Sorry about the gaps between the pictures and the last one you have to slide along to completely see his sleepy face.

Any fool can see from his shining old face that he lived a beautiful and properly cared-for life. Good job, Milly Jones!!

Thanks Milly. I especially like the middle one with his cheek over the ball.  Smiley

I'll have to trawl through old threads to see if I can find the pic I mean - I thought it was a boxer having a bath but perhaps my memory's playing tricks.

As I sit here writing this message, I realise that staring at a screen obscures the real challenges of life! All I look at is this...



When I move back a little, some of the surrounding features begin to make their disturbing presence clear...



Worse still, when I stand right back and look at more of the picture it gets even worse...



My 15-year-old son and 20-year-old daughter seem to have been having a 'party' with all my books, CDs and music. Given that they both have their OWN wireless-connected laptops which they can use to their hearts' content in their OWN rooms, I am left wondering (yet again) how to meet this challenge again today. (It may not be all their fault, but most of it is!  Angry)

Yes - I know what to do!

Over the last few days I've begun to realise that I'm slipping.
I'm busy with work, going out and socialising, exploring the city.
But...
I sit and think too much. Especially over the last week, I've been worrying that I'm going to need some help sometime soon. I keep on hoping that things will improve but I've realised today that I'm avoiding going out when I don't have to.
I suppose I'm hoping that putting this down in writing will spur me into action.

hh,

This is a stern warning.

Uncle Ron's only just a couple of hours up the road/down the tracks, and if you carry on like this he'll be on your doorstep to help you sort things out.

Now you wouldn't want that now, would you? Wink

Well, if Ron's gonna play 'bad cop'....

HH, when you find yourself coming up with excuses for staying in, think about the things you've enjoyed doing in the last xx hours/days or whatever, and go and find someone to tell   it to/who might be interested.  You may well get a whole load more inspiration from them.

You are definitely the type of person I expect lots of people would be interested talking to

hh, it's going to take time to get over it, don't be too hard on yourself. You say yourself you're going out and socialising, exploring the city, just keep this up, you've done well already what with your move up North and finding somewhere to live and of course the new job. You wrote on the love it or hate it thread that Christmas might be awful for you - perhaps now's the time to start planning some things to do, places to go so you'll have less "thinking" time to cope with.

Of course, we're all here to keep you cyber company. Kiss It'll be especially stressful at home for me this year - no doubt I'll be coming onto r3ok to escape - as I do now!

HH, Ron is the best good and the best bad cop around. Listen up.
But sympathies. Years ago, I came back from four years living in the States. I had one (American) girlfriend for most of that time. I had to come back because of visa requirements. We said 'goodbye'. I missed her terribly. I called her shortly before Xmas that year and proposed. She turned me down, very sensibly and not for any other reason than she knew then, as I didn't, that it was not to be. It would have been terribly romantic etc., but thank god. We're still in touch, still good friends. Power through it, pal.
