Hey Spec, hope you're good on the other side of the ditch. Calm and sunny here this morning. It's a public holiday (Queens Birthday) here today.
This side of the ditch is cold and miserable today. Hovering around 10c, suitably windy, and only occasional sun.
I was noticing your observations on your parents. My mother has turned..
hmmm 92... she's been in aged care for the last 6 years or so.. back then she spent about... 2-3 weeks in hosptial with little idea what was going on. Severely iron depleted, not sure what else. She was at my sisters for a
time, and one day woke up looked around and asked "What am I doing here?" No memory of the previous 2-3 months. Bit like she'd been on autopilot and just woke up. The other half of the parent equation has been missing for... some
34 odd years now, must've been about 18 when he kicked.
So all things considered, yours are doing pretty well. Make the most of them while they're still here.
