Messymascot's faith in humanity and ginger safe haven

Good afternoon all. I hope you all OK. Lovely to hear from you @Terrarian . How's gorgeous Daisy dog?
Today has a very autumnal feel to it. Not warm at all. Mr F and I are planning to go for a walk along the beach at Redcar tomorrow - I hope the weather improves.
Today has mostly been sorting stuff out for the hols on Friday. I've got some Euros, had my nails done, bought some toiletries so all we need to do is pack.
I haven't seen many bees or wasps either but we have had lots of butterflies in the garden - probably because the field next door is massively overgrown and there are loads of wild flowers and brambles that they seem to like.
Mr F has been watching Newcastle so we've just followed on and are watching the rs. Once again, a reverential silence observed by the Sky commentators while that dirge plays. They talk, or cut to adverts, for every other team's entrance. Makes my blood boil!
My brother messaged me last night to say he had been talking to someone who works for Everton. Apparently Dyche has lost the plot, is on the ale all the time. No idea if that is true or not but I can't say I blame him. They would drive anybody to drink!
Im going to make a Thai red pork curry tonight for me and Mr F. Looking forward to it already.
 

Hi everyone, hope you're not too disheartened about the football.

I'm trying to get myself back into the swing of posting but it's not happening at the minute. Feeling stressed a lot still, just trying to keep my mental health above the parapet.

Take care guys and enjoy the bank holiday.
Great to hear from you T but yeah just ignore the football
 

I don’t want this to be a sad post. I have referenced it before a young lad from our club we were fundraising for his treatment. Raised over £300k for him to go to Germany.

His journey came to an end on Friday and we bury him tomorrow. I hit the drink then but amongst mates. Still hitting it.

In the run up to the All Ireland final, his Dad spoke to the team and his talk to them has been referenced by quite a few of lads. Our manager has said that he would have been part of the team had life not dealt him an awful blow. He still got Sam Maguire on his knee and celebrated like we all did and still are

Absolutely blessed to have known the lad.

Sometimes life really is crap towards those that deserve better…..

So sorry for your loss mate, one absolute gobsh*** of a disease!

Clearly the lad was loved and I've no doubt you'll give him the send off he deserves.

To add, because I missed the point of what I was trying to convey. I saw fundraising for Caolan personally in Monaghan; Cork; Carlow; Derry; Sligo and Dublin at the games. Then the wider GAA community got involved and it became a social media thing of high profile Gael’s sending video messages to him. All of a sudden our town became a country wide support base of good wishes, prayers and donations towards treatment. That makes you reflect on the good around you and all you have to do is ask for help if you need it.
