Something medium sized and black. I need to narrow it down a bit!

My Rebel 450 was a good size ...and about all I could handle.

Clean knickers and motorbikes, never let it be said we're a boring bunch.

Although I'm beyond bored, nothing to do and all day to do it. I'll have to hatch some sort of plan for tomorrow because I don't have much work to do.

Glad you're better, Jupiter!

At home, feeling pretty upset.

My cousin phoned me earlier to tell me that her sister, my cousin Claire, is terminally Ill in hospital and will be transferred over to hospice care tomorrow.

Because of the Covid-19 restrictions, the hospital are only letting one family member in at a time - my uncle and aunt have already both been in to see her - she has had four serious heart attacks already in the past 10 days and they have been told that it is now only a matter of weeks at the very most.

Claire has had chronic long-term health issues for most of her life and was on the waiting list for a kidney transplant - but given the serious turn for the worse in the past 10 days, she will not now be a candidate for transplant as she is too far gone.

My OH and I visited her last summer and I gave her a piece of art that I painted for her- she was so pleased to get it. Given what has now happened, I am so glad to have seen her last year. Claire just turned 50 in July. A very good, decent person who has a calm and gentle way about her.

My cousin told me that it would be very unlikely that the hospital or the hospice would allow relatives other than immediate family to see her given the restrictions.

So there it is - one cousin on my mum’s side of the family lost in July and another - on my father’s side - with just weeks to live.

Couchside. I met the nicest people today. They were so warm and welcoming to me. They are going to be part of my life so am only delighted

Will have to take a trip down to no mans land in a few days see how the daddy is managing. The Covid restrictions have taken their toll on him. He's a perfect example of how some things can be worse than an illness.

@Jupiter

@Jupiter, you've been through the mill I'm sorry to read your sad news. Feel free to drop me a message anytime x

Route 66 on a harley was on the bucket list.... I'm nothing if not original

Went to a "bike week" in the States... That was an experience.. Good craic, though one of the most funniest bits was seeing a horse walk into a bar.... Seriously only in the States.... It was a police horse and I think there may have been rival gangs, but still good craic

I know it's not the same but could you do a zoom meeting when your other cousin visits her?

At least you'd get to chat.

Look after yourself. X

Deskside - soon to bed. Tired and tired.

Sorry to hear about your cousin Jupiter. I'm getting to the age now where life is no longer taken for granted - I treasure each day, and a life can be lived there too (I'm sure your cousin has done this, illness focusses things) - it's just such a f*cker that covid is robbing the family of closeness at this time. It's something we will all need, but we all don't get near the end.

That's tough Jupiter. Very hard to know a loved one is fading and not be able to see them and share your love for them one last time.

The zoom call or even a phone call is a good idea, you could let her sibling know it's something you'd be willing to do if she wants to and is able.

Bedside, heading to zzz soon,
Jupiter, you're really having a tough time, she's in my prayers, take care of yourself.
Night all
I second the phone call or zoom idea

@JK, sorry to hear your news, hang in there.

I hate these middle of the night phone calls from the Cook Islands or similar, I know that they want me to answer so that they make money, but at 4am, they are annoying.

Breakfast and work time for me on what appears to be a beautiful clear blue sky day.

MzMurfy

Am I the only one delighted that the weather is wet and moody today? It makes me so excited for autumn. I hate summertime.

Sitting here debating whether to do my shopping straight after work this morning, or have a sleep and then go.

Sorry to hear about your cousin JK. There is always someone about here if you need a distraction chat,


Deskside, want to be back pillowside.

Bedside , with Tae and toast.

Deskside, thinking what I need to get done first today.

Thank you all so much for your kind words of support and sympathy. They really mean a lot to me.

I will have to phone both my sisters this morning to tell them the sad news. Not looking forward to it...
