Long hair both of us!

Jack took this photo!
This is where we are staying while the bungalow is being altered. It has a rather nice little courtyard as you can see here.
The sun comes round mid afternoon & I’m looking forward to warmer weather for reading afternoons.

Three good things:
1. Shopping this morning...the fridge was empty!
2. Our DIL birthday today in NZ. Happy birthday Lesley! Xx😘😘
3. I had my car washed again in the automatic drive through car wash. Quite an unnerving feeling....had to be done though as where my car is parked at the moment it’s getting filthy! Unmade road but cars cut through & the dust is flying all over it!

Very sad news today too. Some of you may remember my cinema friends grandson Charlie who had the brain tumour. Sad to say he died last evening surrounded by his family. It must have been quite sudden in the end as he was as usual last weekend when I talked to Dot! The tumour was so aggressive & had multiplied from a clear scan to 9 tumours two months later. A blessing it was quick but they are of course devastated....such a brave boy of only six years old.

A lovely shot of you both - you have a sheltered corner there facing the sun Pat . Yes we all seem to be "long-haired lovers from Liverpool " at the moment waiting for that magic moment next week when we can have an appointment with the hairdresser - Lynne ,my hairdresser phoned me about a fortnight ago - so I have booked her for the Wednesday morning - the day she usually comes to trim my hair !

[Alison Tomlin]

You both look very comfy. And I see an idea there for stopping Bessie digging up my bulbs. Plant them above dog height.

[Pat Knowles]

@beryl Good stuff Beryl. I am in on Monday at 1pm. Eyebrow lady has booked me in for a week on Tuesday too so I’m relieved!

[Joan Robillard]

Looks like a lovely place to read

[Pat Knowles]

@fueast Yes it’s rather a nice box of daffodils! They are gone now...I snipped their heads off after the cold got them.

[Pat Knowles]

@joansmor It’s lovely but so many dog walkers going by I can’t concentrate! 🤣🤣

[Bep]

I read your sad news about Charlie with tears in my eyes. Wishing your friend and family much strength.

[Hazel]

You look comfy there. So hard to imagine the distress of little Charlie's parents.

[carol white]

A lovely cosy corner.So sad to hear of the loss of your friends grandson.

[Judith Johnson]

Oh how tragic, and only 6. It just doesn't make sense. My thought and prayers go out to the family. A smiling photo of you Pat

[Barbara Paquette]

What a lovely place to sit! So sorry to hear about Charlie, I can’t even imagine.

[Beryl Lloyd]

So sorry Pat !I didn't see your last paragraph . So very sad for the whole family !

[Dawn]

A lovely spot to read/ relax sorry to read of your friends loss

[Judith Greenwood]

Lovely shot of the girls! I saw your post about brave little Charlie- unimaginably painful and so hard for grandparents upset for their children as well as their own loss.

[Lou Ann]

I do remember Charlie. I’m so sorry, bless his little heart. This is a sweet photo of you and Connie, at least your long hair has been manageable, it looks very nice. If you are like me though, you prefer short hair.

[Dianne]

This is a lovely photo. Such sad news about little Charlie - so young and so hard for his family.

[Maggiemae]

Its been a hard fight for Charlie and his family! So cruel.
Your possie looks good and I can see how close it is to the walking track.

[PhotoCrazy]

Wonderful!

[Lady Magpie (Heather)]

I'm the same Pat, but I can't wag my tail to keep cool.

[Kitty Hawke]

Lovely sunny corner.

[Pat Knowles]

@beryl I only remembered to add it after you posted Beryl.

[Babs]

Looks like quite a little sun trap. Connie seems to be enjnoying the sunshine too.

So sorry to hear about Charlie, what a hard life he had and his family too. I did wonder about him a few weeks ago but didn't dare ask. To lose a child is devastating, but to lose one so young is even worse. I do hope he is at peace now.

[Lois]

Lovely sunny spot with Connie!
So sorry to hear of Charlie’s passing. It must be devastating for those of you who knew of his battle at such a young age. Will be praying for comfort and strength the coming days.

[Peggy Sirk]

Delightful shot of you and your buddy! Jack did well.
My heart hurts for the family of little Charlie. I am so sorry that brave little guy lost his fight. Life can be so random and unfair.

[Taffy]

You look so comfy here with the dog. What a very sad narrative though to read that Charlie has lost the fight. His poor family -- I cannot imagine what they are going through.

[Jane Pittenger]

Oh Pat...what a sad sad tale. I can hardly imagine the devastation for the family

[julia]

I some how missed this lovely shot of you and Connie.. looki g great
So sad to hear about Charlie he certainly sounded that he and his family put up a very brave fight.. devastating to all close to him...

[Sarah Bremner]

Lovely photo.
So sorry for Charlie's family. I'm sure they will treasure the memories but such a short time together. 🥰

[GaryW]

Great to see you! I'm enjoying your progress photos on Instagram.

[Monique]

Lovely shot and so sorry to read about Charlie ...

[Boxplayer]

This is a lovely portrait. Very sad to hear about your friend's loss - how devastating for them.

[Allison Williams]

So sorry to read about young Charlie. Especially in contrast to Prince Philip's long and happy life. Sometimes Life is just not fair.
You look lovely, BTW.
