I am on a bit of a Thai theme today. I am going to Tai Chi later, then I am going to have a Thai take-away. You can keep your cheap gin, Ron. I think nothing less than a couple of Mai Tais will suffice this evening. I might even sign up for the Taekwondo class.
Now, what else is there? Nope, I am tongue-tied now.
Pudding, explain to Ron how to wire a plug, it might come in handy when he wants to borrow my angle grinder. They are probably on the old two pin system up there in the Grim North.

Don’t know what age you are but if you get really lonely and need someone to talk to age uk have a service where someone will ring you regularly. For a while I had a volunteer from them who visited once a week. We got on really well. Unfortunately she and her family moved to Korea. Also Silverline available.

Hi @Pam14, I have to commiserate with you on this, I have had poor day, this morning was all tears and sadness, I was a bit surprised to feel like this, I am in my seventh month since losing my wife and for the last few weeks I actually felt I was getting a grip on things and was beginning to feel a bit more positive, I have even been making more positive posts. I am sure the circumstances of the day start to play a larger part in how we feel,
I went to bed late last night (well this morning) I woke up late, laid in bed because the weather was crap and I didn’t want to get up, when I did my breakfast was late, my whole routine had been thrown out, I had stuff I needed to do but it was still dull and raining, so I watched telly but the tears just kept coming, this afternoon has been a bit better, these rounds of getting a bit more positive, maybe seeing a light and then relapsing (in guilt?) are tiring!

Me and my husband just pretty much just had each other
We did spend some time with the family

I know what you mean,up until last Saturday I was more upbeat,even manage a few smiles and laughs,then just cleaning the garden stuff brought back so many memories it collapsed me,I locked myself away and sadly got a bit drunk,weekends for me are not very good as my wife was admitted to hospital on a Saturday and passed on the Sunday.
