BaaLocks Posted October 4, 2021 Share Posted October 4, 2021 Just making my first business trip since the world started coughing - logged into my airline and forgot I have enough miles for two flights to New York, which was nice.

I'd settle for just one trip to New York in a lifetime. What an experience that would be! BaaLocks 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Miggins Posted October 9, 2021 Author Share Posted October 9, 2021 I've been feeling a bit low these last few days so I decided to set myself a project to decorate our kitchen. Today I painted the kitchen ceiling and I'm already feeling more positive. Not exactly a special day but I hope that it is a positive move towards future motivation! I look after my mum 4 days a week and after teaching for 31 years and then working in a garden centre tending plants for 10 years I sometimes feel a bit 'adrift'. I still need to feel that I am a 'cog in the machine' and so today was a good day. ketteringram, Mucker1884, Inverurie Ram and 3 others 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mucker1884 Posted October 15, 2021 Share Posted October 15, 2021 Bullying, cajoling, and dragging my 90 year old father in law (aided and abetted by his daughter... the lovely Muckerette) out of the house (which he didn't want to do), for the first time in weeks, and out for a test drive (Which he didn't want to do) on a mobility scooter (that he didn't want) only to witness a massive grin (the first for a good few weeks), receive a heartfelt thanks and a hug (Ilson men don't hug? Pfft!) , and congratulate ourselves on a job well done, as he sits excitedly awaiting delivery tomorrow! Today has been a particularly good day, despite my wife appearing to be quite the bully, when she wants to be! I know different! Good on her, I say! ?

Sometimes it's just the effort which is too much for the elderly, but once they have made the effort with some aiding and abetting, they have such a wonderful experience which is the stuff memories are made of! What a good day you have all had and I really hope that your father in law gains a new lease of life with his mobility scooter!! Well done, Mrs. Mucker.

We all have the stubborn in law stories as we get older, those of us who are lucky to still have them around mind. I keep thinking that I will not be like that when I hopefully get to that age, but I think it’s inevitable. Angry at the world, nobody understands, what do they know? It’s really nice to hear that you’ve improved his life via persistence. Well done to you two! ?? Miggins, Mucker1884 and Rev 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ramit Posted October 30, 2021 Share Posted October 30, 2021 Our son officially received his first Dan in karate today. It's been a long slog, what with Covid and his Sensei being a Scot who has not been able to travel when needed. Out of the group of about 20 who started together as little kids, only 2 remain now. Am bursting with pride. Miggins, DarkFruitsRam7, Pearl Ram and 3 others 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tyler Durden Posted October 31, 2021 Share Posted October 31, 2021 Been off work for over 2 months with things being a real struggle one way or the other. Ran nearly 3.5 miles for the first time in about 5 months wasn't easy and had to walk for a couple of times but did it.

Only messing with you buddy! Not exactly a lot to be cheery about from a Derby perspective, least until we're out of admin. I'm trying to steel myself to get back to the gym myself for the very same reasons. I know the first two weeks will be hateful but the benefits will come soon after. Anyway, well done mate!
