Re: Moans and Pet Hates part 8

Well my father finally passed away this afternoon. It wasn't nice watching him slowly fading away over the last week in particular but at least he wasn't in too much pain or discomfort at the end and we're only too well aware that many people aren't quite so lucky. Anyway he made it to 92 and in his own words it was a good innings...

Bye Dad.x

Re: Moans and Pet Hates part 8

Condolences. Happened to me a year ago. No matter how good a life they've had and how long they've lived, its as if a part of you has gone. Its a cliche, but time is a healer, memories of them will eventually be happy as well as sad.

Sad to hear your news.You must have a lot of happy memories from those 92 years to take with you which must be some consolation at this time.

Re: Moans and Pet Hates part 8

So very sorry for your lose Osem.

My moan and pet hate, had a cracking day out on the motorbike on Sunday, down to Thirsk, up over Sutton bank to Helmsley, Pickering and then onto Whitby.

Parked up at the Whistlestop Cafe, had a cup of tea. Got my gear back on. Went to swing my right leg over the bike, my back locks up and i fall over backwards in slow motion comedy style.

Two nice people helped me back onto my bike, rode home in excruciating agony. now in excruciating pain & taking painkillers like they're going out of fashion

Re: Moans and Pet Hates part 8

Well the funeral date's been set for a couple of weeks and that'll properly signal the end of an era. It wasn't always a trouble free relationship as my father and I were poles apart in many ways but I admire what he managed to achieve through sheer hard work and with precious little help from the welfare state or education system along the way. I must admit that, during my childhood I greatly resented the second hand clothes, lack of holidays etc. etc. but, had my parents not been frugal all their lives, none of us children would've had the help we later did. He was a tough old boot and as infuriating as he often was, I will miss him.
