So much sad news with friends and colleagues of mine,what with me being completely broken with loss of my wee Eddie & now a close friend rushed to A&E last night and a few days ago a colleague who lived in this property dying at age 51,heart rending,and now another tenant being seriously ill,when will it ever end.

With so much illness and sadness on the doorstep,as well as seriously unwell friends further afield my faith is now questionable.😭

I feel this Winter is going to be harsh , grim and unrelenting,and all of us will be touched in some way.

It is not selfish to take care of ourselves,for if we're not well,we can not take care of others.

Hi 👋 this is Shnookie. My condolences on the loss of Eddie. It is definitely not selfish to take care of ourselves. It’s also called self care. I went to a family celebration on Saturday night in Los Angeles, CA and I was the only one out of 150 people wearing a mask 😷. !! My young cousin is in his late ‘20s asked me why I was wearing a mask and had the nerve to tell me that he was Unvaccinated!! I told him that I needed to take care of myself. I live by myself and tho

I’m vaccinated, I haven’t received my booster shot yet. I don’t want to contract a breakthrough variant. I also didn’t appreciate him asking me why I was wearing a mask 😷. People need to be tolerant toward each other. Hope U have an easy day.

Hugs 🤗 S

Some people are so rude and unfeeling,and their unpleasantness throws me. Take care of you.x

One thing that I have found is true is the old proverb of where there's no sense there's no feeling either!

Back in 2019 I became offended when I received an invite to see my parents when my sister had received more off them and I had received an invite after I had complained and I had felt offended!

Normally I love being invited to places even if I can't always go and talked it through with my friends about how this invite had upset me and why and one of them said how the invite had been given to shut me up from complaining and it was what was behind the invite was what had upset me not the invite in itself and how that where there's no sense there's no feeling either!

Its always the way isn't it how loss comes in the same blow!

A few weeks back I was in the canteen at university hospital just before my interview there and was early so decided on a cup of tea and that Whitney Houston song all at once came on the radio and I was like how she was right its always the way everything goes wrong at once!

Im sorry to hear about the seriously ill tenant and your mate getting rushed into a and e as well.

Back in 2017 I had blood clots in my lungs and I had dragged myself into a and e on the bus and the triage nurse had been nice as thankfully I was well enough to have sat in a seat there like you used to do at the doctors before covid came along as some that were really really poorly were on trollies in resus.

That's unfair a heart attack at 51!

Yes that was unfair the loss of Eddie the dog!

I really enjoyed my weekend away to Weston and stayed in a b and b in Upper church road just off the seafront which was a blast from the past and it brought back memories of many years ago of when I first visited the town when I was 20 and life was different back then and how that day I had visited the old lido tropicana on the sea front which sadly is no more and the sea life centre another that is no more and in the afternoon had gone to Cheddar on the bus to the caves there and to the cheese place there and then back to Weston for dinner at the Regents restaurant which is another place that is sadly no more as well.

So many things seem unfair my friend.Oh i love Weston too,until covid and illness i used to go to Weston a couple times a week,but now i just pop to The Range,B&M and Dunelm which is just on the outskirts...And its easy to park,and yes also Cheddar i would go to often,and i hope by next year it will be easier to get around.x

Yes I know those shops in Worle just outside the town.

On Saturday it was ridiculous the amount of queues to get into Bristol!

I really enjoyed walking on Sunday morning just before breakfast at the b and b up worlebury hill and the prom on a circular route passing through Grove Park and the prince consort gardens.

I have been to clevedon to the saltshouse fields and the pier and a, coastal walk to Portishead many years ago.

The dogs are spoilt having such nice places for their walks!

Love ❤️ that U quoted lines from the classic Sinatra song That’s Life.
