Just got back from Manchester Airport, dropped my lad off and stayed with him through check in. He's off to Thailand for a month, doing some volunteering and a bit of a holiday too. He's never been away on his own before and if you saw the state of his bedroom and car, you would know why I feel anxious. Proud of him though
Awwww know that feeling clarkee
About this time last year I was putting my wee baby girl on a plane to do volunteering in Fiji. Once she'd travelled to the tiny remote island I didn't hear from her again for 3 weeks....I was really anxious cos it was her first time away on her own & seemed absolutely clueless about loads of stuff
Do you know what? When she came home 7 weeks later she was changed. And in a really good way. I was so proud of her and she looked beautiful cos she was happy and confident. The experience enriched her so much and I was stunned listening to her stories about coping with the very different living condition...it gave her maturity and a really wide vision of the world around her, and prepared her for going off to uni as well
Hmmm suspect the art of minimal living disappears as soon as they return back through the door though
lets see, lost my house have to move out at the end of the month ..... child tat credit got cancelled due to their error so lost £440 a month until its sorted, Bike hasn't sold so had to sell my guitars instead... knee injury still not getting any treatment so changed my doctor.... the sun went in and the rain came back so no all in all not a lot to smile about this week ... but ....... Life isn't as bad for me as it is for some people, despite everything and if it all goes to poo I still have the bike for now so can escape even if it is on my own . If I have to suffer the pain anyway may as well be in pain doing something like being out on the bike eh ?
I had my shoulder op last year they removed some of the damaged bone and glued the rest back together but I sympathise with you for what you are suffering now .....
RADICALRABIT, Bloody Hell! you have some REAL reasons not to be happy at the moment, mate. I sincerely hope that things take a turn for the better for you, in the near future. Enjoy your bike while you can and I salute you for seeing something positive amongst the rest of your woe's. Take care mate
Hearing from a long lost friend that her sibling had passsed away

Going to the surgery yesterday for a routine diabetic check, complaining of chest pains, and finding myself in hospital for the rest of the day hooked up to a heart monitor!
But every cloud...
At one point I was being examined by a sister, a nurse, a nursing assistant, two student nurses....and the doctor was female as well!
XK !

Take it easy mate, we've a Farmyard to do yet
Get well soon

Having to cancel my planned ride to Matlock and round Derbyshire
Due to some nasty virus I've collected from someone
I wouldn't want to pass it on to anyone I care about
So I think it best to stay home and shake it off
Well - my sympathy goes out to all of you who are skint, in pain or heart-broken (one way or another). Especially RAD - who seems to have all three conditions
As per usual - plenty of support on here though - so keep coming back to feel the warmth that I appreciate so very often too .... Like BOBKAT says - it all just runs uphill at times.
