Sharpie Posted March 6, 2022 Share Posted March 6, 2022 Its a beautiful day here in sunny Kelowna, 9 degrees, lots of sun, with just a slight chill in the wind. Buds on the trees, signs of spring and summer. I have been in the doldrums for quite a few months now, lonely disheartened, and sad. I went out for my morning walk it felt great, it was like someone had turned a key and I was moving smoother, I stepped out held myself erect, swung my arms and shoulders while humming to myself a medley of marches, pipe band and regimental tunes. i suddenly felt I was Bob Sharp, old guardsman, old Edinburgh polis, and the husband of the late great love of my life Esther. I knew none of the Bob Sharps in those phases of history would appreciate the sad sack I was becoming, well its finished, no more moping, no more woe is me , appreciate the sixty years of love, travel, success, children , we enjoyed, pick up your ass and get back to living, you will be a long time deid and its a simple process, no need for practise, I apologise for this, but quite frankly you are the only group of people I have that I feel free to express my feelings,so thanks for this and please ignore as soon as it becomes too much which should be about three words.

Bob, I've been meaning to say something for almost 9 years, and I've never been able to figure out the right way to say it. I still can't, but I'd better get on with it anyway. Because of fate, the place where I live, while thousand of miles from you, is not actually that far from you. The fact that I'm close by is probably of no particular help to you, but if there's ever anything I can do for you in this corner of Ireland please let me know. Best wishes, always.

I could sure have used that in 2013 when Esther and I were in Gorey for Deborahs funeral. We visited Dublin a couple of times, and despite the sad reason for the visit loved what we seen of the Country and people. The Irish hr husban being one done her excellent, they had a service on her favorite beach, sang Irish songs, then the took a portion of her ashes and spread them on her beach. Esther and I took the main part of the ashes and our Deborah being a nomadic traveller we poured them into the sea so they could be taken wherever . She would have been happy with that.

RobboM Posted March 7, 2022 Share Posted March 7, 2022 It was a blue skies and sunshine day here on Sunday too Bob and it doesn't half improve the mood. Day started -4c and finished the same but in between times gave us a cheery day of sunshine. Didn't do much with it. Helped my laddie power washing his steps, watched highlights from his football match, a shock win for Blackburn over Penicuik, made a pizza to share with Mrs RobboM, had an email out the blue from a room mate from University promising photos to follow and read everything I could find about Hearts draw up at Tannadice.

It sounds like you are giving off an aurora that people are responding to.👍😁 I don't know about an aurora, but I do recall my wife requesting information about something I was emitting, it was something like "you dirty bugger have you farted again, pig!!" the woman had a way with words. It was strange hearing a German descent Saskatchewan girl when she came out with as she did sometimes a very Scottish accented reprimand to her habitual offender. 4 minutes ago, Sharpie said: \ 5 minutes ago, Sharpie said: Actually I think the mask is a helper😃 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've been feeling down on the dumps for a while too, and I've no reason too.
