Off adventuring!

#1

Post by Joeboy »

Off to Turkey tomorrow with No1 son to see if he is a candidate for lens replacement surgery. Fingers crossed, he'll be a go-er.

Crap last couple of weeks, had a terminal illness suicide in the family and then a car crash last night (nobody hurt in the crash).

Looking forward to getting on that plane tomorrow and going RE picture hunting in Turkey, kicking back & sit and stare as the waves come in.

Merry Christmas lads & lassies, all the best and good fortune to you all in 23. :twisted: 8-)

Sorry to hear that joe, when someone close has a terminal illness you know there will be no happy ending and I hope their situation was seen as a form of release.

We have to look forward to some good stuff now and again so enjoy the sun ☀️ as I am. Its not just for solar panels ;)

I'm all for choice in that scenario, brave person, between a rock & a hard place, hope they primed family & friends in good time to lessen the shock inevitably encountered by all.
