COLD DARK ROOM

[Moozillion]

Just got off the phone with my dad: he's 94 today! He has both Parkinson's and dementia, and is most alert and able to talk in the mornings. Today was pretty good: he knew who I was, which is a bonus!
His caregivers show him pictures of the different family members every day so he can work on remembering everyone's name, but it's always a 50:50 shot that he'll get it right.
But he was pleasant and is generally cooperative with his care givers, so it's all good. He lives in Ft. Lauderdale, Florida under the watchful eye of one of my sisters- my other sisters, brother and I intend to nominate her for sainthood!

I just love all your photos, Linda.
Such beautiful places, many of which I have fond memories of, some new to me.
Wonderful!

Brilliant from Halep and Konta in the Wimbledon Quarter finals for ladies.
Deciding set!
Umpire goes to speak to Halep as Konta has gone to powder her nose.
Halep swings racket at umpire who ducks and scarpers.
Wonder what he said ?

Genius often comes along like total idiots
Good to have one genius in your family !

Happy birthday to your father ! 94 years is a really high age. Luckily he had a good day and he knew you.
My father is 89 years old but healthy for this high age and not anyway dement. He lives in a retirement home and I visited him yesterday,

 

[Bee62]

Hello, hello, hello!
Having a good day ?

Yes, I am still having a good day ! No working, only my holiday cats ( and my own ) to look after.

 

[Bee62]

Excellent win by Konta. Dinner is running late... again!

I have wifey and Tidgy to look after.
Quite enough for me.
Glad you're having a good day.

 

[Tidgy's Dad]

Told you!
Indeed, a great win in a super match.
Unfortunate that some berk shouted out in the last point and clearly distracted Halep.
For you none tennis fans this is the first time the UK has had a woman in the semis at Wimbledon since 1978.
I remember it.
i was 12.

 

[Tidgy's Dad]

Beautiful!

Hello, and a rather belated welcome to The Cold Dark Room.
Sorry i've been away sand skating in the Sahara.
I hope the One-Legged Pirate brought you something nice and the jellyfish and Roommates behaved themselves.
And trust that Hermie is doing well!
Wibble on!
