Messymascot's faith in humanity and ginger safe haven

IMG_1442.webpIMG_3021.webpGood morning all. Recent posts just show us how we need to enjoy life while we can and appreciate the good. My back issues seem insignificant in comparison but it remains vulnerable and the physio said I’ve just got to accept it will always be a weakness and adjust accordingly. So I’ve been back to the gym and focussed on cardio, started walking the dogs again but I can’t do the big ones anymore and yesterday I had the pleasure of the company of a young Saluki who was a joy to walk- so full of fun. Dog walking is my therapy. Now knitting winter hats for the impending arrival and the purchase of a Pom Pom maker (who knew ..) has been a game changer.
Working this morning, knitting this aft - rock and roll lifestyle or what .
Have a great day everyone 💙

Dog walking is great exercise also good for just switching off and enjoying being in the open air. Unfortunately Minnie, granddaughter’s dog doesn’t realise this and is in a hurry to get wherever she is going and pulls with the strength of a team of huskies! We hired a dog-walking field the other day and just let her off and watched her go. Poppy on the other hand just had a wander round and decided to sit at the picnic table.IMG_1444.webp

Very sorry to read this. My beloved sister died of the same - her first anniversary on the 4th September.

My thoughts and prayers with Mr Eriksson and his family.

Former England manager Sven-Goran Eriksson has been given a year to live – now he’s telling his story in his own words

Whom the gods would destroy, they first make England football manager. Or that’s how it’s always seemed.

Lovely photos but the dog walking field had me scratching my head until I saw the first photo expanded .Beautiful dogs the two of them .
 

Good morning all on this bright sunny day here .I hope all had a good night and have a better day today .
We finally procured another car with an auto box that we have ( the royal we ) been searching for for months ,it is a Ford Kuga ,yes the same as the two that broke before we drove half a mile ! The deal I got with this one is that it has an MOT for two years , has been looked over by a mechanic and also we took out a repair policy that covers all major components for a year not replaceables like brake pads etc but gearbox engine and that sort of stuff .
Have a great day all COYB

Morning all, it’s blowing a gale here and there are already 3 big trees down in our area. The sound of the wind woke me up just before 6. Stay safe everyone and have a great Friday 💙

Yep very wild in the North West today. Got up at 6am to make breakfast and then retreated back to bed.

Will venture out later to see if any fences or trees are down.

We might wander down to Burscough Wharf later to try the new Nepalese restaurant.

Apart from that a day of housework and watching the Test match beckons.

Have a lovely weekend everyone and just ignore the defeat at Spurs.

Wind has died down and went out to inspect the damage.

Very lucky just a big branch down from the Foxglove tree.

Lovely afternoon now.

Might have some vino in the sun later.

Unfortunately tonight, his wife had just got back from hospital and came over to the pub in tears. He had been fine all day but when she got back home the hospital phoned to say he was going down hill fast. I’d been drinking so I arranged a car to take her back to the hospital but unfortunately he died just before she got there. She phoned to tell me the sad news. She’s coping but in bits. I’m gutted tbh, I always try to make a joke or look at the positive side of life but he was a fabulous friend, with an amazing mind and full of life. I’ll catch up with her tomorrow when I can because of my wife, and then no doubt help with all the stuff associated with dealing with this. I’ve told the manager of our pub to go to any lengths and cost to ensure that she is looked after when she comes in and to deliver a wake worthy of a great man…..
