Mmm, I may be feeling unwell in August,  

I GOT A SOFT LUMP THAT NEEDS HARDENING.

Well done. The two of you can relax a bit now

Met an old friend today after 22 years. She has hardly changed a bit! Pity I can't say the same for myself  

Is she worth one Dermot

Going into Los Cris and having a pedicure so a bit of pampering.

Off down to Kent this afternoon to put starter motor with shiny new solenoid back on the boat engine. Hopefully that will be easier than it was to get the bugger off! 
Tomorrow we catch the 06.08 train from Peterborough down there for the resumption of our sail up to Norfolk. Looks like 3 days of wall to wall sunshine with light winds so just perfect. If all goes to plan we should be in Wells harbour by 7pm on Sunday........

Hope there is a tale to tell in there somewhere, your last one was really enjoyed by those who look into Queenies blog.

That spawned a hilarious boating TV series with Griff Rhys Jones, Rory McGrath and Dara O'Briain...

It was a great programme but Griff Rhys Jones came across as very odd, until then I had thought he was OK but no he is a bit of an odd ball.

Its been a funny old day, very busy as usual but i can cope with that, No i got a message from one of my half brothers, i didnt know he was a half until 8 or 9 years ago, but thats another story, we have a brother that has been a complete nightmare all our lives, and i honestly thought i wouldnt give a shite if he dropped dead, Well he has so to speak, he had a stroke today then a massive heart attack, he had one 30 years ago and he has been on borrowed time since, he is a complete stress head, anyway other brother said the doc said make some arrangements, he is an ex person very soon, i always thought i wouldnt be bothered but i'm a bit numb, Janet put her arm around me and said well done ?, "Why" i asked, "For being human i knew you had it in you" Mmm i could have sworn i would have danced around the room, Sure he was a complete bassa, but he belonged to us,  

Blood's thicker than water. He has Dixon genes, only natural you'll feel a little sad.

You have feelings and no matter what he was like he was a relative.

Just been down the hospital, I spoke with the doctor, He has bleeding on the brain and they cant give him anything to stop it because of the heart attack, doc said at best he will be disabled, and at worse he wont make it through the night, on a score of 1 to 10 its a 2, So game over for him,
He has always been a Willy Brogan, nothing down for him, ever, at all,
So peeps thank your lucky stars, because some people get the shit end of the stick,

Just goes to show Reg, we never know how we will react until something actually happens and then despite what we assumed our true feelings take over.  

We know you like to joke your way through life but we all know you are a true gent and even a sibling that you thought you had little time for will get 110% of whatever you have to give so they will have as easy a passing as possible.  Which IMO would be better than continuing in this world with a poor quality of life. You probably won´t sleep much tonight, you may shed a few tears but that is all part of being a good human being and we know you are a very good person.  

Reggie boy, you owe them nowt, but you will still give.  Top bloke that has feelings despite being an ass, that is what gets the best through life and pulls others through, don't change, this ain't no surprise to me as you know, I said you cared, just hard when the caring is needed, chin up matey.
Special geezer, not just coz you went to a spacial school.
Hope it is painless here on in matey, you take care old kiddie.
