My school years and childhood are all a traumatic blur. I don't have any pictures, I don't remember any teachers names. Sometimes I get flashbacks. I will leave that there.

Mags, I would of killed for a chopper bike. I was so envious of anyone that had one.

Forwards, nice to see you as always. Sorry you have had some struggles, I hope you have support.

Hi PJ.

Bim I dreamt I went to Seattle to see you. We went to see a singer where I wanted to buy you a glass of wine until I remembered we are alcoholics. Then we went to your golf course park, fed the birds which was nice but I lost my dogs and my passport. So I guess I am still there.

Happy First Day of Lent. I am giving up alcohol. if you're still drinking & looking for a reason to quit, why not join me?

Thanks for those posts, Magsie and Kaily. Children should be treasured loved and given positive attention but it seems that isn't the stream of events for a lot of us. I guess some people turn mean, some turn to drink and some get therapy. I know that's not really funny but I'm at a point in life where I just understand that I'll never understand and I've stopped trying. It's okay. I'm healthy and well-fed and I give myself positive attention and my friend Kaily is here visiting and I'm not telling her where her passport is..

andyh - I'll quit drinking for Lent along with you. I honestly don't even know what Lent is - and it surprises me that a pagan such as yourself would honor it, but hey.
I say pagan in a loving way, I love all of you and do not care one whit what your relationship is to the great Mystery. I'm not even sure I understand my own beliefs sometimes.

I do believe in coffee and cats.

well, I'm giving up for Spring, & the Sturgeon Moon, and the Third Week In September, & all the other days & weeks & months, so giving up for Lent too isn't much hardship. I may not be giving up chocolate rabbits though.

I'm with you on cats

Hiya Weekenders

Manta how’s your new job going? Well I hope?

Willow, are you settled in your new job too?

Bim, I love the cat, so cute and typically cat takes what he wants

Robbie, yes it doesn’t always follow our parents are alcoholics for us to become one. When I was growing up it seemed to be the culture to go to pubs and I found out very early I had a taste for it.

We've got a windy old morning over here with promise of rain. That with lockdown means I won’t be going far today.

See you later xxxx
