good evening all well I have had a very restful day pj day with a little bed rest, not too much as I don't want to stay in bed I might get used to it lol. not had any visitors today I don't think I could have handled them, I have two to morrow two stranglers I was telling you about they are really not my rellies one is the daughter of my late brothers first wife but she calls me her uncle and her partner, he is going to set up my tablet which step daughter gave me for Christ mas I could not do it great to have friends who can do these things and it free lol.
joeva no I was not a market man I was born during the war in Bristol and moved to the south London and east end where I stayed for 30 yrs so they were around me all the time my late brother were toying with the idea of becoming totters cos in them days you could hire horse an cart by the week but they were all let so gave up on that.pity I could have been called Steptoe. was talking to the wife about the silly things she used to do when we first met, she said ah but you would not change me my reply was nah I aint got time to train another wont say what her reply was ex it began withB the wicked witch has not phoned at all today so son is very happy.it is so nice to have him here. well I cant think of any thing else at the mo just thought that I would let you all know I am ok. <3 <3 <3

Good to hear you have had a bit of a restful day Michael. Seems like your wife shares your sense of humour as well. Keep smiling you two. Hope you have a decent sleep and will enjoy your visitors tomorrow. x x

Lovely to hear you have had some rest today Michael and I am from East End. I can also remember the horse and cart delivering the coal. One day the horse got freaked out and bolted, the cart turned over and coal was thrown all over the street. I have never seen so many neighbours out with shovels to feed there roses lol xx

thank you ann yes the horses often got freaked I remember when I was young a horse got spooked and crash through a shop window as I was passing I was eating a blood orange at the time never to this day have touched one dont know you can still buy them. yuk yes she doe have a good sence of hummer mind you if I go to far I know about it lol :-D :-D

Your wife sounds a gem Michael, unlike your d.i.l. It's nice that you have your son with you, and he and you can support each other. I expect his wife is jealous you are getting attention, how pathetic she is. Reminds me of my s.i.l', who cancelled her wedding to my brother when my dad was ill, said she thought it would be too much for him to attend the wedding but really it was because she wouldn't be the centre of attention. They rearranged the ceremony for some months after my dad passed away, close to his birthday. Big top hat and tails do, (she had been married before and had a daughter and they had a son between them who was best man at the age of 8, how daft) I didn't go on principle, not many rellies went either and my Mum only went because she felt she had to.


Make sure you do get some rest when you can but watch those 'stranglers' who are visiting lol they sound ok tho if they are helping you set up your tablet.

Take care

I will delete if you wish.....but after reading some of the posts berating family members and taking into account this thread could or will be read by those left behind......I wondered at the tone in which posters who know nothing of the other people apart from what has been told them.....also.....Is this the legacy that is wished upon those left behind?.....the running down of those who at the moment cannot reply, but may see what is said about them in the future......nobody deserves to be slagged off in print and on the internet where all can read.....or be part of the legacy.......Think on when you write.......I will delete if the owner of the thread asks me to.

EDIT:......this post had been RRed but now re-instated

why has two posts been rrd ?if the two posters would like to pm me with there posts I will read them . it is up to me if the are out of order and ask for them to be removed the comments about dil was only put on by me to try and put across the fact that people in my coindtion I/e terminal illness do not need to much stress . the true fact of my sons marriage is not jelousy but other facts which I was never going to put on here .as its between us as a family to resolve.
:-) :-) :-)

Michael don't get stressed <3 <3 and keep your son's marriage private like you said
it's a family matter <3 <3

Don't worry about others Michael. You have to put yourself first. Take it easy now. xx

thank you all I was only trying to stress that people who are ill in a way shape or form do not need to have negitve vibes . any way my two visitors came today it was as wenot have lost contact the usual banter and micky taking, my tablet is up and running took him three mins he a tenic wiz kid gona keep him on side lol. I have arranged with my son to go out next week to go over the crem to the family plot one last time to say to late brother I will see you soon and to have a drop of paddys whisky waiting. I aint had a drink for 20 odd years but will enjoy that with him. then to take me shopping as I don't want to be stuck in doors 24 /7 he on a weeks holiday so said that's ok what ever you want to do pops just ask but I wont take the mick just a couple of times as he has his own health problems also to decide on his own future plan as to his marriage but I will respect and be there for him what ever.going to rest up for the next few days as the three grandchildren will be coming Saturday or sunday got to be at my best for the little monkeys. love em really. :-D :-D :-D

Hi Michael, I can't remember just what I wrote yesterday now, I didn't say anything untoward as far as I recall but obviously someone took offence altho as you say, if it doesn't offend you it shouldn't matter.

I am glad you are resting between visitors and also that you are making plans to do things, and get out. Your son is a good 'un, hope he feels better soon and can continue to be a support to you and to your wife.

Have lots of fun with the grandchildren when they visit.

Just creeping in quitely Michael in case you are resting .......

Thanks for your reply to my question about being a 'market man'.
I recognised in your writings that your sense of humour was similar to what I have been listening to all my life as a born and bred Londoner :-D

As you said you lived in South and East London for Thirty years I now think of you as an Honorary Cockney! :-D :-D

Glad to hear that you are relaxing more and hope all goes well with the visit from your niece. :-)
