What's the weather like?

bigH ...what type?

Weather is warm and cloudy

Earl Blue

Red, red wine - Palestri Primito, full bodied italian from Sainsburys £3.75 when the  25% discount is on and even less when I have a discount voucher from them.  I buy loads when the discount is on.

Sorry, 'Palastri Primitivo'

Belles Vignes Cotes De Paul Gascogne, Sauvignon Blanc.

Villa Maria sauvignon Blanc.

Lady liquor

That's honey jack Daniels to those not in the know.

Not sure ive heard of that callisto

Theakston's Old Peculiar  5.6%   again

Yorkshire Tea

Always.

I drink that....now and then

I usually drink tea from Ceylon

Nothing here at present but about to open a can of bud. Ms stew is sleeping as she has work to go to tomorrow. (we have seperate finances) I might follow that with a few Smirnoffs and fresh orange having a touch of insomnia for the past few nights.

** the problem with drinking spirits late on is I feel like sh!t in the morning.

(we have seperate finances)



We also have seperate homes which might explain the fact we have been together for 15 years+..

15 years and seperate homes here also, stewarty. I wouldn't last 6 months if she moved in.

my buddy, ladies man, was married to his first wife for 20 years.
mind you been in the Navy he was away at sea for 18

Wood's Rum btw

Lasted a year when she moved in full time saddo. A gem I may add, (in my eyes) but not best pleased when arriving home from work and I'm on the laptop studying the form for evening racing and telling her a takeaway was ordered.

Plus, even when she's here four days a week I just bump into her in the passing having SKY in the living room for the racing.

She watches her soaps etc in the bedroom on freeview.

Having said that I don't take anything for granted and I'm not getting any younger.

Some rose Cava that was open. Then some Kahlua that needed finishing.  Then a bottle of Floralis - sweet late harvest. A touch of vermouth.  Some left-over red wine (Mud House Pinot Noir). Now a couple of inches of Gin with orange and mango.

It's great news - tomorrow I give up booze and eat healthy. As any fool knows, the first step in abstinence is to drink all the alcohol left in the house. I'm feeling really optimistic this time - how can I fail?

(She's probably slowly poisoning you with arsenic, sb.  Has your hair fallen out yet?)

Feeling even more optimistical!

She wouldn't do that bodil but has pased many a comment on my drinking and gambling. A bit rich when I won a right few quid on here one day and bought her a pair of earrings.

'A bit small' she replied. I asked her to look at the certificate of authenticity. She had never had real diamonds before.(even though she could buy and sell me many times over)

We all know the only certificate of authenticity for successful gambling is a death certificate. You must have a 12" todger and priapism.

You can knock off two inches from the 12. As for priapism....

Close enough.

Hey bodil, nobody is looking in, what do you do during the day?

Or for a living. Same thing?

I look after family.  Didn't expect it to go down this way, but I sing in my chains like the sea.

Good show bodil.I had you down as the British Indiana Jones but with the prize.

I look after family



I was going to say....'is that true', however I don't insult people. You have my utmost respect.

They will never ban you Bodil that's for sure

Not absolutely certain it's Old School rather than fear of being thought selfish. Whatever, I'll see it to the end. This place acts as a safety valve.

On the other hand, can the old hands on here imagine being with me all the time? As in ALL the time?

Ironically, I do believe it stops them descending into dementia.  I prevent my inheritance.  Since I'd probably drink/eat/fornicate myself to death in months this has to be a good thing.  Right?

Your a Night Owl Bodil, or maybe a Barn Owl

Ironically, I do believe it stops them descending into dementia.



Joking aside bodil nobody can prevent dementia. My mother died of it and Ms stew's father has it. I only mention that because it's officially the biggest killer in the UK now, overtaking heart disease and cancer. I've said it before but when I go I hope it's with the latter as to have a wee chance.

A few moments ago I had the answer to all problems regarding family, old age, social support, the NHS and welfare.  Then I had a coughing fit and I think it was ejected from one of my nostrils.  I'm prodding it suspiciously - and it's emitting the odd squeak but it doesn't look convincing. I'm probably going to flush it - I'm sure I can count on your discretion.  Better luck next time.

And disturbing the flow does delay dementia.  An active brain stays active for longer.  Challenge them.

An active brain stays active for longer.    I've heard that before bodil but sadly there is no scientific proof. But hey, what do they know?

All I can say is that it strikes at random. Nobody is immune.

They say if you keep your napper active

Studies done on it say group therapies in older age do better than isolation

They say if you keep your napper active



Thanks for that input even though it means SFA.

The other 'truth' - older people who live with younger people become physically and mentally younger.  Younger people who live with older people visibly age. 

There's plenty of scientific proof that an active brain resists ageing.  As in shedloads. Make that effort?

Sorry to correct you but once you're diagnosed with dementia it's a one way ticket, regardless of your surroundings.

Im saying before onset

Down to 6 others - I'm gone.  Tomorrow (or the day after) I will return sober and wholesome and everything will be alright for ever and ever.

I can agree with some of that bodil but when dementia kicks in....

Anyways I'm off to have my third large Smirnoff. Will it be the last?

1/3 no, 11/4 yes.

Fair enough anxious.

Just saying that isolation leads to desolation in people even in their 50s , I don't wont to get political but Thatcher spiv culture done the world no good ,

this is not the place to get political now anxious, trust me. Many will come back to you and say that although Thatcher closed many mines what wasn't reported was the fact she made sure the miners who were 'paid off' received good lump sums and benefits/pensions.


Meanwhile, China is cutting it's coal production by 30% due to the fact many chinese in the capital have to stay indoors to bteath properly.

* breath

We on the left only want a fair and just world for Senior citizens , reject Thatcher spiv culture Socialism is the only thing that will save you from Barbarism

I want to know what love is ...

I want you to show me ...

Breathe I may add. Where are the late timers now?

I have now poured myself another large Smirnoff whilst trying to take in 'Suits' on 111. Perhaps I will get the gest one day. Meanwhile it's finish the drink and (hopefully) back the last winner today. (not much of a life)
