Hi Geoff, thank you for your concern over my near miss.  I haven't driven since it happened and I know the old saying to ' get back on the horse after being tipped off'.  Hopefully I will be able to drive tomorrow.  I am within walking distance to church, but I will drive.  Had to laugh about your 'bad dream'.  I'm not actually too concerned about how L reacts to his father's situation.  If he wants to go and see him more, fine.  I have my life, he's made it clear how he wants to live.  I don't say too much to him about anything, he doesn't really understand my needs and tends to joke about things I say, so I keep quiet.  If he does get more concerned about his father, I know I have BB to talk to.  Plus I have friends at the church.   He retires in a couple of weeks, so I guess he'll spend more time with his parents, anyway.   Again - thanks for your concern.  It's nice for me to know I have my friends.  Have a good weekend.  L Pipsy. xxx

Hi, Geoff, hope you had a good weekend.  I had a great day Sunday.  Drove to church, not a problem.  Had to take two different people home.  As it turns out, they didn't live far from each other, but didn't know each other.  The men shaved for 'The Great Shave', that was fun.  Have a birthday to go this weekend.  Invited L, but he's not interested.  Don't care that much.  He's visiting his parents tomorrow, hasn't said much about it.  They're going to some sort of gym, I think L's hoping to get some tips.  Just hope he doesn't try and get me exercising with him.  Quite happy with my morning walk.  Starting to sink in that we really don't have a marriage.  L says he's happy with the way things are.  I thought marriage meant doing things together, albeit, having your own interests, but still sharing.  My aunt and uncle pretty much did most things together.  Mum and dad didn't really, I wanted a marriage like my aunt and uncle.  Am I wrong to want that?  I'm not lonely, though.  No more so than I was before I met L.  Guess  I'm just being silly.  Take care my friend.  Hope all is well.  I know you've been busy.  Much love P.xxx

dear Pipsy, I may call you the birthday girl with so many parties which is great for you, and when is your birthday.

It's good that you're driving again, and you ask L about going with you to most things, but he always says no, that's his choice, and really if he did go he may may ruin everything which is not what you want.

I have been busy the last 2 or 3 days, how time passes so quickly, as I've been trying to sort out the usage on my mobile with telstra, fingers crossed I have done it.

I soon will be joining you in walking with Mindy (Moo-Moo) or taking her down to the park, and if L wants you to go to the gym you are entitled to say no.

Look after yourself and talk very soon. L Geoff. xx

dear Pipsy, I have replied to you but it hasn't appeared on the All Posts'. L Geoff. xx

Hi Geoff.  Not sure what reply you're talking about that hasn't appeared on All Posts.  Better re reply then, hadn't you lol.  Look forward to walking with you and Moo-Moo, (you may lose her).  I seem to have a natural affinity with dogs.  About birthdays, I'll tell you mine, if you'll tell me yours, fair deal?  This birthday this weekend, he's 60 years young.  Makes me feel ancient ha.  No, I'm not that old - yet.  Life's wonderful for me.  L comes home talking about his day with his family, quite boring for me, but I don't say anything.  I suppose I bore him when I talk about my days with my friends.  We don't seem to have much to talk about these days.  Least we're not arguing, that's something.

Looking forward to hearing back from you.  Much love P. xx

Geoff, quite an interesting discussion with L tonight before he went out.  Seems he had a run-in with m today.  Not sure what was said, but gather m was running me down and L got stuck into her.  First time (to my knowledge) he's ever supported me over her.  I said I'd like to get together with his sister (I used to get on well with her).  L said he'd discussed with her about bringing me to see her new house, she wants to see me too.  Evidently sister is getting fed-up with m as well.  Father not saying anything in m's favor, either.  M also being nasty towards sister and her family.  L thinks m has dementia/alzheimers, possibly.  Do you know much about the condition?  L's not emotionally strong enough to simply walk away from m/d when they start their rubbish.  He tells them off, but stays there rather than leave.  I feel sorry for L, they know he's weak, they laugh at him.  I would just leave, after all, it's their loss.  None so strange as people, eh!!!   Much love P.xxx

dear Pipsy, that's fair enough, my birthday is 5/10/54, but more important I'm pleased  that he stuck up for you.

Do you really want to go and see their house, I'm just scared that m might take this as a chance to lash out at you, and I don't want that to happen.

Yes I have had elderly people, some I have looked after but not 24/7 who have had dementia/alzheimers and it is a sad demeanour when they just lose their thoughts of who they are and don't recognise anyone.

I wonder whether L would get on just with d as m seems to be putting everyone off-side or whether she is becoming ill. L Geoff. xx

Hi Geoff.  My birthday is 27/04/51.  Yes I do want to see their house.  I know sister and brother in-law would not allow m in particular to cause any problems.  L has assured me he would not let m/d know we were coming down.  He knows if he hurts me again, that's IT.  Apparently sister only sees m/d if she has to take them to Dr's.  Brother in-law can't be bothered with m, so he wouldn't even let them know we were coming.  It's a shame how downhill m has gone.  You ask if L would be better off just seeing d, they're a package deal, no d without m.  If anything was to happen to d, m goes into a nursing home, she knows this and she's scared, maybe this is bringing out the nasty side of her.  She has always been negative in thought, she's getting worse.  I don't know whether it's dementia or not.  I thought dementia meant forgetting, m knows who's who, so I don't know.  I think she's just a nasty women who's getting worse.  Have a great day.  Bunch of flowers for my birthday, please. lol.  Love P.xxx

dear Pipsy, well wish I could give you a bunch of flowers and a box of chocolates, and have now written it down in my diary. L Geoff. xx

Dear Geoff, thanks for the lovely thought.  I'll make believe the chocolates, and I love the flowers.

Much love P.xx
