Weekly Chat (Non-Osprey), 9 May 2021

Good afternoon, all. I am pleased to announce that after a year and a half off the road due to the rescinding of his driving licence, Limpy successfully passed a driving assessment yesterday afternoon! We are absolutely over the moon.

Clare - That's brilliant news. So pleased for you both, especially Limpy. Not being allowed to drive give you such a lack of freedom and identity - at least, I imagine it does. It's so easy for most of us to jump into our cars and go where we want, without having to rely on others. Hope he enjoys his freedom.

Hello to everyone else on yet another grey and damp day. When are we going to see some sunshine and feel some warmth?!?!? The bluebells seem to like it, though. There are carpets of them all over the place.

Thanks, Pat. I'm so proud of him - despite his disablement, his Parkinson's and his chronic pain he actually got through it. He'd been having sleepless nights up to this assessment and the tiredness is catching up with him now!

Clare, thats the best news!! Wonderful! So pleased for you both- give him a big hug from me!!

I'm sheltering as I just rescued the laundry from the latest downpour - thunder & lightning, too!!

We had amazing and unexpected views of the sunset on our last night in Wales - it lit up the sky and I only realised when it was too late to run down to the seafront, so I took some quick snaps from where I was.

It changed in just a few moments to this! Not edited in any way!

Morning all:  

Clare:  Am raising a toast to Limpy (with my morning coffee).  Bravo!  Hope he sleeps better now.

Lindybird:  Lovely photos

Gray and damp here too; looks like another day to tackle files, etc.

That is great news CLARE Well done to LIMPY.

OG That is all good news.
