A very people day, so am totally cream crakcered and expect not a lot tomorrow. but good.
Saw my F/friend for a couple of hours, it’s my first visit, it went well, tho her situation is very, very difficult. Mentally ill, and demanding husband of 90 who wont accept help (she has got out as she couldn’t physically cope), and demanding MH ill DD how frankly is outrageous -threatening suicide if Mum doesnt do, x,y,z - these are possible personality, disorders I suspect, they don’t fit into normal categories.
She can’t stay no enough, but is as she is, tho she knows she needs to. We enjoy each others company
We will attempt outings when she is up to it, she never gets out except when her son comes from the Netherlands. She’s only 78, but very badly affected by RA, can't do technology.
But she said at the end that life was just endurance. Well we can have treats: I can only support any moves to “say no” she makes. Not to mention trying to help her get pension credit.
I did a lot of sauna and swum. Lots of fun chat. The interesting chats with a couple of very outgoing women the sauna on aspects of men encountered in the past. (We had all at some time in our lives been asked by men for sex for money somewhat unexpectedly)
It silenced the usually dominant male chat. 🤣 I wonder why.
And the pool clear enough my backstroke was possible.
And I bumped into someone at the end whom I want to meet up with now and then.
I saw my nice NDN neighbour at a bus stop on my way home, quite some way away, and she was delighted to get the lift..she's heading for the sun and sea in Croatia next week with a friend. (green emoji)
I was so tired I slept 3 hours and still pretty out of it. So many people today, I havent taken it in yet. My mindisnty at peace, but ifs been mealy a moving forward MrA day, those we are currently fixing up the 4 way Zoom meetings on the issue.
I just can believe you have a GD1 of that age, Scaredycat. It is not possible. You aren’t a lot older than me. Roll on the 19th. Yes, it’s lovely to have them local. It never bothered me so much until I couldn’t travel and visit any more or rarely. My thing about coping with travel. Great photo challenges there, quite intriguing.
One of the nice things about Ex was we went all over the place as he was confident…
…. One of the tricky things was that because of that, I didn’t try to do it alone and got dependent, tho energy permitting I will drive to Ds and I will once I get the resources go to my fave holiday hotel on the N Yorks coast.
I agree HVDY Hmm. Wise decision not to in from Mr Across The Road about the Squirrels! That was an early get up.
I hope this isn’t the new normal either Sweetpeasue. What a simply lovely chance encounter with that young man. Isn’t that good for the future 🙂. Sorry for the broken night, and I’m glad you got back to sleep. I see what you mean about a little book group being more comfy, and agree. Oh, what a lovely crystal bird, I hope it will make patterns from the sun.
You know, you really don’t eat a lot, Doodle. Do you walk much, or only now and then?
I only say this as exercise improves your metabolism, ie makes it work better burning the calories you do have. As we age our metabolism slows significantly (and it varies between people). But that wine really isnt that great, neither is lot of calories neither is just 2 squares of dark choc.
I didnt know all that about the heart things you said, just vague recall.
Given the temptations at the garden centre it may be just as well you dont have a garden!
It is so nice to see you in, nadateturbe. I’m glad to hear of a slightly better day…next time go and have a coffee out instead of the housework! Xxxx hugs.
