Messymascot's faith in humanity and ginger safe haven

Afternoon everyone, hope alls well today. Good to see @jazzy is getting back into the swing of things, and @blueloon ’s cats are thriving. @peteblue , your devotion to your wife is so touching, I can only imagine what you are going through and you are such a strong person for your friends as well- a remarkable person indeed.
We also started to binge watch Jackal, only to find last night that last two episodes aren’t yet available. I was very sceptical at first - Edward Fox was the type of person I imagined the Jackal to be when I read the book years ago and I couldn’t see how Eddie Redmayne could match it. I always prefer to read a book before I see the film. However once I’d got over my preoccupation with the original film I found myself hooked in. I must say it’s made me want to watch the original again, and I wonder how true to it the ending of this series will be.
Had a nice day yesterday- unfortunately my son and wife have a very nasty stomach bug so we locked them away in our spare room to carry on being sick and took charge of the baby! It was wonderful- we took her to see the horses and met lots of people in the village, danced to some Nat king Cole together and played on the sensory mat. Just kept nipping her upstairs for her feeds and to check on the kids.
Everton on this afternoon- I will watch it but I’m back to never feeling optimistic again. It’s a 🎢.
Have a lovely weekend all💙

Shame that your son and DIL are ill, sounds as though you made the most of the opportunity to take care of the baby - every cloud….. :lol: Hope they both feel better soon.💙
 
Good evening all. Just catching up. Sorry to hear about your son and his wife being ill @Val P . However extra baby time is a bonus. 🤣 Well done on the wins @jazzy . Good to hear you had a good chat to your son @blue1948 Pleased Bessie is doing OK @blueloon. Enjoy the sleepover @Gwladysover. And @peteblue , you remain an inspiration - it must be so sad for you . Sending much love.
Today I did overtime. After that I went swimming. It is possibly the only sport I like doing and, more importantly, I am actually competent at. I've treated myself to a membership at Bannatynes and today was my first visit. I swam 20 lengths, had a go in the hot tub and then the steam room. I always feel good after going swimming but I am absolutely worn out!. Big news is that tomorrow, after 4 years , Charlotte is meeting her boyfriend's Mum. They are telling her about the baby. Boyfriend is ex Forces ( served in Afghanistan) so they are all going to a Remembrance Day event.
Chris is OK. The side effects seem to be under control. He's still itchy but nowhere near as bad. He had a scan today. Hopefully that will be fine - no reason for it not to be.
Have a lovely evening x

Good luck to Charlotte and hope their news is met with the reaction it deserves and good luck to Chris too 💙
 
Evening all, family feeling a bit better today thank goodness - a bag of prepared salad they had on Thursday is the main suspect, which I’m glad about as hopefully the baby has got away with catching it.
Had to watch the original film The Day of the Jackal tonight from 1973. It’s amazing how far film has progressed but it was still a good watch and good to see the nods to the original that the new series has. Looking forward to seeing the end of the new series now.

Just got back from West Ham , I reckon I watch about 50 games a season EFC , Prescot Cables , ground hopping and that was one of the most boring, pointless 90 minutes I’ve ever wasted.

It was dire wasn’t it, all that way for that rubbish too 🙁. I just wonder what Beto has to do to get a start, and even he isn’t setting the world on fire.

We all know Val that there’s 3 domestic trophies available every season and there’s maybe 5/6 teams that stand a chance of winning them. But we should be planning to be one of those 5/6 in the future rather then just surviving, I bumped into a bloke today I first met on the way to Nuremberg, how we’ve fallen since then.
