartless aren't we.

Get well soon Fred.

Still feeling pretty crap mate. But I've taken on some fluids and eaten that sandwich. Still drifting.

Not daft at all. I still have my deceased Aunt’s phone number on my mobile and it’s 11 years now.

Maybe I read too much Stephen King.

I actually use Cals phone now. Still programmed with her name. Comforting somehow

Get it completely. That connection will be there always.

I never had a father. Raised by my Mum and my Aunt. Really really happy childhood.

On a down day I really do hear my Aunt’s voice encouraging me. I feel down, go for a walk and I hear her voice narrating the scenery. I walk with my Radio 1 earphones and she points out the birds to me.

Sound mental I know but I miss her voice.

Made it , finally to one of my favourite cities in the world , a bit funky , a bit unsssuming , never underwhelming Newcastle NSW in a little suburb where I’ll be in a tiny Airbnb for 3 nights … oh and the small matter of a long awaited birthday party …. Hmmm I sound like bilbo baggins

I was talking with the missus and said that because of Covid we now have a much lower resistance to any virus even the common cold or influenza so the chances are that is what you have picked up .The symptoms will be stronger because your body is struggling more than it would have before .
Love the phone tit bit Fred but I would have guessed . Stay strong that man .

Also, because I'm quite isolated where I live and don't mix socially a lot, I think I've only had one bout of illness in the last 4 years or so. When I was working I'd pick up 3 or 4 a year easily.

Morning all. I did sleep pretty well last night given I had a lot of dozing during the day yesterday. And first signs this morning are that I don't feel quite as achey as yesterday and the headache isn't half as bad.

I was planning to visit Cal's and my brothers graves today but its a good 2 mile walk so I think I'll put it off until later in the week. I have plenty of down time in the mornings.

Thinking I might pop next door to Dobbies and have a bowl of soup later(my go to when I'm feeling poorly). At least I'm thinking about food which wasn't on my agenda at all yesterday. So hopefully this is just a bout of man flu, just a bit more severe than I'm used to as Blue said.
