Hi Ted

Had a chuckle about Bill and Amy.

Reminded me of the time when my mum was here too.  She was getting pretty old and unstable so we admitted her to a care home and I used to visit her as often as I could.

I remember going one day and she was lying on the bed fast asleep having a nap.  I didn’t disturb her.  I had my paper so I read that till she wakened.  She had a bowl on her bedside table nearly filled with peanuts - a particular favourite of mine.  Anyway, to cut a long story short I helped myself to one ot two peanuts being sure that she wouldn’t mind as I read my paper.  Eventually when I dipped my hand in for another peanut I realised that there were none left - I had scoffed the lot, so when she awoke I had to apologise.  She said, “Don’t worry son.  I left them there because I’m not fond of the peanuts once I have sucked the chocolate  off “. Euk!!! I know she was my mum, but the thought ………!!!  Anyway she has passed on now but I still miss her a lot. Still that’s life, eh?

Had another chuckle the other day too.  I was walking by the river and I saw a bloke on the opposite bank.  I wanted to cross the river but hadn’t a clue as to where there was a bridge, so I shouted across to him “How do I get to the other side?” - and he shouted back, “You are on the other side!”  Cool eh? Never did find the bridge either.

Anyway, must go.

Speak to you soon,

All the best, Pat.
