This came to me yesterday after remembering also a lady that joined PWP as my first member way back, must have been 40 years ago now.   It was sad and I am sure there have been many men and women in the same boat but do hesitate to speak about it.

Hubble has found persistent water vapor on one half of Jupiter’s ice moon Europa that some experts believe is home to alien life 

The Hubble Space Telescope has confirmed that Jupiter’s ice moon, Europa, has persistent water vapor on just one hemisphere – the trailing hemisphere.

[I find this fascinating]

Oh dear!

Do you ever find yourself in the situation when a friend is in tears and you do not know what to say?

When a partner says he doesn’t find her attractive now at 60!

It made me think what do guys look like at 60plus?

Fat tummies and double chins are not that attractive to the ladies either!

I wish some people would stop to think what they are saying to their partners in life.

Ladies try to look attractive for their partners, but do the guys care about their appearances when they get over 60+

Hi Leonie!

Thank you for your kind words;  I do plod alone and try to do my best in life.

My next hurdle is the Jab next Monday morning which I am a bit scared of!

The nurse said I will probably experience two or three days of flu symptoms.

Some days are a lot better than others thats for sure.

Today an old friend picked me up and we went for a drive, we had a nice lunch and then we went over to Spotlight and we picked out some material for a curtain.   We had a nice selection but I needed something to block out the sun, which faces towards the east and it brings in a lot of heat in the summer so in a couple of days she is coming back to give me a hand to do some sewing which I have not done in donkeys years!

So all in all it was a fruitful day that we both enjoyed.

Glad you liked the orchids RnR, but they are old photos from the old house we used to live at.  I had much more energy in those days!  LOL

The funny thing is we put these Cymbidiums under the Lime tree and left them to their own devices!  We half expected them to die on us as we were away a few years in the UK when hubby was transferred, admittedly we had some tenants in the property.

But I think the orchids like the position under the Lime tree with auto watering in those days.

If you saw my orchids today they are nowhere near as good!

I am struggling along trying to read this!

I hope others do it has taken me ten minutes to read the first paragraph  [talk about frustration]

But the words are making my brain work I have not used this section of the site for ages and I feel I must it is a good exercise.  I hope people with the same issues as I can do the same.

Thanks Leon and Late

Hi Axel!

 

Thank you for your comments they are very appreciative.

I plod along in life like everyone does and most of my good days have been in the garden pottering around!  

It sure has been good growing weather, I am also very grateful to have help in the garden with things that I used to do but cannot any longer.   But seeing the seedlings pop up and bloom so much in this Spring weather gives me a lot of happiness.

Hope you have had a lovely weekend?

Called in to the site for the first time today at 7pm Perth time and have read your loving good wishes ladies thank you very much.    As you know some days are a lot better than others!  

Husband is struggling too and has been in a lot of pain.

Friendships today had been going out to an Orchid and Gerbera Show which meant a very early start to gain the best plants that are up for sale.   I have a friend that is just 84 and has similar heart issues as I have but didn’t have an implant put into her chest like I did after the stroke. 

She had her birthday on Friday and has the last 18 months had a double knee replacement!

How is that?    I told her a couple of weeks ago she is a tough old bird!  Which she laughed at.

I think my issue is people don’t believe I have had a stroke due to my ability to type and write.

However, I won’t bore you further thank you for your loving wishes.

Now my next hurdle is to have my second Jab a week tomorrow!

For those altruistic friends here that have been following me trying to get back to reading!

The recent gardening site I have put up I managed to read two paragraphs! Then I was done!  LOL

I let my husband finish that off.  At least I have him interested in the mulching of our garden!

It was an interesting exercise for us both.

But now my eyes are sore!

This week has been hard with another visit back to hospital with high blood pressure, I feel this has put me back a bit in my reading which is a pain, I also had to cancel my eye specialists appointment and put it back also.  

Oh the joys of having this Stroke has been frustrating and disappointing to be able to do many bits and pieces, but my gardening gives me pleasure when I get get out of the WA winds!

Hope you have had a good week?

Sorry this is boring but strokes are boring to contend with.

We miss going out to see the countryside the last eightmonths due to husbands illness and mine.

It used to be a favourite drive of ours for the day out.
