Went to have a blood test this morning.😷..you know the usual check up...been there ...done that...and do you ever wonder what to say? I know I do..always trying to think of something different, maybe than what every other person says..but end up most likely saying what everyone else says anyway?

Take a number and wait...look at the floor... shuffle and my turn already!

"Is it busy today?" I ask as I enter the room. "About average", the young lady replied.

We chat how busy it is out and the up coming long weekend. She has four days off. "Wonderful", I reply..

"And you...anything special this weekend," she asks as I sit down while the paperwork is completed. "Me...no..nothing special".

 A pregnant pause fills the room...silence...

"Right or left arm" she asks approaching with the needle poised in mid air😐

"Either," I reply.

 "Right handed?".

 "Yes right handed", I confirm...."I'll do it in the left then", she replies.

"Just close hand..and relax..hold it there.. a small prick" ( No comment😏)  I look the other way, I'm sure most people do, as two bottles of the pure red are drained..cotton wool..plaster and " No heavy lifting with that arm and if you have a bruise just put on some ice", she offers with a smile. I assume a smile as we are both masked😷😷

I thank the young lady with a wave as I leave "Have a great day"... and all done...hopefully 🤞 for another year.

The things you see while driving:

A fit muscular lycra warrior on his racing bike this morning as he was going along he reached down and took a banana out of his sock😀

At least he didn't have it down his pants😲

Trouble at both ends of the scale......

Firstly //    It's called "elder abuse" and it seems to be growing for some unexplainable reason.  In some cases it's neglect...pure and simple... but in most it's stealing money that isn't yours from parents that are not able to look after themselves, or their money, properly. Often without them even knowing until it's far too late. Maybe as money becomes tighter for some...but even then that's no excuse!  Just reading about a case locally where a son living in another state stole...yes stole... over a million dollars from his elderly mother. Transferring the money from her account over a period of a few years and also used her debit card in unauthorised purchases for his own use. Leaving her with very little in her bank account to survive. She had no idea until it was almost all gone. Really who can you trust if you can't trust your own family...beyond belief really isn't it but it seems this is a common occurrence. More common than we think....

Peter and Malcolm...

                                                                       End of an era... Today it was something quite different. It was the scattering of a friends ashes, on an outgoing tide,  combined with the ashes of his partner Malcolm.  The two drifting out to sea together on yet another journey. Peter was an older man who, lets say, was at a complete loss when his partner of around sixty years died several years ago. They had spent a lifetime together since meeting in their twenties. They left New Zealand  in 1961 as young men on a lifetime adventure to England together by ship. It was a time when to be two males in a relationship was not understood, was not accepted, as it is mostly today.  Their life took on directions I'm certain would fill a book. Businesses, many beautiful homes t...

Just day dreaming....

  Just a pleasant quiet place I like to sit and ponder on things. Where I've been, where I'm going, you know the usual stuff. Watching the world go by as I sit under the shade of a tree listening to the birds singing and appreciating life around me. It's been a long and often bumpy ride to where I am today and who knows what tomorrow may bring. All good things we hope. That's what I always say anyway...as I buy another lottery ticket!😊 There always has to be something to look forward to or what's the point.  There is so much sadness in the world right now I know. Has there ever been a time when there wasn't any sadness in the world. If there was, I can't remember just when. There are people still preaching the end of the world as we know it and the doomsday clock, as it's called, is ever approaching the bewitching hour. Should we be nervous...should we be scared? I guess so but we seem to have been living "on the edge" for so long now I guess ...
