Yup... Life could always be worse and sometimes no matter how tough be humble and grateful for what you do have... Its easy to get so wound up about the bad stuff you forget your blessings... Vicki and I have been married now 39 years and if the last few are a bit tough we have still have more good years than most - its actually something to celebrate... Besides I sponsor the Special Childrens Christmas Party, 15th year this year and some people do it REALLY tough. We had the grandson with us and he was helping out and it was a lesson in humility for all of us. Plus - he has really different view on life coupled with a crazy sense of humour and somedays you just crack up at the stuff he says... I took him to Parliament as hes never been but we were a bit late for the last tour on a sunday so we went up the cable car.
We were in Parliament grounds and I was telling him we were a bit late and he thought that was OK because the Prime Minister was likely to be far too busy to see us on a sunday afternoon... LOL...
It doesn't rain but it pours. You've been having more than your share of problems. I know of others that have suddenly had to become parents again at short notice and that must turn everything upside down. If you wanna compare prostate war stories over a pint one day...
Wishing you all the best.

Post lockdown update.....
Well personally I didnt suffer.. Well Vicki is an essential worker as am I... Her car (truck suv thingy) got sideswiped while she was working on day 2... Feck.. Theres my excess gone... Still it was a bargain so....
Oven failed on Day 5 - no worries - bench top and BBQ all good...
Shower started leaking after some one cleaned it... sigh..... Man it was clean....
Set tox box failed - no TV - Vf are dicks - spark put in fibre and all good...
Had a spare pc - hmm - SSD drives are super cheap and extra ram to edit video - shame W10 nuked the video card but eventually got it running (ish). Utterly befuddled by video editing tools
Vicki doing well... Getting a little befuddled now (sad) but still functional. I'm doing 90% cooking etc...
Grandson - lol - taught him to ride a bike... (BMX) then built him a small mtb around a dirt jumper and now on a proper bike. He managed 40km last saturday which for a kid with his disabilities is astonishing. He was well stuffed when we got home... I have another MTB to build up for him with a 1x drive as the other bike has waaay to many levers...
We will get back to the gym shortly (fat as a lord)
Long story short we are now well over 2 years into a 3 to 5 year sentence and shes still driving and working. My cancers OK (ish) and working on plan B and happiness so we are totally winning I reckon...
Not getting out on the Triumph much - need to work on that...
Don't know you mate but I fucken admire your guts and and positive outlook. God bless bro.
Hey Guys, good to hear that shit is still shit! but that neither of you are taking it lying down.
Keep smiling lad and Ladess.
Be down that ways in Sept, will pm ahead of then.
Take it easy out there, OK.
Every day above ground is a good day!:
Well lockdowns been a bitch
I know - I will go mountain biking on my home tracks except I got bored and in a rush of blood to the head though I was Danny McCaskill - erm - I'm not. 3 weeks of bruised ribs followed by a chest infection, a covid 19 test from an alien in the medical centre car park (negative) and an inhaler.... GREAT...
Not all bad news - I got fatter - taught the disabled grandson to ride - worked my arse off, built up a better PC (yes I was shocked it worked too), edited a few videos and set up a youtube channel,,,

You and your family are an inspiration
