    @punkdoc ... make sure you stand with your back to the wind.  All I said was 'Goodbye and thankyou' ... I think my two would've thought that was appropriate ... and quite enough  ;)

    Good morning all!
    Very overcast and humid this morning.  Not a breath of wind.  We had a little respite yesterday afternoon when the wind changed and the sea breeze came up.  It has blown in the humidity - but hey - it's summer!

    @WonkyWomble  Happy Anniversary to you both.  I hope you can make it into a special day.
    @Busy-Lizzie Busy an active few days ahead of you.  i hope you will enjoy your "crew".
    @punkdoc  Lest is best, I suppose.  I like @Dovefromabove 's little speech.  It does say it all to our parents who sacrificed so much for us.

    Walked the dog and then cycled to Aldi this morning - they have those water filter jugs on special - but - I got the day wrong, so will have to go back on Saturday!!  I should learn to read the "whole" page.  Still, I can always find something to buy!!

    Have a pleasant day.
    Tui

    We’ve been watching Bill Nighy on the River Buche. I think I got that right. We were both enjoying it until there was an ad and we both woke up😳🤬.  Both nodded off. I thought of you though Dove since I know your not far from there .

    Happy anniversary Mr & Mrs @WonkyWomble!  
    Glad you are enjoying your trip away @Dovefromabove
    I'm just back for a couple of hours being going back into town for the Black Shuck Festival.  Part of it is writing our demons on a card which will then be symbolically burned (plans for actual burning scrapped with this oh so dry weather).  I'm posting it here for @punkdoc to write down all his ill feeling against his ex-next door neighbour and then - let it go!  (He is just living his life whilst you are still fuming).

    He's gone. 
    I called at 6 and he was ok, but I asked if I should go and be with him. They said there had been no change since I'd left at lunchtime.
    They called at 8 to say his breathing had changed. I got in the car but he died minutes after she'd called.
    I really wanted to be there with him at the end.

    Bless you @Hostafan1 ((huge hugs)). I’m sorry you weren’t with him, but I know he felt loved … you’ve been with him every day of this long sad goodbye. 
    Take special care of yourself … it’s what he would want … and you know where we are xxx
