ramit Posted November 29, 2021 Share Posted November 29, 2021 Spent the day with an old friend who i haven't seen in 30 years. (He moved abroad) He is not in a great way, health wise or mentally and all he has is his aging mother and his two old friends from decades ago. We went to the pool and it was lovely, snowing the whole time and then for something to eat after and chatting, lots of chatting. He told me it was his best day in a long time, that makes me feel good, so it's been a good day. sheeponacid, DarkFruitsRam7, Wolfie20 and 8 others 9 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anag Ram Posted November 29, 2021 Share Posted November 29, 2021 Bought a replacement wedding ring costing £595. Had no idea they were that expensive. Felt sick all day. My wife just found the original and we’ve had confirmation we can cancel the order. ? TimRam and Miggins 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I do recall describing how pig headed people behave, whether you think you tick the boxes or not is for you to decide! Anyway, having travelled from Derbyshire, to Norfolk and then on to Devon, I can confirm that Derbyshire is easily the coldest. On to Cornwall tomorrow and will see how the temperature measures up down there. Work or pleasure? I'm guessing that it's work seeing as tomorrow is Tuesday! Hope you get some time to walk on a beach! We've not been able to get away this year but I would love to see Cornwall next! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We have something nice to eat and drink, chat, laugh, remember old times when we taught together. He never married, looked after his mum all his life as his father died just days before he was born. He has now got type 1 diabetes and I know he misses his mum so much and is quite lonely even though he has quite a lot of friends. I look forwards to meeting up with him as we taught so many years together and were such good friends. We still meet up and carry on our friendship as if we only met up yesterday. So pleased that you both had a good day and the snow must have made it all the more special and memorable. ramit 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Miggins Posted November 29, 2021 Author Share Posted November 29, 2021 So glad that you found the original, @Anag Ram. Mine alas will never be found. I lost mine at mum's whilst cleaning dog sick off the landing carpet. The carpet cleaner and warm water in the bucket caused the ring to slip off my finger and then I tipped the waste water into the toilet and flushed it - then realised my ring was missing. I'm glad that your tale ended happily. ? Anag Ram 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eddie Posted November 29, 2021 Share Posted November 29, 2021 Went to Lidl today to get some meat. Imagine my surprise when I saw that they still had some Brouwerij Van Steenberge boxes (Gulden Draak, Piraat etc). 3 more boxes stashed for a rainy day (snow doesn't count - that's for winter warmers).

Yes work unfortunately, Sunday/Monday Hunstanton, Monday/Tuesday Paignton/Torquay, Tuesday/Wednesday Paignton/Looe. Some lovely places but unfortunately wrong time of the year to be there!

Sufferingfool Posted November 29, 2021 Share Posted November 29, 2021 Lovely walk with my wife and dog in the snow from Darley Park along the river through Allestree Park lunch at the (cough) Joiners on to Mackworth and back to Darley Abbey via Markeaton Park. Even tonight’s match has not dampened the enjoyment. We are so fortunate to be able to walk in such lovely countryside around our City and with the snow on the ground today was particularly special.

JoetheRam Posted November 30, 2021 Share Posted November 30, 2021 Had a hot Toddy and a big slice of Pandoro. At 11am. Felt like I'd won the lottery and retired early. Miggins and Comrade 86 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Miggins Posted February 11, 2022 Author Share Posted February 11, 2022 I know this won't be appreciated by everyone, but we have about 10 antique clocks which, over the years, have developed problems which have seen them lapse into silence one by one. Enter today David who is a horologist who has been mending clocks for 60 years. He has taken two away to work on and the rest are up and chiming away for the first time in about 4 years! He is a 'clock whisperer'! It is so good to hear them again! It has been a good day! angieram, May Contain Nuts, Rev and 3 others 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
