Just in on my Twitter feed...”Cape Town and Beyond”

Some stunning pics in that and I love the way the author wrote that.

So was the talk good? Dinner with hubby especially if it is out is always very good.

It was very good. Michael Palin and David Schneider are very funny and it was sort of a conversation between them about writing comedy. They finished taking questions from the floor.

 

[JoesMum]

Good morning all. I am just off for a swim. Not see you later

 

[CarolM]

@Moozillion and all that like it my singing:
My newest "production"

Absolutely beautiful as always. I love your singing and you should never stop.

and the original
Sam Cook "Cupid"

Yours was an excellent rendition of this one. Well done.

@CarolM

These are all pics I’ve taken this hour.. I think I’ve got everyone)

I love this picture. And you sure do have a lot of critters. They are all gorgeous by the way.

What a beautiful building!
Our modern stations are not a patch on the old ones.
This is Newport........ugly!

Oh I don't know, If all the other building looked like that around it, it would look quite beautiful. It is a very futuristic station.

@CarolM
I'm doing ok. Starting to have some seasonal depression issues starting. But I'm trying to combat it.

Thanks for asking.

Glad that you are doing okay. Not good on the depression though. Just remember we are here for you if you need to chat.

Hey all how has everyone been? No @CarolM I'm not frozen but good to know I'd have rescuers should the situation present itself lol. I haven't been able to be on here much lately, I've been working 12hr days and the situation with my father has been a nightmare! He is currently back in the hospital do to a vitamin/auto deficiency caused by lack of nutrition because the rehab facility he was sent to failed to help him eat, and also neglected to perform the therapy he was sent there for. I have filed complaints with the state and a Medicare/VA fraud investigation is now going on. He is worse now then when he was sent there 45 days ago now I can't find another rehab to accept him because the first one used up all his benefits. They even started taking his social security checks without my knowledge! Long story short today I had to retain a lawyer and a lawsuit is pending. So my life has been a little hectic lately. I hope everyone in the CDR is doing well though, and their torts are happy and healthy! Here is a pic of Murphy earlier today. This is his "I'm taking a poop face"!View attachment 251439

Murphy's taking a poop face looks very serious.
I am so sorry that that has all happened to your father. I hate it when people take advantage of those in trouble. What that place did is unacceptable and I hope that they get the book thrown at them and that they are made to pay. Although all of that does not help your father at all right now. I am sending good vibes your way and I hope that he can recover quickly. Thinking of you !!

 

[CarolM]

Do you think they might volunteer to pay for the tuning? Play, daughter, play louder! [emoji85][emoji23][emoji23][emoji23]

Nice to know. Thank you.

You are definitly one of those people who will have gone to the grave having lived life to the fullest. I love reading about your adventures.

 

[CarolM]

Good Morning Everyone,

I did not manage to come back here yesterday. And it has taken a good hour and a half to catch up. LOVE IT.

It is always good when we get a little bit busy. I hope everyone has an awesome Friday. And I that those of you who are struggeling get some relief and that things go much better for you all.

Not see you all later.

 

[JoesMum]

It’s done! My operation is cancelled. [emoji322][emoji4][emoji4][emoji4]

I have to go back if things deteriorate, but otherwise it is up to me to keep up with the exercise and swimming to keep my shoulder moving.

I am not free of pain, but I am not in agony either and the range of movement has improved to the point where getting dressed isn’t anything like the problem it was. At one stage I couldn’t do up my bra and I had to wear cardigans because I couldn’t put a jumper on over my head.

Now we can't see them for the light pollution in our towns and cities!
(...........as well as the clouds!)

No light pollution where I am living. I can see a million stars at night when it is not cloudy.

Good news. Yaaaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy ! I feel happy for you !
Swimming is fine for the whole body.

 

[Bee62]

Me to Sabine! They’re my life therapy

I can understand you. It is the same with me. My pets are better than any psychiatrist or physiotherapist for me

 

[Bee62]

That's GREAT!!!!!

You sound like maybe you sing alto? Middle range?

I used to have a very high voice- in my 20s I sang first soprano (the highest) but not anymore! I haven't sung much for almost 40 years, and my voice has definitely gotten lower.
Bee, the way you look when you sing reminds me how much I used to enjoy singing before I got distracted by boring things like a job!
Maybe I will think about taking lessons again and we can have a duet!
You are an inspiration!

Oh Bea, thank you soooooo much. You are right, I have a more alto voice than a high voice. And yes, I love to sing and singing brings me much fun and joy everytime. I am sure that I will never stop to sing.
I never took any lessons and I cannot read a single note. I think I have a natural sense for tunes and melodies.
It would be great singing a duett with you !

Oh Todd, that sounds all horrible with your dad. I am sorry for you. Your daddy can`t never live alone again from what you are telling. Hopefully you can find a good rest home for him, where they not only take his money and let him alone. It is really a shame what they have done with him. That you have to take a lawyer to fight for his and your rights is the biggest shame of all. I wish you good luck and thank you for the update. I hope in the end all goes well for you and your dad and you have time to come back more often to the CDR.
