MikeO Posted March 30, 2020 Report Share Posted March 30, 2020 What the absolute fuck? I'm sixty in a couple of weeks and today I woke up with (and continue to have) a bloody big spot on my lower lip; I suffered really badly from them in my younger years but now? Not even kissed any frogs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MikeO Posted April 5, 2020 Report Share Posted April 5, 2020 I'll put this in here rather than the covid thread because it's not exactly a hardship compared to that but a few weeks ago we ordered a new corner unit sofa so arranged to have our old sofa collected and dumped (too tatty even for charity shops to be interested), so some bloke came around to collect it just before lock-down. New one delivery was delayed (being made in China) so we cancelled the order and went into Oak Furniture land and picked another one, made in England. When I got home I looked at the confirmation email and realised they'd got the configuration and the size wrong so went back and they then came to conclusion that they didn't even make the thing in the size we ordered so cancelled again. Day or two later lock-down. So for the duration of this 'king virus we have exactly one comfy chair in the front room. Now it is a very comfy chair (recliner with footstool) but the problem is its solitude. If more than one of us wants to sit together in there the options are... 1. Office chair. 2. Dining room chair. 3. Steal the footstool (and it'd take a braver man than me to deprive the wife of it). Just a small irritation in the grand scheme of things but typing it out got me through another ten minutes or so, only another x months to go.

MikeO Posted April 8, 2020 Report Share Posted April 8, 2020 Just been for a walk with Josh, walked past the house where a fellow cancer patient lived, retired policeman called David Hopper (doesn't take a genius to work out his nickname given his surname and occupation) and it crossed my mind I'd not seen him for a bit. We didn't go through treatment together but met in a post treatment physio group, nice bloke. Carried on walking and went into the local cemetery (to visit, as I always do, the grave of a five year old called Josh King who died on the exact same day as my dad, Aug 3rd 2003) and on our way out glanced at the newer headstones and there was David, died a year ago. Sad that, wonder if his cancer returned. Must call on his wife and offer belated condolences. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MikeO Posted April 16, 2020 Report Share Posted April 16, 2020 BBC constantly plugging the Peter Crouch podcast does my nut in, I want to punch the man in the face (and I've never punched anyone ever, only been punched, sympathy please). Actually I did punch the odd person in my brief experience of martial arts, but they were trying to punch me at the same time and we had gloves on so not the same.
