Good Morning Early Birds!

[waterboatman]

Wednesday. Well, the rain has stopped for a while. Still some cloud about though. The wind still making it's presence known. At least the rain gave the car a wash, so it's not all bad! :o}

Tiggy is still out and about in the garden, I heard him rootling about a wee while ago. Lots of slugs and snails for him to sort out.

I can do some out and about I didn't do yesterday because of the rain.

Have a happy day everyone.

Morning Boaty, at 4:30 am here, perfect, then the wind arrived, blowing from a penguins bum, no, not fishy smelling, just damn cold.

Hope all is well oop there.

[waterboatman]

G'day oz. Nice to see you mate. :o}

It's still a bit nippy here too. How's the rescue and repair going?

[waterboatman]

Yes. All well here...at the moment anyway! ;o}

[zebo]

Morning all, definitely a bit blowy here in Norfolk, garden chairs are all over the place and it feels chilly. I might even open the door to check outside when I feel braver!

[waterboatman]

Morning zebo xxx Go on, be intrepid! :o}

How are you this morning?

[1ozzy]

Dad has a strong heart, won't stop beating.
He can hear but can't respond, body has physically stopped working.

Mum is coping in a way, had accepted the situation but now things are dragging on is suffering.
I'll be on my way soon, time to feed us both then back to the hospice.

Thanks to yourself and all the others that have shown support.

Bye for now.

[waterboatman]

Thanks for the update mate. I'm thinking of you and your family every day. Life can be a fair cow mate.

[waterboatman]

Give your mum a hug for me oz.

Morning, everyone. A quick hi before I try to grab a couple more hours sleep. Still windy here, but not as bad as yesterday. My car was blasted with sand and salt from the sea spray. One of the probs of living by the beach.

Best wishes, 1ozzy and to your family. It's tough, I know.

[waterboatman]

Morning jo xxx My car is all nice and clean now! Rain does sometimes have an advantage. :o}

[waterboatman]

Just remembered something.

Back in a bit.

[zebo]

I'll have to brave the outdoors later or we'll go hungry for the next week, Wednesday is Morrison's etc day, beat the Thursday zimmer frames. Best wishes to you and your family 1ozzy, I remember the relentless trips to the Hospice when Mum was ill, a depressing thing but I was in awe of the cheerful staff there.

Dave xx

PS - best wishes 1ozzy - terrible situation - thinking of you

[waterboatman]

Morning dave. Are you off to the Emerald Isle?

[waterboatman]

zebo, Longfield hospice di a wonderful job of looking after my Vera, and,, indeed, me. They do not have a residential unit, but they do Hospice at Home, a dedicated nurse, matched to the family, will visit everyday, even stay overnight if required, so the patient can end their life at home with their loved ones. It works very well. I am now an ambassador and volunteer for the hospice. They are remarkable people doing a wonderful job. The hospice itself is set in beautiful grounds with wonderful views across the Golden Valley. It's such a happy and peaceful place. I love being there.

[paddywak]

Good morning everybody.

[waterboatman]

[sunny-dave]

[waterboatman]

The sun does shine on Ireland Dave. ;o} Where are you heading for?
