Today, I am reflecting on my half-brothers life .. mainly regrets that I wasn't able to know him for most of our lives. He was estranged from us, due to my father, his step-father.

He passed away, yesterday .. after being bed-ridden due to cancer, which he had for a number of years. He was to turn 90 this year. He had a long life full of adventure (he joined the Canadian Navy at age 16 .. he told them he was 18).

For the first time, he met our youngest brother a few years ago, at my daughter's wedding. Also, for the first time, he filled in a few blanks concerning family history.

So .. goodbye Gary. Have a good journey to wherever souls go after life on this plane.

Pinky.....so sorry for the passing of your brother.
You may have felt like strangers, sadly, but he will forever be in your heart and memories.
He rests in peace now.
 
Haven't been in this thread is some time. I usually do much the same things most days so I don't want to bore everyone....Today I got up late after taking a little extra sleep medication last night. I guess I needed the rest. Yesterday I did a load of laundry and as usual there is more to do. I need to get to the towels next. Listening to Spotify right now and watching the news muted. Of course I have the CC on, though. A good night to all!

You never bore anyone, Ruthanne.
Happy to read your posts.

@Pinky I am so sorry about your brother.
 
Today I have an appointment at the Lymphedema clinic for therapy. I wasn't able to go to the last two due to weather and my bf was sick the other time and could not take me. I am thinking of not scheduling any future appointments for this. Other than that, nothing planned. I want to rest my legs as much as possible so I can walk when I get there.
 
Today was gloriously sunny... we had 68 degrees here today...😊🌞🌞🌷

I got my chores done this morning.. good girl I am .. then I went out for the monthly grocery shopping to a town 20 miles north of here... to their retail park, where all the stores I need are right next to each other.. Hardware, Discount, Frozen food shop.. and Supermarket.. all big box stores . It was so hot , thankfully I hadn't put a cardigan on and just had a blouse and jeans

On the way there I stopped of at the lake and had a little walk , and a cold drink... and took some pics..

It really was lovely , warm and peaceful on the lake....
So..a 40 mile round trip for my shopping today.. got stocked up with some A6 notebooks , I noticed when I was in London the other day that I couldn't buy a small notebook even in the stationary stores, so I wondered if there was a shortage of paper. The Discount store had a lot today , so I got 6... just in case there is a shortage . I use notebooks all the time...

Annoyingly when I came out of the supermarket to go and get my car washed , the jet wash wasn't working, my car is covered in Pigeon poop... I paid with my card at the machine and nothing happened.. , and equally when I tried to fill the water bottle . I paid in advance for the water.. not a drop came out.. irritating as heck!!...anyway my back is predictably killing me after 4 hours of heaving lots of shopping around.. and now at 5.15pm, I've got a hot heatpad on my back and a hot cuppa char and a cream cake... 😁... ..but the good news.. at least for today is that the Chancellor of the Exchequer has knocked 5p a litre off our fuel as from 6pm tonight.. ( 45 mins from now )... I suspect there will be queues a mile long at the pumps shortly... ..

I hope your back will feel better soon. I know how those backaches are. Mine has been trying to give me some pain, there's been some but I'm trying to give it a rest, too, so it doesn't get worse. That heating pad is a good idea. I'm going to try and find mine. I hope your nite is good.

Thanks Ruthanne.. (y) my back is a big problem for me , it's a long standing issue. Without my heat-pad at times like this, I wouldn't even be able to think straight much less converse.. . Thankfully the heat relaxes my muscles and after about an hour I can get on with my day... sometimes with the help of an OTC Painkiller as well. Please go get your heat-pad if your back hurts... ..
