    Up at the Blanchardstown Centre getting a bday pressie for my OH. Off to Mayo for the weekend.

    Got some sad news earlier - my cousin in England phoned to tell me that our eldest cousin, also based in England, passed away yesterday - he was just turned 60 and had a series of health issues in recent years. It was a massive heart attack.

    I feel most sorry for his sister, my cousin Karen - over the past decade she has lost her entire immediate family. :(

    Debating with myself whether to fly over to Birmingham for the funeral or not...

    Honestly, I wouldn't. I don't think your cousin would hold it against you and the deceased probably wouldn't want people put at risk for their funeral. Seeing how Super-Saturday went down over there I wouldn't be surprised if it's lockdown again before long.

    I'd walk out of there until that was sorted. That looks like an infestation. Disgusting :(

    Sorry to hear your news, Jupiter.
    Risky going to the UK at this time, you could get stuck over there if a lockdown happens.

    To thine own self be true

    Jupiter I reckon go over in time when things are a bit safer and make a big fuss of her. She'll need people like you in the future..

    Seriously, that's not acceptable for a work environment.
    If that was your home, you'd have it sorted pronto.

    Thanks for the words of condolences.

    My deceased cousin Mark and I weren’t really that close and although I am very saddened I’m not devastated TBH. Mark had a lot of health problems (ironic as he was a doctor) in recent years so it wasn’t a real shock either.

    It’s my cousin Karen I feel the most sorry for. In 2012 her brother, my cousin Paul, collapsed and died at the age of just 45 whilst on the cross trainer at his gym. Just three months later their mother, my aunt Marie, died of a huge stroke. She was in her mid 70s. :(

    Karen does have a husband and two grown up sons, but to lose your mother and both brothers in the space of 8 years is utterly devastating. Her father, my uncle Vincent, died very young of a brain tumor back in 1981 when I was just 6 years of age. It was the first funeral I remember from my childhood.

    I’ll discuss the travelling to the funeral with my OH when he gets back from work.

    Sorry for your loss JK, does the UK have any limitations on the number of people who may attend a funeral, would you even be permitted to attend if you were to travel?

    Have the cutest new addition to the family. The missus was out for a walk this morning with the kids and came across a baby hedgehog squealing on the road. She rang our vet for advice and looked up some stuff on the internet since. So currently he's in the garage in a big box. I picked up some pine shavings on the way home from work and I've built him a little cardboard house inside the big box that he can crawl into and he can burrow away in the shavings aswell. He's been walloping cat food all day too. We're going to build him up for around a month and then release him into the wild. He's so cute altogether. Don't know if he's a boy or a girl yet as don't want to stress him by checking his belly. Any name suggestions? I'm going with Harry currently :D

    She'll have others at the funeral itself, perhaps a bit of time on the phone/Zoom when everyone has gone home would be of more utility, support-wise?

    I'm not the best at uploading pics as in I've never uploaded on boards. If someone can explain and it's really not annoying to do then I will.

    I'm not the best at explaining but say you reply to this, the window you are typing in has a little picture beside a picture of a globe, click that, search in your pics and that should attach it

    The only named Hedgehog I knew was Gregory Grainog from Bosco. A claymation Hedgehog. Many years ago I had one that rocked up to the back patio door every night. I'd open the door and it would curl into a ball. Started leaving out catfood and every night it would rock up and stuff itself, so Gregory it was named.

    This is him asleep in his wee house just now. You probably won't see him in beyond the face cloth.

    Have you ever been at work and you feel like several people are deliberately attempting to drown you out of conversations and general socialising? There's a few people who are genuinely confident and will speak to everyone equal and then there's the nasty insecure crowd who need to dominate to feel good. I try to rise above it but it's hard when people just fall in line with where the flock go.
