Re LL, I can always make an appointment for a scale and polish. LL suggested it!

Very true FFP.

While on this sad subject, in Stowmarket Cemetery there is an inscription on a headstone that I have never forgot.

Look on dear friends as you pass by,
As you are now so once was I
As I am now you sure will be
So be prepared to follow me.

No, didn't go there, no time. Did have a rather nice Hot Choco in Borough Market though and I had a pint while the Mac was being attended to. Bunch of Grapes in Thomas Street, traditional London Pub, around 2 pm and was busy.

This is an old poem and often repeated when someone has died. Very apt though and so no apologies for repeating here. I think I would be right in saying there would be something wrong if Mrs Ig was not struggling and finding it difficult. Better to show she is struggling than to bottle it up inside and put a false front on her feelings. It takes time.


When I come to the end of the road,
And the sun has set for me,
I want no rites in a gloom filled room
Why cry for a soul set free?
Miss me a little – but not for long.
And not with your head bowed low.
Remember the love that once we shared.
Miss me, but let me go.
For this is a journey we must all take,
And each must go alone.
It’s all part of the master plan,
A step on the road to home.
When you are lonely and sick at heart,
Go to the friends we know,
Laugh at all the things we used to do.
Miss me, but let me go.

Evening all just back from London again.

ig sorry to hear the news, have to say JJ's comments can not be bettered.

[ignoble] 24/1/2019 16:47

That is good news although visits to LL will be somewhat less frequent
I feel a toothache or bite adjustment coming on !

Good Afternoon.

Got my new crown fitted and all is well.

Maybe I should get a bottle of Bombay Sapphire just in case.
Funny , to my mind , gin should only come from a dark green bottle.

Hey Ho

Thank you Sir Scratch
Fortunately she slipped away peacefully.
Funny how you get a premonition a few days before.
Something goes on that we don't quite understand.
My wife has gone into "cleaning mode"
I somehow thought that is how she would handle the situation.
Usually that is her release rather than a large gin and tonic !
Maybe that comes later.

Sorry for yours and Mrs !g's loss Ig, it's always difficult when someone we love passes. Be at rest to know she is no longer suffering.

[ignoble] 24/1/2019 08:02

Very kind words ,JJ
My thanks

Very sorry to hear of MiL passing. Never a good time really but around one's Birthday is not good at all. Dementia is horrible and as you say terribly distressing.
Thoughts are with you and especially Mrs Ig. However much you know its going to happen one day it does not make it any easier when they do pass away.
Think of the good times and the laughs you had together over the years, most important to remember the good stories and let her live on in your memories through those good recollections.
She is at peace now and no longer fighting her dementia, and maybe now is a time to celebrate her long life she did have and the best years of her life.

Japanese intrusions are all the rage these days.
( I think you thinking of Japanese tea infusions - Ed)

[ffp] 23/1/2019 20:28

[ignoble] 23/1/2019 19:23
