Messymascot's faith in humanity and ginger safe haven


Good afternoon one and all, beautiful, sunny day up here, I've actually been out tidying the garden for a couple of hours.
Glad to see there are so many Sparks fans out there.
I will be back out and about as normal tomorrow now feeling 100%.
Having a clear out of the garage and a trip to the tip tomorrow.
Hope you all have a great day whatever you are doing.
 
Good afternoon all. Having calmed down about both the penalty travesty and £10 to park I am much more objective today. There's real improvement under Lampard. It can be seen, they work harder, they seem to try harder. I've never seen Iwobi track back and fight to get the ball like he did yesterday. If we keep putting in that much effort I think we'll be OK.

Have just got back - we had to leave a bit earlier than usual because daughter is cat sitting for a friend and needed to be back before her friend left. Had a lovely time. As well as my Dad and brother managed to catch up with my three nephews and also my great niece who has just turned one and is an absolute joy. My Dad looks OK, he made us a chicken curry ( he includes pineapple in it) and the swearing at the telly when the match was on mde me think he's feeling alright about himself.

Incidentally re the airport parking - had we not been staying at the hotel the going rate is £42 for an overnight! It is outrageous. We are ripped off constantly by greedy companies.

@Barnfred 55 How can you not be a fan of Bruce. He is amazing live, politically sound, writes songs that make you think "How does he know?" I swear he wrote "Dancing In The Dark" by looking into my head at that time lol I have the lyrics framed in bathroom! I'm trying to create a music theme in there - the other other two items are a signed tour poster of the Boomtown Rats and an autographed cover of OMD's Electricity ( signed by Paul Humphries) I've also got an autographed pic of Steven Tyler to go in there - which randomly came through the post the other day as a thank you for supporting his Janie's Fund.

@Sassy Colombian I can fully understand your husband's Grandma's feelings. I think when you get to a certain age you make your peace with life/God and think "I'm ready to go" I'm sure my Dad has done that - he's 85 in August and I know he thinks , how much longer have I really got. His Catholic faith is very strong and he wants to be with Mum. That doesn't stop him living the best life he can at the moment but there's no fear, no worry about passing on.

@Terrarian Daisy sounds exactly like my kids when they were little - selective deafness!
 

Good morning everyone.

Another night of rough sleeping for me. Fresca keeps bumping against everything at night and keeps waking me up. Today we are supposed to get the new outfit from Amazon since the one we purchased locally didn’t fit her right. We will be driving to Charlotte today to visit my husband’s family. His grandma is at the hospital, she needs a bypass but at 97 she has refused to get one so this condition could deteriorate her heart and she could go sometime soon. Which to be honest I hope it happens soon. She has been very unhappy since she was put in a nursing home just before the pandemic. Then Covid began and she has been living almost in isolation from the family during this time and it has taken a toll on her. She wishes to leave this earth and has no desire to live any longer. So as much as I treasure life, I also understand her feelings.

Very rainy day for us today but we have been getting gorgeous weather for days so I can’t complain about the wetness. Plants and animals need their water too.

Have a beautiful Sunday everyone. And may my new underdog hurling teams win today :)
Sorry to hear about Grandma-in -law but I can understand her feelings. In a way I am glad my Mum passed away before all this happened. She was such an affectionate and loving person. She would even kiss the medical staff who were caring for her! Being unable to kiss and cuddle her family would have absolutely killed her, so I am glad we were able to give her this in her final days.

Good to hear you are 100% again.
