Good morning quick check in while carers are washing Mr A. (So glad I don't drink!!!) I am so tired but also glad to have him home.

Re: International Army September 2020

Bound to be tired...try and grab every little break you can...could you get someone to bring down a proper bed or even a mattress ..guessing a camp bed ain't too comfortable?

Re: International Army September 2020

Thinking about you too [MENTION=22839]brit[/MENTION]. As Molly said, its a special time for you both.

Glad you are home too [MENTION=9094]satz123[/MENTION]! Never a dull moment :happy2:
(Im sort of craving dull moments). How was the rest of the holiday anyway?
Is it really that different here? Im finding everyone wears masks now, its unusual not to see it. It took a while mind you.
Love the SIL stories.

Rest of the holiday was great Mary. I have lots of SIL stories.
I agree on the Irish being well behaved - my point was that so are the Greeks but their livelihood is being unfairly whipped away from them by countries like Ireland not allowing tourists to travel there. Ireland lumps the whole of the thousands of Greek islands together to get their numbers. Keffalonia has had 20 cases in total.
At least England & Wales take the time to differentiate between the different islands.

Hi MsA delighted you have your other half MrA back home. Your time together now is all his & yours - as it was when you first started out :heart:

I am reminded of this song by Christie Moore for some reason:

Morning and waves to the world,
Late this morning as would you believe I was playing hide the chew with the Bess.

[MENTION=9094]satz123[/MENTION]...............good grief the English have got something right :egad:

[MENTION=22839]brit[/MENTION].........hope you're taking time for yourself.

The Oxford vaccine is ticking along nicely again. The glitch they had a couple of weeks ago found an unknown pre-existing condition one of the guinea pigs which he's now getting treatment for. I've got my sleeve rolled up.

Can you just imagine that MsA :egad:

I know it's not a chore but take time for you too. "You cannot pour from an empty jug"
MrA is blessed to be back home with you looking after him. :hug:

only grief I have is teenagers who somehow think they look cool with their nose poking out over the mask!

I'm afraid I'm guilty of that once or twice. Glasses steam up & I can't see or breathe.
Travelling through the airport was very sad. Lovely shops with lovely staff that used to bustle all closed down. Jobs lost.
Then seeing everyone masked - and to think I used to think Michael Jackson or the Japanese looked ridiculous ?
It's so hard too to HEAR anyone properly. No facial expressions makes nigh on impossible to understand anyone.

Now I wish my bloody SIL would get a permanent face mask :haha:
She is soooooooooo annoying. I was hearing her voice even when she wasn't there.
Like that lady you work with Molls - just f*cking irritates me.

I used to tell the lad on the beach to put their sunbed as far away as possible. Two metre rule is good. 10 metres is better.
MrS was annoyed with me - cos of course he wanted his twin close ...... :haha:

I'm glad you're home safe and sound Satz,did you have some fun at least? I too used to think everyone was weird for wearing masks now it's all of us,heck even the homeless people around here are wearing a mask,I'm kinda liking it tho cuz my allergies have been way better, maybe I'll just wear one forever! Have a great day Army folks

Good to have you back Satz, you are bold, might be a bit of a Norwegian in you. They ask when are we getting rid of this two metre rule and can go back to our normal four metres. They are big into their personal space. With a SIL like yours next beach might be an option.

Working day over and just in so need to get some grub.

Goodnight!

Re: International Army September 2020

Thats hilarious Rustop
My kids inherited my spotty complex and wearing the masks all day is creating a challenge for witch hazel! Ah well, better than the alternative.

Good point on the Greek islands, well done over there [MENTION=7008]JackieClaire[/MENTION]!

Drama tonight, my FIL (functioning alco) fell down and couldnt get up. Hes not a very nice drunk, its everyone else fault and way to proud to allow anyone in to help her. MrM happened to pop in so that was that. Just off the phone to MIL and shes v upset. This is not an isolated incident... Told her to pack a bag and let him fend for himself, but as my SIL said, why should she leave. None of us would take him in though.
Remind me, what was it about AL that was so attractive to us all once upon a time??

You're poor MIL. Its a hard one. My mum was a nasty drunk............luckily I worked out when and what times the phone would ring and ignore it........I got slammed by my brother but it wasn't his number she'd ring.
