I always try to use my real name if possible, but it’s difficult with John as simple combinations are usually taken, so I just added the first initial of my name, hence ‘johnr’.
Jackie was always paranoid about giving out information on the internet. She usually ended up with usernames that were a combination of our initials, surname and a selection of numbers. I used to work in IT, and ‘issues’ are not too bad if you are sensible.
Glenys is a lovely name and of Welsh origin. Being Welsh ourselves, we gave our son a Welsh name. My daughter, who was born in RAF hospital Ely, so really English, even gave her daughters Welsh names.
It’s much nicer to chat using real names, so can I call you Glenys?
@Johnr
Yes I’ll do your weeding but the only problem is I’m never very sure which are weeds.
I’ve pulled up all sorts because after the rain they’ve had a good drink and decide to grow. I swear when I turn my back another one pops up…
The Water Walking at the pool was really good and I can actually feel it’s done the legs good so booked in for tomorrow.
I think sometimes you fellas would avoid something like that thinking it’s only women but there were a few guys joining in…
Good fun
Jackie gave me hell of a rollocking last year, when I said I would do the weeding in the front garden.
A couple of years ago, I started pulling up what I thought were weeds, when I heard an almighty scream. I thought she had fallen over, but she had been watching me through the dining room window and saw me pull up a row of plants she had planted earlier in the year She never let me forget it.
I must admit, I would avoid something like the pool walking thinking that it would just be ladies. I must try it sometime.
I know, it’s so hard. I was reading Marks messages to me the other day, I found one from last year, telling me how much he loved me, that really started the tears flowing.

It’s strange but at the very beginning I could read Johns texts back to Oct 2022 when we first met and how they changed to love over time.
Now I can’t read them but hopefully one day I will again because they are beautiful.
I avoid looking at his picture just now but I will one day.
I think I’m trying to blot it out whilst I get to grips with the fact he’s really gone.
Our minds are complex aren’t they.?
Yes, absolutely they are. Last night I again asked Mark to come to me in my dreams, and again, he did, but although I know he was in my dream, I cannot remember it at all.
Sometimes, I can look at his photo’s, other times, it’s too much to bear.
I have been busy doing nothing really, as you said yesterday, another day we have made it through.
I am sorry you are feeling sad, but I know exactly how you feel, It’s a heavy
sadness we are carrying, and it doesn’t seem to get any easier.
Maybe tomorrow, we may feel a bit better xx
I’ve not done much either. Was intending going for a walk but my neighbour asked if I could take in a couple of parcels. As it’s her birthday and she’s been lovely to me and Jackie, of course I had to say yes.
She never let me forget it.
