Hello Army. I had posted this probably more than once in the music thread. I have always been profoundly moved by this performance that I thought I’d share here.

Eric Clapton, Luciano Pavarotti, East London Gospel Choir - Holy Mother (Live) - YouTube

[MENTION=11089]techie[/MENTION]...... How beautiful .....brought tears to my eyes.

Mikey is adorable. He's lying in the kitchen on his new bed. Pets at Home are doing this one in one out shopping but we showed them his passport and told them about his rescue they let us both in with dog. The bank account has taken a hammering today. He's had a face-time with Jenny and the S&H.
The only thing is he's found a gap that he can through to next door's garden..........which he's done twice.
And I am sooooooooo tired.

:hyper: New doggie !!!

I'm in bed - off to have another mad dream. Apparently it's a 'thing' during 'the crisis' that people are having these bizarre dreams. I can only remember the ones I have just before I wake to Rosie sitting at the side of the bed staring at me & muttering about wanting to go out.:happy2:

@satz123..........haven't had a drinking dream for a while. Why not treat yourself to a dream diary and search what is their meaning.

Jacks I don't need a diary - I can just tell yous lot.

:haha:

My mother is having off the wall dreams too, well she remembers them all, I forget mine after 5 seconds.
Its probably not about drinking at all, but fear of getting caught or feeling guilty about something. like eating a little square of chocolate.. the subconscious brain is a mad place.

Great news [MENTION=7008]JackieClaire[/MENTION]! Was it love at first (second) sight?

No snow this morning rustop, loads of wind.
Hows your daughter doing?

Trip to B&Q today. I could have stayed there all day, I was so happy to be in a shop that doesnt sell food.

Night all xx

Re: Army garrison - February 2021

Didn't take Mikey long to find a work-around I see.
Busy finding my own work-arounds with my potential pay out and potential ongoing study options.
Will be back arriver en force soon.

Re: Army garrison - February 2021

Good morning everyone. Wind and rain here today and it has washed all the snow away. How is the new arrival? Will take him a little while to get settled so lots of cuddles. Daughter is sad but has good friends and is meeting them this weekend. Luckily restrictions were lifted so she can go into the city. She has decided to stay there for the time being. Looking at jobs and for a place to live. Hopefully it will all work out. Hard not being able to hop on a plane and be with her but others have it much worse.

Looks like it will be another lazy day.

I'm so sorry your daughter is alone with a sad situation -- it is a very lonely time for anyone who has a problem.. it really is.. but without sounding harsh (I hope) -- as some of you know I have a passion for ancient history - mainly Greek and Roman... and even after years of reading about their lives I still sometimes gasp at situations people were often in -- the soldiers going off to war - leaving wives and children for years and years - in some cases decades - and in extreme poverty... so many things have resonated with me since this pandemic business -- and I wonder... have we all learnt that we need to be tougher? Funerals that can't be attended - our parents/grandparents alone in homes with no visits - it's horrible - but now it's become a part of life?? Maybe it'll make us more appreciative of what we do have rather than what we don't?
My heart was breaking when I thought Joe was going to die and I wouldn't see him again... but that's what it was.. I couldn't do anything about it and neither could he.. so we made the best of it.... phone calls - messages - and in a weird sort of a way it brought us closer...

I hope I'm not offending anyone here - I'm not intending to.. it's just something that's been going round in my head lately... and of course I am somewhat on the spectrum so that is all probably rubbish so again -- just ignore!!!

good luck with the dog Jackie

Re: Army garrison - February 2021

Morning and waves to the world,
2am......I'm on my knees explaining to a Romanian rescue dog under the dining room table that the lully padded dog bed in the kitchen is where he now will sleep at night. I think there's a language problem to start. I don't speak Romanian and he's only got a smattering of English. We got there in the end.

Jacks I don't need a diary - I can just tell yous lot.

That made me :harhar:

[MENTION=8529]mollyka[/MENTION].........ahh Molly, pet. Sorry I crossed posted. You're not offending anyone. I look on you and our Brit as heroes. I can't begin to think of what you both went through and still ongoing.

I've been thinking along those lines myself Molls.
We will emerge from under the cloud of Covid much more appreciative of what we have & also of the simplest of things - like Mers so happy on her B&Q expedition ......
My father used to say in 70's - "what people in this country needs to a good war to appreciate what they actually have."

Mm yeah..my dad used to say the same.. mind you..he was all for conscription for rowdy teenagers as well..so maybe a step too far!!!

Re: Army garrison - February 2021

I'm getting grumpy in my old age. I think maybe I've been working with older folk too much :haha:
But they don't want much - food, bed, chat & what they really want if you ask them is their families to come see them.

I'm fecked after 3 long days of phone, door, Skype, mobile calls, FB calls - up and down an over heated house. Only for Maureen to forget within minutes that she was on a Skype call to Brendan & all the grandkids. ........:cell: ......... <sigh>!!

I'm going to look into a 'Living Will' - not 100% sure what it entails but I want to go with some semblance of Satz still there.

Re: Army garrison - February 2021

Evening folks and welcome to Mikey, he has no idea he has just won the lottery in scoring you guys JC.

Yes the big meeting was about redundancy, Mers. They showed us an organisational chart and we weren't on it. That's how they told us. I actually thought it was quite funny, like something from The Office. Or The Simpsons. Last night I just felt a weight lift off my shoulders. I don't want to work there anyway.
Now I just have to push hard for a good pay out.

That’s a result I reckon Bridgeypoos, an opportunity to do something that makes you happy. Sod it life’s too short to do something that makes us unhappy, we lot should know that better than most.
In other work related news I have spoken directly to the MD who has given me his complete backing, we shall see. Roll on the day when my figures stack up and I can retire while I still have all my own hair and teeth, haha is that too much to ask he ponders....
