Rocky IV, that's the Russian yes? Sorry you are lonely and feeling emotional. I definitely had a little emotional period early on with thoughts of all the years I had screwed up and so forth.

Manta, hello dear one. Good to hear from you. Emotional time here, too. I am not sure if I have seen Rocky IV or not.

CityBoy, how are you feeling?

Hi manta, I watched Terminator a few weeks ago with Jr RAL. It seemed so old fashioned and I felt very old remembering it when it first came out. Jr RAL enjoyed it though

RAL, I remember when terminator came out as well. Having trouble remembering if Predator came out before or after Terminator. Not going to Google cheat. Going with Predator 1986, Terminator 1987.

SoberLeigh, thanks for asking, I'm fine. Isolation ended this morning. Not a lot of energy yet and very self conscious of being around others.

I hear you cityboy! This week we had a socially distanced mince pie party at the office. None of us could look each other in the eye. Was good but super weird at the same time x

Yes, MantaLady, I hear you. Been there, done that. Sometimes we just need to cry. It's ok to feel sad. Try balancing it out with some gratitude; that always helps me.
(((hugs)))

It’s not just sadness I want to cry over, it’s also joy lol. If something is happy and positive I am a mess lol. The menopause is playing havoc with me. I am a little worried I have a few months at home, staying sober when I also have the change going down is a little overwhelming x sorry to divert to such a lady topic chaps x

I'm pretty sure that drinking would make it worse

Two weeks after ordering them, Billie's new blankies finally came. They are baby blankets and she likes them very much. When I put them on the floor, she immediately started 'arranging' them to lie down on.

Manta, I’m hoping you’re in the land of nod. Sorry you’re feeling lonely and emotional.
I was very emotional through the menopause, as well as psychotic and crazy. I didn’t go and get help from the docs which looking back I wish I had. From being a person who never showed emotions, stiff upper lip and all that, to a blubbering mess. I really thought I was going crazy.
A few women I know took hrt treatment and it made all the difference for them. Might be worth having a chat with your doctor.
Will you be going to your mum’s Christmas Day? The holidays can be hard and with Covid in the mix, doubly so.
I loved Rocky films but didn’t watch them until years later. Like First Blood too.

MesaMan, great link! Such magnificent buildings just wasting away, how sad.

Midnight, your friends must’ve had fun making the video, it was awesome.

Sao, she has a beautiful voice.

Least, lovely soft blankies for Billie, she’ll love them. ❤️

Morning all

Manta hope you feel better this morning, I took HRT for about 3 years and it does help. I had to stop this year due to some health issues. Worth a try maybe...

Good video Midnight, sorry things have been tough again.

My Dad so far has had no side effects from the vaccine.

Daisy looking very much like Basil Brush!

Morning Kaily. Yeah, Daisy does look like Basil Brush. She looks happy too.
Pleased your dad’s ok and has no effects from the vaccine. I guess he’ll have his next one planned for early January.

Yes Mags 7th Jan. After all my efforts he is still insisting on going out shopping on the bus today. Our numbers are 517 per 100,000 so pretty high. I give up.
