Morning Marilyn
Congratulations on your Anniversary
That is a long time !!!

Enjoy your very special meal out

Linda :-) <3

Congrats, Marilyn. My OH and I didnt really celebrate our wedding anniversaries. On our silver wedding we even slept in separate rooms!!! We were walking the Milford Track and were put in segregated bunk rooms. When somebody found out later, she said we should have spoken up, but Phil didnt want a fuss made. For our Golden wedding 2 years ago he didnt know what day it was so we didnt celebrate anyway. We have been 'living apart' since then, as he is now in care with alzheimers.

Huia.

Marilyn Thanks for forwarding Pat's photo . I love the fascinator it looks good with her dress for the day.

Huia so sad that Phil was unaware of your special day, my parents celebrated their 60th anniversary last November but not sure if my Mum will know this year. She too has dementia and it robs us of our loved ones. Hubby's Mum (who died 6 years ago) was in a nursing home for 4 yrs, but se was Ok in her own way. It is those left who suffer as you loose them early.

Take care and keep adding I enjoy reading your notes. Do you have a picture of yourself you could send to one of us?

Linda :o) XxX

I think he will be watching, Marilyn, so put plenty of bubbles in.

Thank you for the photo of Pat........... who, was looking very smart in her new suit.

Pat, that picture of your fascinator doesn't do it justice.......... it looks much better on your head, it's lovely.

I don't have a photo of Cath or Sally, come to think of it........ I haven't got one of Jean or Dermot either. Although Dermot said a picture of Homer Simpson would be just the same as a one of him.

Good luck at the dentist Rita.

It won't let me put a drawing up!!!

It was my anniversary last week....... 27 years.

That's very sad for you Huia, one of my aunts had alzheimers, it's really strange trying to talk to a loved one who has no idea who you are............ or even who they are!

Yes, Pauline, I never know what to say when I visit Phil. I usually just rabbit on about what I have been doing, if he is awake, but it doesnt seem to mean anything to him. Last year I printed off some old photos, A5 size, and put them in a clear file folder and tried showing them to him, but he didnt seem interested. At least it shows the carers his early life though, when he was a kennel hand at the Wembly greyhound kennels, and when he did his 2 yrs nat service in the war dogs army school before following his parents and sister to New Zealand. There was also a photo of Halnaker windmill, near where he used to live, and one of our wedding and some of our children and grandchildren, and dogs and cats, and some of the walks we have done.

Linda, I have email addies for Marilyn and Mo so I could send a photo to one of them to share, if I can find a decent one. Perhaps one our son took of us on our 50th anniversary. He took them primarily because we wanted a recent photo in case Phil went missing and the police needed one. Not that we told Phil that is why the photos were being taken, though I dont think he knew it was our anniversary anyway. He was definitely 'losing it' by then.

I will be off to bed soon, so I might send the photo tomorrow as it takes a while to load.

Huia.

Thank you for the photo of Pat what alovely photo that is.

Happy Anniversary Marilyn and Pete.
hope you have a great day.


I am off to the dentist now. woe is me,

Rita <3 <3 <3

Hi All,

Huia.....I was wondering how Phil was nice to have updated us.its a horrible thing Alzheimers my father in law had it, so I know the suffering that goes with the patient and carer. I just hope a cure can be sorted for the our generation.

Pauline.... you are supposed remind us when your Anniversary is , mind you I have all birthdays logged but not Anniversary's., funny I got married on a Wednesday.

Thanks for your good wishes

Well Pete has a few hours to decide where to take me tonight , he's in my lounge cleaning out my wood burner and all the brass .....oh its looking lovely so plenty of thinking time for him ... :D

Blooming Heck !

Fell out of a tree a wee while ago.......I had been 'Bird Watching' then I slipped off the branch.
I missed the best bit.......she was just getting out of the bath.
I'll need to go back and get my binoculars.

HAPPY ANNIVERSARY MARILYN ! ;-) ;-) ;-) ;-) ;-) ;-)

Advert on Irish radio at the moment about the use of mobiles while driving:-

'Missing a call will not kill you. Taking that call while driving just might kill you or someone else.'

Just had some really bad news an hour ago.

A very dear friend has only days to live.

She was taken into Hospital on Monday.

Douggie her Hubby is devastated, they have been together for many,many
years.

Madge was kindness in the extreme. She refused no one that needed help.

She has discussed all the Funeral arrangements with her family. They now know what she wants.

I will now go and have a wee quiet time and just pray.

Oh Stevey,

Thats sad.......

I'll say a prayer as well for Madge....

For Stephen

Thinking of Madge and her family at this time
Also of you as it has obviously affected you too

Linda <3

That is sad news Stephen my thoughts are with her family and yours.

Just got back from the dentist have to go back on 25th for fillings.

on my way back I called into waitrose I wanted to see if they had fresh sardines in there. and spotted their new strawberies were in so I made sure they were English and brought them a small punnet £1.99 Linda they are from your part of the woods sorry not the bit that burn out.

I noticed their Jersey Royal potato's were down in price £1.99 I brought mine yesterday at the market New Jersey Royals £1 a pound and they are really lovely. you cannot beat Jersey Royals.

off to fix my dinner now

Rita

Hello everyone

Happy Anniversary Marilyn and Pete <3

Thanks for sending piccie of Pat

Sending a big (((hug))) to Steven and his friends







<3

Hello everyone.
Many thanks for sending me Pat's photo, it's so nice to see who we are speaking to isn't it.

A happy anniversary Marilyn and Pete, get yourselves of to the best restuarant in town, and enjoy a nice meal. No cooking for you tonight Marilyn.

Pauline, sorry to have missed your anniversary, but belated wishes are winging your way.

Stephen, I am so sorry to hear your sad news. Life can be a right swine at times, to the nicest of people.
It's very hard for families to bear in circumstances like this, bless them all.

Rita I had to re-read your posting, re your visit to the dentists, I thought at first you had to have 25 fillings, then realised you meant you have to go back on the 25th of the month, hmmm stupid me.

Sally, thats a lovely photo of your grandaughter.

Maddie, you are gettind as bad as our Marilyn, not finding something you really like, whilst out shopping for clothes.
It's always the way, if you have the money you never find anything, if money is short, you spot something straight away yet can't afford it at the time.

Hi Huia, good to see you on here, with us lot of gas bags. LOL

Happy Anniversary Marilyn and Pete.
I was sorry to hear about your friend Stephen.
Yes, Dermot is it against the law to use the mobile while driving Eire as it is in the U.K?
I've got chicken curry for tea. Picked it up fromt he take away. I walked home and I'm starving!

Hi Pat, a chicken curry sounds good to me. We had chicken salad for dinner this evening, and I am hungry again already.

Dermot that is brilliant that advert on the irish Radio and it makes sense.

I have been busy this afternoon I had to list all my medication so I can give the list to my dentist next time I go then I had to work all my hospital and doctors appointment out for the next five weeks I have quiet lot. still not had my scan appointment come through. bit of a worry that as the cancer hospital appointment is for the scan results and that is due 7th June.if I dont have the scan done cannot go to the hospital for the results,
I had a cup of tea and some jelly and strawberries and ice cream while watching the repeats of "Who do you think you are " it was Rory Bremmer I forgot some of that so it was good to see it. I had no idea his Gt Grandfather was buried near me at Woking Crem. I must have missed it when he went into Surrey Records office as well. it is on "Yesterday" at 5 oclock .thats chanel 12 it is repeateed again at 10 oclock.
well time for another cup of tea.

Rita

On for a chat......and you have all gone AWOL

Mutter,mutter,mutter,mutter. Talks to himself.

I'll have my shower and make some supper.
