Well all set to go to Bury market today, I need new slippers , saw some in an old lady catalogue but pretty sure they will be cheaper on the market and no postage / delivery charges etc.
Can call in the fish market for kippers and M&S for stuff.
A nice round journey BUT son thinks he is being kind in saying ne will take me ,that means parking miles from the market, running after his long legs and not doing everything I want and that has been put off for months!
He means well but I managed perfectly before he came Grrrrrr!
I can do a nice round trip on my own with two bus services covering the same ground ,one clockwise the other anti clockwise ,get on and off as needs be!
He needs to get out too though, hours in front if three computers in a warm room ,they give off some heat and neighbour’s chimney heats one wall as she has her gas fire on all day.
No idea what his plans are ,work will dictate ,he can do it all from home but really needs four computers , but it is lonely and soul destroying in one room to work and sleep.
He did enjoy being at my daughter’s ,with the little ones ,it is lovely but he is not the greatest mixer, does not do acquaintances and very selective re friends,can’t be false you see.
We will have to sort out what he has here and what must go to storage ,there is far too much in his room .
I really think as time goes by he ought to get a place of his own but will be lonely.
He and his brother who lives in Bolton get on quite well but that son has not been really well for ages ,no one gets to the bottom of his illness however he does brighten up when we call ,but he and his wife ,no children , are very insular ,silly really ,one or the other will be left one day and no friends to turn to.
Oh dear , such is life , I wish I could turn the clock back!
Flash Harry is in for another treat for his Birthday in May.
Son who is here saw a “ fishing magnet” a very strong magnet you cast in to water and haul in, often interesting things are attached to it .
A parental control activity obviously .
I would like one of those for my Birthday!
Well just waiting for son’s signal to go then it will be hurry hurry hurry ,oh I wish I was going alone , but the change will be good for us both.
I might return with size 5/6 kippers and some Lock Fyne slippers!
I want to be alone !
Viktoria.
