Toast for breakfast (normal).
I nice bowl of Heinz soup for my evening meal.
No pressies.
Lots of cards but nothing from the in-laws.

I have my photo gear (yes all that new stuff) for sale, I can't get out without using the car and the wife needs it to get to/from work.
So I made the decision to sell up all the gear (most of it is still unused).

Yes it's one of those days, well 48 hours.
My late father was 61 years and 6 days old when he passed and as I am now 61 years old and it has got to me.
In other words, I've been a right miserable PITA for the past 48 hours.

Please forgive me.

You don't need to ask for forgiveness, we all have bad days, times and thoughts, but life has to carry on. You cannot let it beat you, defeat is not an option, tomorrow is another day, a better day than yesterday.

Oh Stephen, what a dreadful couple of days for you. You are only human and as entitled as the rest of us to feel crappy and down sometimes :(

I know from reading your previous posts, most of the time your resilient attitude towards obstacles and challenges life throws at you is admirable. Wishing you a better day tomorrow :)

Happy belated birthday Stephen. Troubling times no doubt about it. Just been informed that this week's student practical sessions will be the last ones of term, rest will be scrapped. Stay safe folks and look out for each other.
