COLD DARK ROOM

[ZEROPILOT]

Adapting must be very hard for her, but at least you know she is well cared for and safe.

She is in very good hands.
Eventually I hope she can better cope with reality.
She told me that she wonders how my sister is. She hadn't heard from her since she ran away from home.
My sister died a few years ago.
This kind of behavior and thinking are all too common now. And she thinks she is healthy enough to take care of herself. But she can do almost nothing without help...

 

[ZEROPILOT]

You look like your Mum Ed.

So...You're confirming that I look 80?

 

[ZEROPILOT]

Good night Lyn
My phone battery is going crazy.
When I get back home, I've gotta see how much a new one is. Either that or get a new phone.

 

[ZEROPILOT]

It goes down to about 40% then crashes to zero and shuts off. Dead.

Goodnight Ed, I may have missed you as my sister rang me.
Have a safe trip back if you are travelling today.

Not at all - your Mum looks young for her age - about 53 I'd say!!

The spirit is willing but the flesh is weak......
Great she wants to be independent but hard to help her I should think.
Old age can be b*tch!
It's so hard to see our parents affected by it.

I feel 80 lol

I went for a 30 min walk on the beach after it cleared off. I'm wiped out and my leg hurts. I don't know why it is hurting so much. I doubt the storke would do that by itself. Maybe I'm using it unnaturally because of it. Or maybe it's the medication working on those places in my leg. Idk. I just hope it goes back to normal soon. Or as close as it can.

Frosted flakes used to be my go to evening snack, but they changed something about it now the flakes are hard - not too crisp, really, just unpleasantly hard.

I noticed that too. But I found an off brand that is still good (to me). I think it's malt-o-meal brand that's sold in a bag.

I'll tell her you said that!

I'm going to get some sleep and hit the road at about 4 am.

Glad I started a trend -maybe I could have commission from Kellogs?
I love a bowl in the evening with cold milk - mmmmmmm

Me too.

Shame Dan. So do I.

Good Morning all. It is realy early for me today. I wanted to get started on the laundry early ( as it is my turn today).
On a side note does anyone have a really good remedy for a bad sty? Hubby has one and it has made his whole eye puff up. He looks like he is walking around with a ball on his eye. We are currently using a sty cream but it seems to be getting worse.

Great pictures again Linda.
The palace looks a bit like Buckingham Palace doesn't it?

It does a bit and as it was built around 1850 - after Victoria moved in to Buckingham Palace - it seems entirely likely that some ideas were stolen

My best friend has this with her 94 year old, frail and forgetful Mum. She thinks she’s being held prisoner half the time. The care home is great and friend’s Mum really cannot look after herself now

 

[JoesMum]

Good morning all.

Have a safe journey Ed.

Dan I hope the pain goes quickly. You’re probably not walking straight now and using different/the wrong muscles to do so. When you get home, some physio to help rebuild the muscle strength will help.

I understand there were huge storms for 4 hours back in the UK last night. I await news from our children.

Here in Oslo it is heading for 30C rapidly again. We are heading out on a boat trip this morning

 

[Kristoff]

Thanks Carol - I'll tell him.
I managed to get him to bask under his mvb for a while - I put his girlfriend under it.
He got fed up of being ignored eventually though and went to bed,

Clever trick, Lyn!

 

[Kristoff]

All my outside work is finished and now I'm waiting for my beef strips to simmer a bit more, then I'll thicken the gravy and have it with mashed potatoes and green beans. Misty has already been fed, the pushy broad.

Yum! Forget the Red Robin (was that the name?). I want to have dinner at your house!
