out on my permission

[iworkwhippets 13,244]

First time out since January I think, just not had the heart, no dog, its not the same, anyways what a lovely day, I couldn't miss the opportunity, so ventured off out to the next county on some of my permission,  and do you no summat which I cant understand, I couldn't wait to get back, absolutely gorgeous it was, im now sat here wondering what the feks going on, well its the very place I am at the moment, I don't wanna be here anymore, I need to bugger off now while ive still got some kind of health, its not the same coming home to an empty house. and yes I no, wherever I go, the empty house will still be in front of me, but I need to move asp for my health, so now I ponder on were to begin, im a man of simple pleasures just a roof and a dog, and im happy

Good to hear you're getting back out mate, cannot beat it

[DIDO.1 22,865]

Get to Thailand!

Get yourself off on holiday when you can Keith - go for something a bit different. 

 .......... if you don't like it, you can always come back home or move on somewhere else

 

One of my old customers was an old fella, well into his 80s, he'd been on his own for a long time - he used to go and stay with a woman in some oriental country sometimes. 

His words were that he was 'past all that funny business' - he just liked having a nice lady to take care of him for a while and show him around the bits that tourists don't go to.

 

I probably haven't repeated it very well but, it came across genuine and, it made him happy.

Go for it mate, I,m in the middle of rolling my last dice and hopefully will be living on a narrow boat by the end of the year, would settle for even less if I never had a woman to please,  would love to F,R,O in an old D series merc camper or even a horse drawn vardo and just see were life takes you, we have done all the things were meant to in life by now so if you still can enjoy a bit of what you fancy, a roof a fire and a dog would do for me

Cant thank you enough for your concern matey, I will let you into a secret now, I spose I will get slated for it but here goes, not after sympathy or out like that, those days are gone, I just wanna spend the rest of my days we a smile on my face,   so ok here goes, A few weeks after Ruth passed, the lady from macmillan who was looking after me, and she was a lady, so much so, that we jumped from mere aquaintancies to friends,  im not ashamed to say I loved that woman for what she did for me, the words she spoke to me, but this here day, she asked me, if theres out she could do for me before we parted company, now I find this difficult to put into words, but I have a long lost relative a lady, so with nowt to lose, I gave macmillan details, few weeks later, I gets a phone call, it was her, she lives down south, we have become close, she even rings me in the middle of the night if she sees me on line, id rather spend 5 minutes with this woman than the rest of my life in some foreign place im not that sort of bloke, so im struggling, so now what do you all think of me

Go for it, have actually had this discussion with my other half regarding what would happen to the one left behind and both agree that you need a companion in your twilight years, so should take it if it came up with the others blessing, and if you need a cup of tea and a pit stop on your way south, I,m in Bristol 2mins off the m5 and you would be welcome to stop off if needed

Sorry folks ive presented myself all wrong, so I apologise, in the beginning, I think it was Wilf who asked me if I had any family, I said no, because at the time I hadn't if you can understand me, but this long lost relative happens to be my daughter,   its a long story of how we drifted but we did, and now I cannot believe the joy I have in my heart, a different kind of love, but love never the less, I never in a million years did I ever envisage being happy again so much so, I feel disrespectful to Ruth for being happy, knowing full well she would be over the moon for me, none of will never no whats around the corner, or how life will treat us, so with whats going on in the world if this is all I have to look forward to in life, a phone call from my daughter then im a happy man, what more could I ask for, appologies once again for the confusion

[Jonjon79 13,360]

No need to apologise, it’s good to talk

[Daniel cain 49,709]

No need to apologise.... My advice is still the same..... Get on to it... Get down and meet her mate..... Don't feel guilty for wanting some happiness.... You deserve some

[Jonjon79 13,360]

Same from me - go and see her

 

You've got nothing to feel bad about mate - shit happens, that's life.

 ........ a reconciliation can only be a good thing

[iworkwhippets 13,244]
