Messymascot's faith in humanity and ginger safe haven

Joined the local golf club (social member, don't play now) Our new apartment overlooks the 7th green. It's only a smallish club but I got a very warm welcome and will be using their facilities for lunch, pint etc., Things going fairly well but her indoors is spending most time in bed. If I go out we have emergency contact systems in place and I am never that far away. Daughter no. 1 spent all day with us yesterday and worked like a Trojan. We are very fortunate that all our kids are brilliant, love them to bits.

Been quite stormy down here this morning, to the extent that garden furniture and some plant pots blown over. Seems calm now and the rain has stopped. Forecast for it to brighten up this afternoon and evening so not all bad. I think the farmers will be happy we've had some rain as the forecast for the rest of the week and into the weekend is for fine warm weather, but not as hot as elsewhere in the country.

Had the neighbour's son, Peter, around for drinks and some tea last night and enjoyed myself. Hosting and entertaining was a big part of our lives and it's nice to know i can still do it. He was here from 4 until 8 and the time went very quickly. 4 hours is unprecedented with Peter so I think he must have enjoyed himself too. Found out I had even less in common with him than I even thought. As I've already mentioned, he has zero interest in sport of any kind and is a bit of a loner. I've now found out he rarely watches TV, likewise with films although his favourite films are Harry Potter and The Marvel series, and his taste in music is Britney, Lady Gaga, Katy Perry, Taylor Swift and somebody called Sia. So much for me putting on a playlist I thought he'd like. A noughties one which included artists like Red Hot Chilli Peppers, Linkin Park, The Killers, The Zutons, Snow Patrol and the like. I have quite an extensive music taste so I can put together a playlist he'll enjoy next time he comes around. On that note, I needn't have worried about his culinary tastes, which his parents told me was very limited. He quickly finished off what I dished up last night (duck spring rolls followed by Thai chicken curry) and I didn't hold back on the spice levels either. I also found out that he loves Chinese fried rice and got a commitment to do this again next time his sister is away later this month.

Despite having very little in common we seem to enjoy each other's company so there's something to work on. He seems much more relaxed when his parents are away too.

Hope everybody has a good day today and we get a good result tonight. I will continue my vigil of abstaining from the game completely, and will enquire in here only after I know the game is over. The sacrifices I make lol

Hope you don't suffer any further delays at the airport Jazz and you enjoy excellent weather in Skiathos.

Really pleased you had a good night. Sounds like he enjoyed your company. You might be opening a whole new world to him. Everton included!
 
Hello all. Greetings from a sunny but breezy Liverpool. Just been to see Dad
He looked better than when I last saw him and he has restarted dialysis. Possibility he could be home at the weekend so I'm not sure how long I'll be here for. I feel like I've gone on holiday I packed that much stuff! Dad is on the 6th floor of The Royal. You can see the big stand at Anfield from his room. Fancy being poorly and having to look at that as well!

Apparently you can see it from the moon too. Enough to put you off space travel.

Thanks but she calls me. She lives in a care home (she’s 96) and doesn’t have access to a phone all the time so she rings when she is able. She emigrated in the early 60’s and still has her Peterborough accent conversely my other aunt (who passed away last year) spoke with a broad Canadian accent.

Glad to hear your Dad is looking better, fingers crossed he continues to improve and he’ll be home soon. Shame about the view - a real incentive to get better. lol

Ha ha. I didn't know there was a Peterborough accent.

Those are fantastic news about your dad, nothing like going home after being at the hospital. May he continue improving ??
