You going out tomorrow night to the arena PF ? You don’t have to talk to people just be you, be a listener listening is a skill in itself

Yes Madness supported by Squeeze should be good

You’ve got a lot on your mind making it hard to sleep, ob. I wonder how is your wife’s father in the hospital.

Thanks for asking mate, he just been discharged to same care home as his wife for respite care. He's little better on his feet and to stay there for a month. Family trying to convince him to remain there as think much better environment for him.

In his first few days they had a day trip to pub in countryside and he's had haircut. Wouldn't have had any if these if in his flat. He is literally across hall from his wife's room so can pop in to see her any time. Although she doesn't even know he's there due to her dementia

Have you thought about a little holiday while he is being looked after, you’ve been through the wringer doing your best for him, time for you ob.
They do things in good care homes everything is taken care of trips out and entertainment for the patients Xmas tree and carols.
So no worries make time for you now

Nature is great for your mental health, when i am feeding the badgers and foxes i get to breathe the night air and it is very calming

One of the foxes that was a cub two or three years ago has always come close to the window whilst its sibling was to nervous to do that, last night when i opened the window it was sat right there waiting for me,i speak so they know it is me , i gave it some food and he buried it and came back for more twice, on the third time it sat and ate it by me

When we hold eye contact and i see how it is as a grown up fox and how beautiful it is it a fantastic feeling, most people have never seen an alive badger or a fox up close so i know how lucky i am, i love seeing them as babies and how they grow, i can tell them all apart, see the family dynamics and who is in charge and who takes the food to the babies before they eat themselves, i love it so much, it is like therapy

At last, we have a fox living in our garden. We were disappointed to find when we moved that there were no foxes, given that we had loads previously. But we are much uplifted by our new arrival. Hoping for cubs in the spring.

Had two days in hospital this week with exhaustion and pneumonia, my body is so weak and my mind is on a real rollercoaster of a ride, yesterday i had a real think about the young me from 1979 and what i got up to, x rated! If i could go back and start my life from 17 yrs old i would, having left home and started nursing , freedom from my shite parents finally with loads of other in my class in the same boat, we had so much fun! , i guess everyone looks back at our young selves when we become foc's or in bad health , this year has been hell with no end in sight but i am in better spirits today

Hope you are all doing ok?

Much love xxx,

Kaz

Hope your okay Mark I was looking to see if any new treatment had emerged for you I think they are still trying to learn the cause and a £1.1 million for a three years study into ME/CFS and Long Covid it has many similarities
