Hi Bea

You have had an awful lot to deal with over the last few weeks. I’m so sorry about your father. Fractures are a huge problem for the elderly :(

Hopefully, Jacques can remove herself permanently from the list of worries soon.

Remember to look after yourself too!

Postcard from your tea room or I shall be accusing you of self neglect ;)

[emoji38][emoji38][emoji106] Will do!

Hi, Roomies!
I know I haven’t been around much the last day or so. Work has been unusually busy. Plus my 93 year old father fell and broke his hip Monday and had surgery yesterday. Although we’re concerned about him of course, he has had dementia for 15 years. He often doesn’t recognize us and has recently required a change in medication because he was getting hostile with his caregivers. God bless my sister who watches over him!!!!
Hi Bea. It is not easy when parents get old and sick. We all understand you and what you are going through.
Glad to have you here whenever you have time.:)

Well done. It is hard work paying off the mortgage. We started on the mortgage payments in 1988 and paid ours off a few years ago. It was such a relief that the house was finally all ours. And so when JoesDad was made redundant 12 months ago we didn’t have to worry. We had enough money to pay the bills.



Dan, your calculations look complex, but as you are someone who has studied more advanced Maths than most I am not surprised. I use algebraic Maths pretty regularly to work stuff out. Once you have the skills, why not? :D
Thank you Linda. It is always said that you have more money at your retirement when you own a house. Maybe that`s right but with a house you often have to do repairs that could be expensive, Hmmmm.....

I know. :( I’m just in denial.
The first days after he was gone, I was dreaming almost every night that I go on the forum and see @Tidgy’s Dad in my alerts. I was so happy in my dreams that he changed his mind...
But I also understand that he may have other things to do apart from participating in the silliness of the CDR.
I am thinking similiar like you. I can understand you very well. I miss him too.:(

Good day fellow roomies.

Things got a bit complex here with the local paper publishing a story about my governor school that was pure scaremongering. :( Thankfully the parents are amazing and have supported the school 100% on social media, even pulling the paper apart for its typos and inaccurate spelling.

It has been hard to relax at yoga still as you can't help worrying about reputational damage.

Yes, he has a fantastic new family. He didn’t used to let anyone, except me, even touch him. Now we see pictures where he lies on the new dad’s chest or makes a nest in the new mom’s laundry. :D I couldn’t be but happy. And a little sad.
That are good news. A stray cat in Turkey is a very poor cat I think. It is sad that you lost him but knowing that he is well is comforting, isn`t it ?

Oh. What Carol said - would it be possible/feasible to transfer your greenhouse there, if it comes to that? Thank goodness Clunker is still portable, right? :D
The greenhouse itself will probably stay here. Yes Clunker is still a nice small size.. my dogs came to Washington from Texas in a horse trailer [emoji12]

Oh dear. We are very lucky at our surgery that we can simply call up at 8am for urgent appointments and be added to the list.

Other surgeries are not so good. My daughter struggles to see the doctor like you.

It sounds like you might be needing a course of antibiotics. :( I hope you manage to see the doctor soon.

Antibiotics it is. :( At least I was able to see the doctor — you really don’t always have the luxury here.

Oh no. This is really annoying. Happened to my daughter’s kindergarten in Turkey — baseless allegations from dissatisfied teachers who were offered a better contact in a newly opened competitor. We supported our kindergarten all the way but not all the parents had enough critical thinking skills to tell the truth from the rumors and see the ulterior motives behind the stories. :( Hugs, Linda!

This isn't from anybody inside the school. It's a third party "education adviser" who has never been to the school who has started this. I have no idea what his agenda is.

That is very comforting, I agree. There are too many stray cats in Turkey. Most people don’t intentionally hurt them (although there are plenty of bad apples of course), but life on the street can’t be easy for anyone.

Hello everyone! Still raining here, so I'm trying to talk myself into doing some much needed housework.

Alternatively you could be incredibly busy on TFO. It’s extraordinary how much work being a moderator is on occasion ;)

Good mornooning everyone.

It’s yoga morning for me.

However, I start my day going for breast cancer screening. Our National Health Service calls all women aged over 50 every other year for a scan. It’s not the most comfortable procedure, but I am glad it happens.

We have a new fishmonger in town, so I’m going to investigate and find something good for dinner. :)
In Germany we had this breast cancer screening for women over 50 years too.

In a horse trailer ??? I know they are big, but are they too big to fit in a car maybe a Van ?
