Maybe I am jumping too far ahead at the moment.

No harm in looking ahead, but is there likely to be a half-way-house, like sheltered accommodation, rather than full care?

I know every case is different and that it's often almost impossible to know what's best. I kept my Dad in his home until he was 95 and thought I was doing the 'best' thing, but with the benefit of hindsight, I'm not so sure.

Also, the goal posts may keep changing, like when I tried to get him into sheltered accommodation, but before I could, he went beyond that.

CTC.... ive PM'd you x

Well that's it; Panto-ed out for another year. Oh yes we are!:p

We'll have to be back at the village hall at 09:00 to pack up, but by 10:00 there will be no sign of the stage, the curtains, or anything else to show we were ever there.

The general concensus seems to be that it was one of our finest efforts, which is especially good, because the chap who started the village Pantos in 1999, died last month. This one was dedicated to him, and by coincidence, it was one of his originals re-worked.

That's nice about the panto dave. A good community you have there by the sound of things.

The weather here is snow blizzards & horizontal sleet - disgusting.....again.

Yep, fell on our feet when we came here.

It's in these less commercial parts of the Westcountry that the best communities survive. Ours is small, so everyone matters, and it's almost like a club, but it's not a hard one to join.

There must be dozens of villages like ours, each with their specialities. Ours just happens to be Panto, maybe because it suits the rather irreverent nature of so many residents, or maybe because it's something which people from 5 to 75 can get involved with.....though it's pretty taxing for the kids. Poor dears will get a rest when they go back to school tomorrow! :rotfl:

Weather is none too special here, but it's warm.....

"Is there anybody there????"

David here, tapping out a message on his digital ouija board....

Maybe if I write my news as a blues number....:D

Well, I woke up this morning and me stove glass cracked right through! :huh:

Yeah, woke up shiverin big time, with me fingers turnin' blue:eek:

Looked around and hollered, "T'wasn't me dear, was it you?":cool:

Anyway, the upshot of this random occurrence was that I had to go and get the stove door fixed with what is probably the most expensive single bit of glass I've ever bought.....£78. _pale_ And that was from a place that's 'reasonable.'

alfie_1

well Davey boy, im sad to hear
that youre wallets shed a tear,
a bit of glass was the trouble
making daveys blood bubble
but its now fixed and you're not glum
warm your fingers then youre bumm.....:D

Goodness Dave - that's a dog down day re the glass. What a price.

Really cold day - snowing off & on. Bright moon out there tonight.

Down Loch Maree to do a survey in an empty shooting lodge. We both got really chilled - so much that our fingers wouldn't work.
That's the 2nd visit to do it, so glad that's done.

Passed several groups of deer on the way home, both reds & roe. The red deer look really straggly. This constant wet is really hard on the animals - including the sheep. They are all looking straggly.

Supposed to be snow overnight again & tomorrow. OH has hospital visit on Wed to see surgeon so I hope it doesn't lie.

Davesnave

Hope the snow is short-lived , choille. We're due some cold tomorrow night, but it doesn't last, apparently.

Profits are in for the Panto. £2300 for the good causes; another new record.

Just for fun, here's me being the baddie. (will remove later)
Now removed.
