Arthur Posted September 5, 2012 Share Posted September 5, 2012 Ian, So sad to hear this news. I lost my first wife to cancer some years ago now. I can tell you that you'll have good days and bad days, but I can also promise you that the rawness eases and, given time, life won't seem so bad. There's no right way to cope, do what works, what seems natural. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Robert Posted September 6, 2012 Share Posted September 6, 2012 Morning All, Another dark morning here - and there is now an indeniable hint of Autumn in the air. Hope you are holding up Ok, Ian 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DonBradley Posted September 6, 2012 Share Posted September 6, 2012 It became quite warm/hot yesterday, up to 22C in my West facing room. Today has dawned bright and clear and it looks to mimic yesterday. Keep strong Ian. We are with you through this difficult time. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium NGT6 1315 Posted September 6, 2012 RMweb Premium Share Posted September 6, 2012 Morning all... Scattered cloud cover up in the sky and the sun's rising. Looks like tidying up will, after all, be on the agenda for today. I'll also need to pick up the Danish money we ordered at the bank. I continue to be thinking of you and your family, Ian. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium skipepsi Posted September 6, 2012 RMweb Premium Share Posted September 6, 2012 Morning all, dry and clear but the windscreen is covered in condensation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold Tony_S Posted September 6, 2012 RMweb Gold Share Posted September 6, 2012 Sunny and quite warm here already but it was much cooler during the night. Not a lot planned today, Robbie has an appointment at the vets for his booster jabs. I can't remember if I mentioned that Matthew is now in his university accommodation and seems very happy.

Tim Chambers Posted September 6, 2012 Share Posted September 6, 2012 So very sorry Ian to hear of your sad loss; I cannot add anything meaningful to the comments already posted except perhaps to pass on what a friend said to me when I was sorely troubled- keep your chin up Tim, take one day at a time,don't expect too much of yourself and there will be light at the end of the tunnel.If you can find the writings of Lady Julian of Norwich you may be comforted-I was.Thinking of you, Tim. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DDolfelin Posted September 6, 2012 Share Posted September 6, 2012 Well, it's another day. Don't imagine for a moment that we've stopped thinking of you, Ian. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium Gwiwer Posted September 6, 2012 RMweb Premium Share Posted September 6, 2012 I have not made a habit of visiting this thread in the past but have been aware of the unfolding events from posts elsewhere. May I add my sincere condolences, Ian, and the offer of any and all support as you may need at any time. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium Sidecar Racer Posted September 6, 2012 RMweb Premium Share Posted September 6, 2012 Morning all , a morning of small jobs to be completed , then a bit of railway work . Thoughts with Ian still . 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest dilbert Posted September 6, 2012 Share Posted September 6, 2012 The final page in a book of life has been turned, yet in other life books, this page represents the end of a chapter. Books are important in life - they represent a memories of the past... dilbert 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gordon s Posted September 6, 2012 Share Posted September 6, 2012 Funny thing about life, after the sadness of yesterday, this morning the sun is shining and life goes on as normal for most of us. I found that particularly hard to accept after losing family members. It's only several years later have I learned that's the way it is and know time is a healer. The memories will never go, but the pain does subside. Thinking of you, Ian. I wonder how Mike is on his cruise? Hopefully there are no Somali pirates in the Bristol Channel... 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DDolfelin Posted September 6, 2012 Share Posted September 6, 2012 "Hopefully there are no Somali pirates in the Bristol Channel..." It would add some colour to the holiday - and give the Navy some exercise. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

trisonic Posted September 6, 2012 Share Posted September 6, 2012 (edited) What is the name of his vessel? Did he tell us the site that tracks it's progress? I did PM him the news yesterday, as requested. So long as they are not zig-zagging across the Thames at Benfleet looking for WW2 mines...... The US Marines have more planes and ships than the RN, I think. Actually more planes than the RAF, probably. Best, Pete.

sixoh8sixoh Posted September 6, 2012 Share Posted September 6, 2012 Morning all. Over in Glasgow today, got a thousand and one (work) things to do today, and very little motivation! My friend Gareth's had an interview this morning for the Passport Office in Durham. Really hope he gets it as he's had a rotten string of redundancies/short term contracts/periods of unemployment over the last 5 years. Thoughts still with Ian, of course. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Gold PhilH Posted September 6, 2012 RMweb Gold Share Posted September 6, 2012 Just had message from son who is currently swanning around Singapore Airport on way to new life in Oz. I think he's had enough of aeroplanes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Premium eldavo Posted September 6, 2012 RMweb Premium Share Posted September 6, 2012 Have we still got a Navy? Of course! I saw all three of our ships down in Bournemouth last week. On second thoughts one was a support ship and another was some sort of coastal protection vessel. Does one destroyer constitute a navy? Hope Ian is hanging on in there.
