It is fine and warm in bonnie Kintyre. Good afternoon to our lovely Kitcheners
Our pal who now resides in the care home, was confined to his bed today. Although he tried not to be negative, we could feel his frustration. He feels "incarcerated" he feels "forgotten" and he feels like exploding with expletives because he cannot visualise a time when he will have recovered well enough to be able to go home. He is, at heart, a cheerful soul. He counts his blessings and is a pleasure to visit. We both feel sad on his behalf. If he and his wife had a larger home and could accommodate the various contraptions necessary for moving him from A to B...and...if they could afford a full-time carer to live in with them, then that would be ideal. All the wishing in the world isn't going to change the status quo.
Alea My father liked Sir Harry and that particular song. It certainly lifts the spirits.
Our grandson, Will, is 24 today. Here is a photo of him when he was a wee lad. At the time he had hurt himself and was feeling in need of a granny cuddle.
