Oh well this is difficult... I love funny Twitter, I empathise with serious Twitter. I’m a sucker for a good cause and I absolutely hate injustice of any kind.
My cat who is nearly 18 years old and who has lived with me since she was a tiny kitten has never touched me ….. till today 🥰 and now I have to stay here forever
I have the BEST news! My husband John is out of hospital &is home! He’s lost 3 stone in weight and is weak as a kitten but he’s home with me now. Nearly 4 weeks ago he was so critically ill the surgeon didn’t expect him to survive the operation. 1/2
40 years ago today on a cold, wet morning unbeknownst to my parents I took a day off school and got married! At the end of the day we both went back to our parents houses & didn’t live together for another 3 years! Didn’t tell a soul till we got divorced! The folly of youth 😁
My lovely cat Penny was put to sleep this morning. Her kidneys had failed and she was in pain. She was 18 and had lived with me since she was 4 weeks old. I am finally broken but I will be ok. RIP Penny
1 year ago today I was waking up not knowing if my soulmate had survived a major operation- they’d given him less than a 20% chance. Although I didn’t know it then this day marked the beginning of my personal nightmare. Today I got a visit & it made me feel a little better
My neighbour’s 3 year old let his balloon go to my garden and when I chucked it back it landed on a spiky plant & burst - I could hear his sobs in my head long after he’d stopped!! So meet its replacement! He was delighted (it’s as big as him!!) 😁
I’ve had the phone call. He’s deteriorating fast and it’ll only be a few hours now. I gave them a message to give to him and to make sure the last words he hears are that I love him. I feel so sad.
The fact that he’s with us now is because my John is a fighter who never gives in but also because of the surgeon’s skill and the dedication of the wonderful nursing staff at SASH. I will be forever grateful to all of them.
Twitter. I’ve completed on my house sale, WOO 🍾🎉. Solicitor has said official time for me to collect keys is 12 noon. Owners probs wont be ready then. They’ve pissed me about thru the sale process. What time should I insist on getting the keys and hassling the owners to hurry?
Ooh I’ve got a visitor! Ive lived here 12 years and this is the first time I’ve seen one. He’s been eating the birds mealworms which I understand isn’t good for him/her. What food should I get? Is there special hedgehog food??
A year ago today I lost my soulmate to Covid that he got in hospital. It’s been a roller coaster year of actions & emotions since then but I’m in a good place now with a new love in my life. I’ll never forget you John but it’s time for you to rest in peace now 💔
Well that was fun. I went to a painting class above a local pub with my events group. We all had to paint an abstract highland cow! I haven’t put paint on blank canvas since I was 18 but we had such a laugh i’ve signed up to do it again next month!😁
Ooh I’m all excited now. Emirates offered me a great cash deal to upgrade one of my flights to 1st class! Can also use the first class lounge at Dubai airport! There’s a shower onboard as well! 😆 Get me🤣 My head wont fit through the door 🤣
Well you all know my husband John died of Covid in February. Today would have been his birthday and I want to remember him here. It’s going to be a long thread because he was a special man so bear with me! 1/
The coroners have released John’s body. I’ve got to go to the undertakers to sign the paperwork and pay for his cremation. He’s being cremated on 9th March, two days after what would have been our 24th wedding anniversary. It’s all so sad and I am sad.
For those interested, just to let you know my mum is still hanging on nearly 2 weeks after she was put on end of life care but she is deteriorating a little bit more every day. I’m taking a bit of a break. Im around just not up for conversations but I will be back when it’s over.
Had a bit of a bad day today. My partner’s elderly mother died. It’s been a bit of a fortnight. If you’ve been there you’ll know, but she’s at peace now and I’m happy for her. But I’m, so sad for those of us that she’s left behind.
Twitter I just woke up! In my new home! Had a decent lie in thanks to my friend Moët & Chandon🤣 So after coffee, more boxes to unpack! Kitchen done so good progress. Going to tackle my clothes next. Have a lunch reservation so need clean clothes🤣
New bathroom today Twitter. Plumber’s been here since 8am demolishing the current one. This is the current one, more pics to follow as it happens. There is a lot of noise happening!
All good things come to an end and we are here waiting for our taxi to Koh Samui airport. Dressed for home and sweating 🤣 Does anyone want me to tweet my journey home? Only business class this way I’m afraid…..
I’m at the gym mulling over how much my life has changed in the last 2 and a half years! House goes in the market today Twitter! Here’s to new beginnings 😁🥂💸
I’m in a local pub and they’ve got the vicar from next door in and everyone is singing carols. They do things differently down here. Think I’m going to fit in well here😁
The ward my mother is dying in a south London hospital doesn’t provide chairs for its visitors I was told by the ward manager, meaning that I will have to stand today, all day, to watch her die. Inhuman beasts. I am going to buy a camping chair. They will not defeat me💪🏻
Thinking of all those people who have lost heir mothers, especially recently. This is my first Mother’s Day without her. We had a complicated relationship, sometimes difficult, but I miss hearing her voice & getting snotty messages on my answer phone ☹️
They say the way to keep a person’s memory alive is to talk about them. I had 24 years with my soulmate. We had a fiery, passionate relationship & we were each other’s best friend. We went everywhere together &we travelled the world together. I’ve been so lucky to find such love.
However there is one thing I will find it hard to forgive her for - this severe haircut!!! Apparently my gran didn’t talk to her for weeks after that!! I call it my Peter Kay look 🤣
I’m preparing to move house & doing the final declutter. You know, the ‘I’ll look at that later”. Well later is here & it’s so damned hard. Deleting John’s presence, all the little memories brought to the fore. It’s right but it’s playing on my mind😕
Today is not only St Paddy’s Day 🍀
It's also the feast of Saint Gertrude of Nivelles, the patron saint of cats & the people who love them.
I’m not Irish or Belgian, but I am a little bit crazy cat lady so I'm gonna raise a handful of Dreamies to her today,
Cheers Gertie 🐱
