Lovely young men abounded whenever mum tripped and fell on her way to/from the shops in her last years. Lifts home, to shops, (once in a top down sport car!), making sure she was okay, getting her into chair at home with cuppa......Nothing too much trouble!
In the end mum had to be persuaded to take the bus even if it was only two stops... Free with bus pass..... She only gave up shopping at 100
well done @maggie6445 mines gone to his shed. peace for five minutes like the book i read to the children, jill murphy i think with elephant on the front
M and S do a virtually no alcohol Bucks Fizz. Cheap, cheerful, relaxing and looks poshly naughty!
At lunchtime today I was feeding my OH. Today's menu was home made veg & bean soup & a cheese roll, before cherries and custard, whilst watch the tennis from Wimbledon,
All going Ok, until there was some down the line winning shot to which my OH reacted by pointing to the screen and knocking the spoon of soup onto her tea towel "bib"
She immediately looked at me and disparagingly said "Not very good at this, are you!"
As on Monty Python with the Spanish Inquisition one always has to expect the unexpected!
Back to the tennis, and she says "Is it what your weekly tennis is like"
"Well we don't get crowds"
"Do you sell tickets?"
"No"
"Well what d'you expect!"
I had to laugh at the idea of people wanting to watch me and my old codger friends trying to play tennis in the village rec.!
That I think is longest ordinary words conversation we've had in many many a month.

Mmm ... Takes you by surprise doesn't it when they say something you can follow.
My OH names nothing ,no one ,nowhere so it becomes a jumble of they,it, that, there . I usually just nod and hope it's the right response🤣 I've given up asking questions or asking give me a clue. I never win 🤣
We have just finished dinner. It was nothing very special but it was tasty and enjoyable. At some point I mentioned Christmas and we started remembering previous Christmas's ( at least I did). When we finished dinner OH claimed it was a lovely Christmas dinner and it had been one of the best Christmas's we had ever had. He even raised his cup of tea and wished me Merry Christmas.
So, Merry Christmas everyone.
So, Merry Christmas everyone.
And a Merry Christmas to both of you!
Not quite in the same strand but my local pharmacy have sent me the offer to have my flu jab!

My OH Looooooooves Christmas. (So did his mum) OH has worked as a DJ and on radio. His Christmas Drive Time show season always started and ended with Driving Home for Christmas (Chris Rea) so he could start each season with "welcome back, now where were we.....". He'll probably have this at his funeral. Enjoy.
