Fahrenheit 451 springs to mind!

Better than Fahrrad 451!

Forgot to add to yesterday's post about going through my Mum's paperwork we did have some thoughts of "she did what ... ?" She was fiercely independent so, whilst we had a difficult day doing the paperwork bits, there was the odd bit of laughter.

Her phone is going to me used by my Dad so he can be a bit more 'modern'. In going through the phone and tidying it up a bit we found that she'd been trying to book a holiday in July. At this point she was seriously ill but not dying yet. A solo holiday.

But ... at the time she was in hospital with pneumonia. She'd also just had her Oesophageal stent removed, a thoracic stent put in which was then removed for a giant thoracic stent. She was hooked up to a feed tube, an oxygen tube and had a drip in needing 24-hour care.

Just *where* was she planning to go?

At least her mind was still optimistic, even if her body was sadly letting her down.

I would like to thank my son for pointing out that the mirror I had hung on the wall was off centre!
I have spent a couple of hour re drilling holes and now the blasted mirror won't fit!

Second cuppa went down well

 

[Illaveago]

The mirror is now on the wall again !
I put 2 new screws in and they lined up.

My standard response is to say that I'm allowing for the curvature of the earth.

Can people stop being ill and coming into work. I've carefully avoided people before Christmas. Two colleagues in the office are coughing their guts up, and the lady I sit next to (first day back) has just said she feels awful, and has gone home. She's spent a few days away with friends and one now has Covid.

I do not want your germs, anybody's !

I couldn't pass Gallones Ice Cream Emporium on my way to the charity shop without sampling their wares 👌
