I know , but it's still sad seeing regular posters leave , even though I know everyone has the right to do so .

Anyhow , home , just having dinner , chicken curry and rice

I didn't realise he was leaving for good, I just thought he was saying goodbye for the evening. He was one of the first to figure out who my favourite man was

well he still is my favourite man

In front of a fire warming my bones in a nice remote cottage.
Have Jamie Lee Curtis and the Halloween movie for entertainment later.

Where am I.. in my new abode surrounded by boxes (and a glass of rose) Finally shut the doors today on the place I’ve only ever called home for over 30 years. I had been purposely leaving a few bits behind because I never wanted the last day to be the last day, but today it was. The place where I cared for my mam in her final years of life. The place where I had my first ever cup of tea and she her last. It’s funny how a place that was once so full of life, memories, laughter and comfort can quickly become just bricks and mortar once everything is stripped back and irreplaceable people gone. Not sure if I’m doing the right thing yet but sure look. No one ever said it was going to be easy. Cheers anyway! *clinks to a nearby box

After an early start, building a grave yard, baking bread, making breakfast. in town for a bit of DIY pick ups and all the usual stuff like dinner, I'm fit for the leaba,:D Heading for my last beer. The 10 quid pizza and sides deal in Tesco's is well worth a visit. Mrs G and Little G loved it. They are just finishing off the choc fudge cake part. It would feed four no probs.

A Chinese dinner for me after the last beer. Grandee's kitchen has been closed this weekend.:D

Here's to making as many happy memories in your new place.

It really is a family that make a home. It is just 4 walls to anyone else.

Coming back under different names is a very disrespectful act and unfair to the thread in general. But that's Boards.ie for you. No doubt I'll get told off for my opinion and if so, fook em!

Cheers to you Retro , may your new home be filled with love , laughter and happiness , and many new memories created in the years to come xx

Retro I've been there in selling the family home and how different it is - walls of memory but so attachment left - which is both strange and sad - thw good thing is the memories come with you and then you can add new ones - it's kind of exciting - I'm raising my glass back

Purple Mountain · 28-10-2019 10:29pm

Sending love to retro and happy memories of your mam. xx

I'm here sitting in the same room as my mam who's watching Pulling with my Parents.
There's some expressions and shenanigans that I don't even know what they're talking about so she must be flummoxed but in fairness she's very open-minded so taking it in her stride.

Just spent 20 minutes outside waiting for a meteorite to show or anything, alas. Got to bid good evening to the local fox, he's around early tonight must have forgotten to change his clock.
Great post retro, happy times to you ahead!

28-10-2019 11:35pm

Best wishes in your new home Retro,I hope you'll be very happy there.xxx

Couchside with the Glenroes, I've had the laziest weekend ever,there's no doubt about it but I could happily be a lady of leisure for the rest of my life .

Night Seph.. Still listening to Elbow here, feeling a bit melancholy

Pretzill · 29-10-2019 12:16am

It's a frosty starlit night out there. I'm contemplating life and how stars can be little beacons for those once near and now way too far to reach. I often think of my Dad when saluting the night sky - tonight is one of those nights. Night all.

Gremlinertia · 29-10-2019 12:35am

I like that Pretzill, i spent a lot of time staring at the sky at home, must look up more - not while driving kids!. :P

Leg End Reject · 29-10-2019 1:19am

Bedside, going to be a frosty morning.

The Crazy Cat Lady · 29-10-2019 1:45am

Night kids

Remember to look out for cobwebs in the morning outside, utterly magnificent in frost.

Kitty6277 · 29-10-2019 1:56am

Bedside, settled in for the night. Early to college in the morning, not looking forward to the frost early tomorrow

Moomoomacshoe · 29-10-2019 2:00am

In bed at last with cold toes and really missing my toe warmer hot water bottle man right now!
Heading off to sleep feeling very thankful for my amazing friends and family..nothing better than a sleep wrapped in gratitude on this frosty night!!

Ted_YNWA · 29-10-2019 4:37am

Lying in bed awake.

Pesky wind outside is picking up.

smurfjed · 29-10-2019 6:31am

Morning all, getting the Nespresso into me before my office day starts, took the mutt for a drive last night, wife opened the rear seat window for him and it won't come back up and close, so its off to the mechanic.

Looking on the bright side, its 28 degrees so I wont freeze as I drive there.

Gremlinertia · 29-10-2019 6:37am

Smurf you must be close to your holidays now, hope your truck gets fixed before that happens

Coffee time, waiting for florist to open at home so I can get flowers delivered today to my Mam. It's her birthday

Autosport · 29-10-2019 7:38am

Happy Tuesday!!!

Heading to the coalface

qo2cj1dsne8y4k · 29-10-2019 7:41am

Wrecked after good chats with a friend. He is luckiest mans friend first, but we got on really well because he thinks I’m such a liability. I knew a little bit of his history, and that he didn’t really trust anybody but last night we were chatting away and he told me everything that had happened to upset him, stuff that luckiest man wouldn’t even know and they’re good friends. I am really glad this morning that he feels he can trust at least one person.

CrowdedHouse · 29-10-2019 8:27am

....there's a strength in being together like a steel bar that won't bend, never mind the strangers cos I'll always be your friend...

Morning all,

It's a just sunrise now - clearish with light cloud 4C

Kithchenside with coffee...at least it's a short week
