Finally Able to Visit My Wife's Grave Again

-

I visited my wife Rose with my son Chris and fresh roses yesterday. I haven't visited for many months because I couldn't walk the distance across the cemetery. However, Chris got me a small mobility scooter that folds up and fits in the back of our station wagon last week. So no longer an issue. I could even follow him around while he did the shopping yesterday.

I am thrilled that you can get out and about again - and on such an important errand too.
Love the racer's crouch in the final photo...

Oh, Vest...how wonderful to hear from you. I've kept poking my head in, in the hope...and today...here you are! :)

How great it is for you to be able to get around.

Take good care....and no speeding...you hear? :)

Ah that's fantastic news Uncle Les, l am so pleased for you. It must be a lovely feeling to get out and about again, especially going to see your much loved Rose.
All pretty much the same here, awaiting news from bonkers Boris today, hope he doesn't make things worse yet again!
Dad is pretty much the same, struggling but getting by, l will be so glad when we can visit him again.
I am off to the fracture clinic at QA very shortly to get my ankle checked, hopefully will be discharged too. Still unable to walk properly and in some pain, but time will heal me 🤞
Anyway, you take good care of yourself and enjoy your new found freedom
Lots of love

Thank you Everyone for your kind messages. Although I am beset with multiple bodily problems I struggle through somehow with organised assistance provided to me from Vet Affairs and Govt organisations, plus my three healthy pensions. However, the physical dilemma remains in the form of swollen limbs plus Kidney; Liver and mobility, but most annoying are being restricted on the keyboard with my fingers cramping and my bodily engine seems to lose power all too quickly, I rarely sleep more than three hours at a time but spend more time in or on my bed than what may be normal.
I have a little pain at this moment due to the f(#%@(! blessed new thing on wheels tipping completely over when hitting a hole hidden by the neatly cut grass at the cemetery, more on this later; maybe.
Minnie was the cause of me writing this time of the day; bang on the Witching hour Midnight she called in for a cuddle - which has kept me awake since.
This message has been written by my left hand in the main; due to my writing paw on my right arm being asleep next to Minnie our mog, but one digit typing at its slowest- I suppose if all fails, the least employed parts of our bodies are the toes could be trialled. Back again soon, hopefully.

You are such a strong person, I cannot imagine going through half of what you've been through health wise nor do I want to! Ah, Minnie, you are such a gorgeous gal and a wonderful time keeper. I went back off to sleep again at roughly that time this morning, it was quite light with the moonlight shining on the new colourbond fence. Mmm, those traps are a disaster at best, carefully managed by hidden remnants of nature. Glad you are on the mend from that pitfall. Well, it's a lovely sunny start to a working Friday morning, I enjoyed yesterday off minding the grandchildren in the afternoon after school plus the oldest in the morning. A bonus was that I passed my eye test for my drivers licence! Ah, the wonders of old age coming on!

Have you noticed that the new metric Dozen when it applies to Flowers seems to have been reduced to Ten from that of the imperial twelve?

The Last Post

I am sorry to say this blog will soon have its final post, this post may be my last.  I would like to say "Thank You" to all of you nice people with whom I have been in blog contact over the past sixteen years. Unfortunately, my health issues have become worse over the past two weeks, my mobility is at its lowest point; and I become dizzy after a couple of paces, I am using oxygen permanently. It feels like I  am falling apart; I have Kidney - Heart - Lung and Bladder problems, plus many other add ons to stir the mix. I am still living? at home, where I have a comfortable environment and the necessary assistance,. I do not sleep well; probably due to loss of body activity.  My eldest son Christopher will be the person to inform you of my final time on earth.  I need to lay down for a while right now. My best wishes to you all. Vest Daily Gaggle, AKA.  Leslie John Bowyer.

OPEN FORUM. This is a new concept in blogging.

In future ALL posts on this Site will have a section to be known as 'OPEN FORUM. this is to be introduced as from now and a reminder of this promulgated at each time a new post arrives. Open Forum comments are not restricted to the current post, however, it would be advisable not to retro too far into the archives. When referring to comments in archives, you will be advised to mention the post and it's date. Open forum comments Shall Not relate to the current posts, and must be headed 'Open Forum. Open talk opens the way to further talk, as does wine or love, and a little bit of gossip is good for the soul, another good thing about gossip is that it is within every ones reach. The more the pleasures of the body fade away, the greater to me is the pleasure and charm of conversation.
