Already? The orbit around the sun has speeded upā¦Happy Birthday Sotonian Astro-Pilot.
I once put a Facebook status up quoting the AC/DC lyrics āOn the day I was born a rain came down. There was trouble brewing in my hometownā
My mum piped in with āActually, son, it was a lovely day when you were born. Sunny in Southampton. Easter Sundayā.
So yes, Jesus Pap could be more than an exclamation from a shocked or exasperated Sotonians poster.
I was born on Good Friday
Today?
Fuck me youāre precocious.
It may have gone over my head
But surelyJesusās Birthday is 25th December
and he was murdered on Good Friday.
Just saying like.
Another resurrection denier.
Anti semiteā¦
Happy belated birthday KRG!
Not a good one. The previously on the fence, just about Southampton, Young Adult #1 is now a confirmed Red. Her boyf is a Red. Her mum and sister are Reds, and Liverpool are presently ripping Roma apart 5-0 at Anfield.
There was no way I could fight all that off, people, although youāll be pleased to know that I rather bitterly included a picture of Theon Greyjoy in the Facebook FamChat.
Small update on my Mum.
As you may know last few weeks I had a bag packed waiting for THAT call.
Anyway family sought out a different Doc who changed her meds so yesterday she was much more with it and we went to one of those chain pubs for lunch.
2nd day in a week she had been able to leave the house.
Stayed overnight with friends and had a few hours with her today. Not a relapse but she was not good.
Absolutely heartbroken. Feeding her some toast & Marmalade watching her sleeping and then.
Saying goodbye and giving her a kiss.
I did fucking well to drive to Stansted and head back to Poland utterly broken.
Now suiting at the in laws on the balcony with my favourite Vodka praying she is still around on my next trip.
My Brother Sister and the new Carer who started today are absolute fucking heroes.
Teenage Mutant achieved his PADI open water diving certification today- heās pretty chuffed and so are Mrs C_S and me. Nice to see him have an interest that gets him out of doors and isnāt online gaming related.
Cracking hobby, hope he goes onto do more. Advanced open water, wreck and nitrox courses pretty much open up most recreational dives. Rescue diver is good fun as is search and recovery where you get to piss about with lift bags
Congrats!
Got to float around with 2 30ft whale sharks on my first dive after passing my PADI.
Instructor had done 80 dives on the same spot and not seen them so we really lucked out.
Yeah heās planning to, after getting a bit more experience.
If you have asked me that heād want to dive when I first took him to parent / toddler sessions at the local pool I would have said no way - heād could only sink like a stone. Mind you thatās probably why he likes diving.
Young Adult #2 has four A levels to her name. She got Bās for everything. Her sister got a couple of Aās, but only did three. Naturally, weāre all very proud.
The school want to pay to get two of her grades re-marked. They reckon sheās been done up. Sheās made up though. That girl aināt leaving Liverpool. Sheāll end up going to Liverpool Uni when she finally decides and she can get in anytime she wants.
Partner had an interview today and heās been offered a new role. It is a step up. I knew heād get it. Now just need to have some of his ability to do well in interviews rub off on me.
Teenage Mutant passed his driving test today.
I have put him on the car insurance on the understanding that a request to drop off / pick up me and Mrs C_S from the pub at any time we choose is non-negotiable
