Thanks Debs.
This post had my emotions all over the place. How lovely you were to Big Ernie. I bet he really loved the chats. And the sorry turn of events that had led him to that bench made me sad. Many veterans on our streets still. Sad to hear that you yourself found yourself homeless and at such a young age. Having to break into a house to get some shelter. How lucky you hitchhiked with someone who cared about your wellbeing. It could have been a whole different story! Then the hostel which must have had it's own challenges. You have seen some very tough times and from such a young age. You left home no doubt not because you wanted to but because you felt you needed to. And through all this you have kept the most wonderful sense of humour. Thank you for sharing.
What a lovely cosy photoEvery cloud has a silver lining, although we’ve no central heating until the gas is delivered, Mr C is gradually clearing the shed and has made a cosy fire in the woodburner with a lot of the burnable wood. View attachment 37113
@gennepher your story of being homeless at 17 really stopped me in my tracks. I’m ashamed to say I’ve often hurried past homeless people, wrapped up in my own world and minor troubles, but I will endeavour never to do that again.
Watch out for those so called festive treats - they snap and bite5.3 today
Day 2 of antibiotics, still coughing like mad but I ate 3 small meals yesterday so no further weight loss. Happy days.
Today I have an xmas event. As a member of my PPG I've been invited to the Fylde Coast CCG Chairs' reception. It will be a great opportunity to network I feel. Dreading the quiz bit!
This afternoon I have to take my BIL to an appointment. This evening I want to start my tax return. Don't want to leave it any later as grandchild no. 2 due around 3rd Jan. Exciting times ahead. And I don't mean the tax return!
I will say, you do have to think of your own safety too. I always keep change in a jeans pocket or jacket pocket. I never open my bag or bum bag which could show any passer by that I have paper/plastic money, because that could make me vulnerable. Unless I have change in my pocket, I don't give.
Just thought I would say this.
A big welcome home to Charlie and Lola and they are going to have a wonderful life with you of that I am certain. They are so cute, more photos please.Charlie & Lola have arrived home...the first photo of their tenure with us...still in the basket so not a brilliant one but as I'm typing I can hear them bounding around in 'their room' more to follow as & when thy settle in Charlie was busy chewing the toy catnip mouse I put in with them for the journey home & wasnt interested in posing for the camers

It's difficult to get a good photo of them gennepher since they've arrived they have played non-stop & ate...waiting for them to go for a little sleep...good to have cats in the house again.They look beautiful!
You would have thought that someone would have thought that this was inappropriate. Does it make you feel as though you are banging your head against a brick wall.My CCG meeting was as expected. Coffee, tea and CAKES
What lovely little kittens. How nice that they are at the start of their lovely life with you.Charlie & Lola have arrived home...the first photo of their tenure with us...still in the basket so not a brilliant one but as I'm typing I can hear them bounding around in 'their room' more to follow as & when thy settle in Charlie was busy chewing the toy catnip mouse I put in with them for the journey home & wasnt interested in posing for the camers

Should have been V 1 and 2 but hey ho@HarryBeau Welcome, Charlie and Lola! ^. .^. .^
@ianpspurs I see your v. 2 and praise Him v. 3. Hugs.
@mojo37 your anticipatory post made me happy. Have a wonderful month, you two!
@gennepher thank you for the tip. I have been wondering what to do with the heavy quarters and pennies that have been weighing down my wallet -- you have given me a very good idea, and my winter jacket has plenty of pockets I can zip and unzip at need.
Hugs to @Muddy Cyclist and MIL and Mrs MC, and to @jjraak and nephew and family.
FBG 7.8 for me on this rainy morning.

I do hope all goes well for you, Mrs MC and MIL at the hospital today.Good Morning and a 5.4 for me and that's after eating too much 90% chocolate last night. I'm going to blame certain people on this forum for all that talk of the stuff
Another day of uncertainty for Mrs MC and I at the hospital with MIL,
It is very still here I suspect a storm is brewing, take care one and all.
I do hope that the antibiotics get rid of the coughing soon. It's rotten when you feel I'll.Day 2 of antibiotics, still coughing like mad but I ate 3 small meals yesterday so no further weight loss. Happy days.
