Army Garrison Gates now open for the first week of February 2016

[IamMary]

I dunno, I love my early mornings when no one is about. I find them peaceful. I will go back to bed for a nana nap later on though

Me too, but the kids are getting later and later going to bed, so we're staying up later and later to have a moment to ourselves. Plus Madam Secretary is very good :happy2:

Morning Army
The joys - get to go to another cemetery today :yay:
My mother wants to go see her mother's grave - hasn't been in 30 years - so my brother & I are on Cemetery duty again today.

Still it's fresh air & I love looking at old graves.

I love them too, rain holding off so get moving. Its obviously a different cemetery?
She must be back to herself a bit?

[IamMary]

Must dash, back later...

Morning Satz, the weather here is not great for grave watching :haha:. Hope its better with you.

How is old mother Satz and young satz doing ?

Mother is deffo coming back to herself. Has lost some confidence and likes me there a lot these days.
She actually said to DD that I am a different person since I stopped drinking. She never really asked WHY I stopped just accepted it.
Who knew she'd even notice.
We really do fool ourselves that no-one notices.:egad:

Young Satz had another lapse last Sunday - but back on the wagon again.
He was coming home to collect car & got off bus and into pub.
Something must have clicked and he left pub & came home. But he had the taste for it and asked should he go down and listen to music later. I said no / his father said no - he argued the point - but didn't go.
Small steps I suppose.
He is now in a relapse group.
I am going to Concerned Person's group each week and the mantra is 'detach with love'...... I've yet to learn what that actually means -short of throwing them out to die in the gutter.
Dublin's city streets are full of these cases.

Satz, so happy your Mum feels better, and Jacks hope your tea goes well...the flowers look gorgeous, I'm sure, and with your baking skills....well...what could go wrong?

Mary darling, yes, I passed out last night after anothe sleepless night and an early morning business meeting.

Hiya Starty...busy as usual, I see!

OH Oney....where are you?

Flying up to JHB in 2 hrs....Erin's 2nd Birthday and on the 19th, a weekend seminar. Can't wait...so excited!!

Morning, Army! Came across this info for an AF comedy performance in your part of the world. Possibly you can Google for other dates and places? Sounds like great fun to me, and would love to get together with you all and attend, if that were possible. It's been awhile since I wet myself laughing.

Fancy a good laugh to brighten up the winter nights? Why not come along to Alcohol Concern’s Dry Humour night next Wednesday, February 10th, at the Leicester Square Theatre in London? Jo Brand and Paul Tonkinson will be performing (amongst others)

Thats funny, isnt it Satz about your mam noticing.. Cant say my mother has noticed really, I dont mention it, Im just always driving. Meeting them for a bite before the party and Im sure there will still be the same questions all over again - why are we not sharing a bottle blah blah blah. Funny thing is that noones drinking at the party so Im really looking forward to it later!

Hope things fall into place for young Satz. I feel for him, I knew I was not a normal drinker 10 years ago but was not ready to take it on then. He will get there.

Sunny - have a safe trip and a blast at the birthday party!!

[JackieClaire]

Thank you Pie, I'll have a look to see if they're touring.......I way up in the North of England.........bit far for a night out

It all went swimmingly. Ma and Pa in law were deeeeeeeeeelighted with a capital D. Just back from cake and coffee at Mr JC's sister's house and now going to watch the England v Scotland Rugby game.

[JackieClaire]

Crikey, glad that's over. Don't think I took a breath for the last 10 minutes

[satz123]

Where's everyone ?:headscratch:

[sunbird2]

Here I am, Satz, in Johannesburg!
