That is so tragic and sad! A good neighbour is worth their weight in gold. ?This awful disease is so painful all round, with family affected and burdened either with the appalling costs of care or with trying to cope. All we get from our “government” is promises and inaction. ?But never mind, it’s Independence Day for some, with fireworks to make up for not being in a war zone. Cynical, moi?? Best Susan

A man who used to be a neighbour and a bright mind got dementia late in life - had been chief pathologist in Hong Kong at one time - did the autopsy on Bruce Leigh. They moved from our area to suburbia and his wife cut them down to one car - hoping to try to dissuade him from driving but unbeknown to her her ordered another car. Finally at 4am one morning a woman knocked on her door and she had hold of her husband — he’d left the house in his pyjamas and had walked a long way and then knocked on this woman’s door and said he was lost. ?Fortunately though on her own the woman took him in and gave him a cuppa and figured where he lived somehow and drove him home.?
I was horrified when I heard because there is a very busy road nearby and I said to his wife now what if he had been killed or worse caused an accident that killed other people in wandering. She shortly after bit the bullet and found him a dementia care place.?
My MIL on one occasion leapt off a bed and put her hands round SIL’s throat whilst in care and several nurses were required to drag her off, and so frightened SIL she never went back for two weeks. ?All you can do is deal the best you can and not lose sight of the person they were.?

It must be simply ghastly. ?That sounds like what happened to friends of ours; partners of about 50 years (they were both younger than myself), he turned violent and had to be taken away for care. She died not long after, I’m thinking it was a broken heart. Best Susan Very sad for the poor man if his wife is behaving like that. Could be a case of dementia and he can't bring himself to put her in care, or maybe can't afford it. ?I remember when my mother in law began having difficulties my sister in law sent for me to travel about 500 miles to sit in with an assessment team because she didn't want to do it -- wanted to pass the responsibility on to someone else. I didn't think really it was my place as a daughter in law but SIL just not coping at the time. It is very sad though when you see someone deteriorating to not being the person you have always known.?

Oh GOD, things get better! An outsourcer, from the council, was supposed to replace my bathroom flooring (around the 10th January 2020). Well I’m sure he had a Stetson on and the spurs ji.

When I put in the order it said 27th June --- and then I got harassing emails about picking up the pen .... but the date on the iPad pro had blown out to 27th July --- no one has any of the M1 versions -- I rang a retailer who was advertising but no its just on the website and so its just a matter of waiting. I predicted we would be going into a lockdown again soon and that has happened but only for a coupole of days -- and it would have been nice to have it to play with ?:-)?
But just having to be patient. I rang Apple and told them not to keep emailing me because I wasn't going to be bothering to pick the pen up until they had the iPad in the same pickup as I had noting to use it on anyway.
?At least Apple haven't taken the money out yet.
A bit cold by our standards -- so bed and tv and leftover tucker. Made a batch of cumquat marmalade yesterday -- did a different recipe -- serves me right -- took much longer to set but not complaining on the taste. Bit of alright on toast.?

That’s good to read, John. ?We all have downs, but I realise that some downs are much further down than others. ?I’ve just read this story, which made me feel quite emotional about people who help others:
Yesterday my wife had a call from a chap who was our neighbour in Gamlingay. ?We’ve known him and his partner since about 2004 but he said that she had been assaulting him recently – I think that she is bipolar – and that neighbours had called the police; as a result she had spent nights in the cell in Cambridge, but she needs care. ?He’s a lovely chap and we feel very sorry that trouble upon trouble is laid at his door.
But yes, faith in Jesus is key, John.

Things are getting betting. Maybe I could now get a laptop & freelance. I ‘d like to work again, but I’ve seen Chris Barkers face & he looks 10 years younger than me at least. At least we have the same faith in Jesus Christ. It’s been so tough recently
But is still tougher

When I was in the West Country, I saw a news report. It was read by a lady, not sure if by marriage or birth. Trust me it was on South West TV. About an RAF pilot on the final stages of take-off. It was analysed & it was a technical problem.
Anyway the lady said “he managed to ejaculate safely”
I think the word she was searching for was “eject”.
Don’t know if Chris knows him, but that pilot must have had a bloody hard time: from that day till now.
Trust me I’ve been there, nearly blew my right hand off. Good job toilet was only 100 ft away.
It took a full bottle of Jack Daniels to calm down from that.
