Using petrol is very messy. I hope Bron had a good time. Tomorrow taking Barley for his check up, for when he had his tooth out. A couple of days ago, found a abscess on his gum where he had the tooth out, might have to drain it. It's been very mild today and a bit of rain.

Hi,

Good luck to Barley for tomorrow Logan; strange how there's no waiting list at a vets because customers pay?

Kind regards, Colin.

 

[Logan]

Thanks.No we made the appointment last week. Also he had to wait to have his tooth out, they were busy. Sometimes they'll do it on the same day but, they have to be starved from the night before, after 8pm.

Just heard Rodney Bewes has died.

Hi,

Thanks for your update Logan. When we had a cat we could always get straight into the vet without any problems at all.

Sorry to learn Rodney has passed away.

Kind regards, Colin.

Hi,

Two days with two lots of bad news Logan; firstly Rodney Bewes and now sadly David Cassidy. They say bad news comes in threes; I hope not.

How these famous people live though; from the very top to the very bottom and many becoming dependent on alcohol or drugs. At a concert a young girl got killed and 800 injured due to a crush and this badly affected Cassidy. (London White City Stadium May 1974). I've just been looking at Cassidy's profile and by the 1980' he stated he was broke; Cassidy was arrested and even spent time in jail due to being intoxicated committing motoring offences; one of the arresting officers was called Tom Jones which Cassidy joked about saying "What's new pussycat" whilst he was being arrested. In 2015 he filed for bankruptcy and sadly he was also suffering from dementia; he died aged 67.

Thanks alp; yes another new toy to play with but not for another 7 months because we seem to suffer 9 months winter and three months bad weather each year living here? Today is normal being a wet; windy black hole so Gale and Blackie are present doing their thing as usual.

Kind regards, Colin.

Yes, that had a profound negative influence on his life!

@Colin somebody died who played in AC/DC. Can't remember the name.

Got back from the vet at 11am. It wasn't on the gum,it was in the side of the mouth by the gum. Said it was a reaction from the op. Got another weeks worth of antibiotics and go back in a week. He's not bothered about it at all.

Hi,

Thanks for your update Logan; I bet Barley loves you.

So Logan; this must be the three; Malcolm Young; Rodney Bewes and David Essex two of whom had dementia; as I become older it seems more of my generation die and the ones surviving are discussing their medication as I queue in our local post office. How sad it is that so many spend the biggest part of their life grafting for others only to die shortly after retirement.

What an horrible day it is here today with Gale rattling everything and it being another black hole; everything was soaking wet outside early this morning putting the garden out of bounds so I've had a lazy day; if it's the same weather tomorrow I'll spend the day in the workshop which will feel strange after I've spent the last months in the garden. No frost all week but frost is forecast for Friday morning when I do the shopping first thing; everythings normal though.

Kind regards, Colin.

 

[Logan]

Thanks @Colin and thanks for the link. But it was David Cassidy who died, not David Essex.
It's been very very windy here too.
Haven't had chance to do anything outside.

 

[Colin]

Hi,

Many thanks Logan; apologies to David Essex whom is still very much alive and kicking.

4:30pm and already dark outside; Blackie is back and Gale is in full force as usual; I hope the roof remains on the bungalow tonight.

Kind regards, Colin
