Messymascot's faith in humanity and ginger safe haven


There is always something quite sinister about an ostrich I find. Probably the fact that it is the same height and could have your eye out in a second.
There's a bird called a shoebill that looks absolutely terrifying. If you don't believe birds evolved from dinosaurs, that will change your mind. Here's a pic of oneScreenshot_20250120_195925_Google.webp

Hi everybody. How's it going? @Barnfred 55 's safari pictures are brilliant. Love them.
Today has been pretty quiet. Working hard and trying to avoid Trump's inauguration as well as keeping my blood pressure under control by not letting the eejit who said working from home isn't real work, get to me. Come and do my job for a few days mate!!
Apart from that, not a lot to tell you. We are heading off to Nottingham tomorrow for our spa day on Wednesday. I'm looking forward to it. I've chosen to have a back and shoulder massage as my included treatment. My posture from the aforementioned not a real job working from home, is shocking so I could do with getting all the knots and tension out.
What a difference a win makes. Its silly how Everton can affect your mood so much. I try not to let it but it feels so much better on a Monday with a weekend win.
Have a nice night all x
 

Hi all, sorry I’ve been missing but I’ve spent the last few nights looking at my wife and basically spending hours in tears just looking at her and thinking of how we were just over two years ago. I know that others have been through rough times, and certainly my friends have, but this pain is never ending. Every day is the same for her and myself. She has recovered from her time in hospital so all good there, but when I look at my beautiful and intelligent wife and see her how she is now it cracks me up. I know that many others are going through the same thing and I really feel for them. Anyway I’m going to try to sleep, god only knows what my dreams will be about but a bit of peace would be welcome…..sorry to be a bit of a misery, I’ll be fine in a day or two…..

Pete. No need for apologies in here mate. What you are doing for Kay is amazing and not many have that in them. It's only natural that it takes It's toll and you have .moments like this.

I don't lnow what to say to you Pete. It must be so hard for you emotionally and physically. Could you get some help - one of your children maybe to look after Kay for a night so you could get a full night's sleep? Other than that , you are taking such good care of your lovely wife. Hugs x
 
Good morning all on this fine day here .I hope all are well and had a good night. I breaks my heart when I see that it is a hard time for you @peteblue .They say that the person with alzeimer's doesn't have all the pain and that the more you love someone who is suffering from this terrible terrible ilness the worse it affects you .
So yes you will be broken hearted Pete , all we can offer is a friendly ear and a chat whenever .It is the saddest state to be in and although there has been a lot in my family I never had the intensity of living full time with my Nan, my uncle or aunt . There is help and a solution somewhere for you so stay strong and talk to the people who cared for Kay . I know that that isn't the real pain ,it is the loss of your beautiful intelligent best friend that cannot be replaced and the pain of watching her suffer .As I have said I know she is aware of your love for her and the care you are giving now ,she would tell you if she could .

No need to apologise. Your love and devotion shine through. Tears are a release so don’t be afraid to let them flow. I wish there was more I could say and do, my heart goes out to you. 💙

I can only echo what the others have said, what you are going through must be unbearable and I have nothing but respect and admiration for you💙

Oh Pete I am so sorry for what you are going through. I truly don't know where you get the strength and patience. You are a good man.
