@Jacques hey Jacques. How are you going. Nearly got through work week. One more day to go. Mentally hard. Not easy coping with aging mother. Did some exercises and rested today. Hope we both get through the weekend nicely. Take care

Hey @TAB @Meowmy @StuF @greenpea @Glisten @Bill16
I’m a bit sad about Christmas too. Couldn’t arrange a good time for both my boys and their partners to come by. Probably won’t even bother putting up the Christmas tree this year. Too much hassle! Going to volunteer to be Santa’s escort at the children’s hospital between 9am and 1pm. Hopefully that cheers up the cockles of my heart.

Thoughtful people like you @Former-Member helped me grow my little business into something that gave a whole bunch of jolly freckle faced guys n gals a good job to come to. We all give thanks to you and yours..
I'm easing out the back door but I'm told the girls at moonbase 1, are already picking snow peas n plump
ripe tomatoes. Near brings a tear to my eye. I actually miss ducking the odd tomato n forked fire banter directed at my head. Knowing they feel at ease to do it.. thats what makes me feel good.
The race to the bottom is a disease that disrespects people, and I'll have no part of it..
Made all the more possible by people, just like you. Love your ethics Smiling gecko tonys

@Oaktree Love your posts.
@Glisten Blow up Pool and palm sound cool for our hot Chrissies. Great
Enjoy your trip @MDT
@Former-Member I guess nostalgia plays a big part as we get older. Focus on the good memories. Friendships are unique too. In a way it is good that people arent that easily replaced.
I am busy busy.
Thinking of you all
