Blinking hilarious piece of writing."..good morning on a glorious day at Golden Fields Park for the McGarrett stakes , a Group 1 race over 1 mile
Runners are all in the stalls...
And there off...
And it's bigvaan away first, followed by oohmeleg, Perseverance, bullheaded & scootersdeed.
JJraak last .
3 furlongs out & JJraak switches to the outside, muscles his way past the fading bigvaan & oohmeleg, neck & neck with bulldheaded & perseverance, scootersdeed is a long way back.
those 3 clear of the others, & it's JJraak kicking on, perseverance is holding on grimly , bullheaded slipped back to 3rd ..
but at the line it's ....JJraak who wins the McGarrett stakes.
He was heavily backed down to 5.6 on the track at the off, so someone knew something
his owners will be well pleased with that performance today ..."
Ha Ha ..Still splendid. Was it built in Tuscany quite near that there Pizza outlet?
Beautiful 'coming back' memories..Fully agree on that
Sadly that moment isn't always possible for many reasons.
On a personal note, it felt like my time had come, a while back.
She'd been there before but I was otherwise engaged or unconscious.
But the first time I was awake & she popped through the bedside curtains at the hospital felt like that
And will stay with me forever.
A tune I heard not long after always brings that moment rushing back.
"If the world was ending
And the sky was falling.
I'd hold you tight "...sums it up perfectly ...( Heart )
I know the biscuit one is real, because I bought it...but the other two????Not an April Fools joke then. Yuk - they all sound awful.
That lighthouse had me going bananas...Best wishes for crop protection. Thanks for sharing yet another creative. It is undeniably a lighthouse which despite being somewhat on the squint is still able to be a light in the world, guiding and protecting those in need. I'm sure there is a moral in there somewhere if only I knew where to look.
That is the most beautiful description @AnnbHowever imperfect the lamp holder, the light is still there to guide those in need. Even the best of us humans isn't perfect but there are some pretty impressive lampholders out there.
Who knows...that world out there is a mystery to me...Thanks Dunelm I have not seen that one, will what's app it to my two.
The snow went very quickly and now it's Spring.

Badgers are very fussy about having clean dry bedding, perhaps one of those ginger Toms has been spraying it with potent pee?
Different weights of course - Mrs Miggins’ weighs far more than mineVery quick and tasteful conversion. His and hers kettleballs are a nice touch.
That must have been such a shock @gennepher. No wonder you couldn't write about it until now.Hi @jjraak
The last 40 years I was worried about a possible heart attack as I got older, and the info I gave when questioned by doctors on family health problems included this, and I am on 2 blood pressure medications because my mother died of a heart attack, and it was on her side of the family, and other problems like that.
But I mentioned on here a long while ago, in this thread, and privately to some of you, that I was convinced/thought my Aunty J was my mother. And my cousin, her son, told me on the day of her funeral in the church, he'd grabbed me in the churchyard, and said it was my place to walk behind her coffin into the church (you can imagine my confusion) and that Aunty J, his mother, was also my mother, and he was my brother. He said I deserved that at least, to walk behind her coffin up the aisle, and that he had put my paintings in her coffin that I had given her, and that she had on (in her coffin) a jumper I had knitted especially for her....
So, the mother that brought me up was absolutely no direct relation to me. And the information that I had given doctors over the years, when they asked about my mother's health was absolutely incorrect.
Aunty J, my birth mother, had dementia/Alzheimer's. That was one problem I thought I was never going to have as it wasn't in my direct family that brought me up.
I got proof Aunty J was my birth mother a short while ago, and I was too raw to try and tell you all on here. I broke down every time I started typing. Tears in my eyes now, but I can write about it.
As an aside, just before she died I went to the nursing home to see her. I was warned she recognised no one. But as I sat down next to her, her face lit up into smiles, and broke into recognition of me. "Little ________ (my name)", and her bony wasted hand reached for mine. Then suddenly, as quick as it came, it was gone. She finally had me back, and I have a precious memory. But I didn't know that, until her funeral when my cousin/now brother, told me that she was my birth mother.
So now, I am paranoid about Alzheimer's/dementia.
Thank goodness that your daughter has an answer to her problems at last.She finally has what seems to be an answer for her problems.. She feels very relieved. They've given tablets and B12 tablets to take, but it is very high dose and is turning her pee very yellow. She has to go back in awhile.
It has taken awhile to assimilate and process all this @Krystyna23040That must have been such a shock @gennepher. No wonder you couldn't write about it until now.
It certainly looked like a big weight off her shoulders when I was watching her on Skype @Krystyna23040Thank goodness that your daughter has an answer to her problems at last.
These Art bits are fascinating. I am really liking this series.Good morning everyone from quiet a bright by still chilly start here in the dark and dangerous north. The funicular was closed yesterday when we got into town - very high maintenance these old Victorian contraptions. Never mind. Walked home, so about 4 miles. Art bit - some colour added so on with the next one - quite enjoying these. Have as smashing a day as you can. I am in the middle of a splendid cafeteria of koffy.
