The 50 Plus Cafe, Pub, All-Nite Greasy Spoon and Dive Bar

Sorry folks but I can't update on nearly 10 days so perhaps treat me as a newbie who knows the rules.
My update is
Holiday-1 Started with Heavy cold
0 drove for 6 hours with numerous breaks to doze
1 still felt awful but good weather so out and dosed up.
2. I am feeling a little better but mum has my cold. I am unpopular
3. I am recovered but heavy rain so stuck in
4. Raining Wife has my cold so I am really unpopular...go fishing
5 Raining Mum is recovering but drops the stitches on her knitting so stops. I am still unpopular stay out of the way and read
6. Asked to pick up mums 52 stitches. Hell I haven't done that for 60 years but just remember. Put it on the needle the wrong way around so unpopular again
7. Lovely day. Dig worms for fishing, pick up stitches the right way around. Take the ladies for coffees so gaining popularity. Allowed to go fishing.
8 Help clean and drive home popularity restored!

So glad to be back in the bar with my friends and a cup of tea.
We have missed you so much......thank God you are all well and you are out of the doghouse with the wife and mum....
 
I've been ducking Mom lately. I reckon that I should take her somewhere and feed her.


That's just not what I want to do when I martyr myself by leaving the house.


Walk round #2 . . . .
 
Goodmorning everyone
I'm not up to par today. It's going on three weeks with the AC on and my bones ache. Mrs Rj needs the AC for her COPD, and I'm getting a head cold. My anemia prevents me from staying warm. I do get to go grocery shopping, but going from the cold to the hot to the cold, is taking its toll on me. I'm taking ibuprofen and trying to sit away from the AC vents with blankets on.

I recall when I felt obliged to take mom out to dinner only knowing she would start criticizing my sister, her husband, my wife and me. So I get why you are reluctant. Do I miss that? No! I miss the mom when I was a kid and not as an adult.

Hang in there. Your sensitivity to hot and cold is common. You are not alone.

Awww… bummer RJ. Maybe find a nice warm spot near a window to warm up.

Feel better, bud.

Yeah… moms can be complicated. (Some, not all!)

My mom can make my anxiety spike like it’s no ones business….

But she is my mom. So yeah - guilt and anxiety. Perfect together. 😂😂

Do you know my mum was like that on holiday. Nit picking in a way she never has. I just turned it back on her as humour and we just laughed it off

Mine starts some shit sometimes. "Mom, are you fucking with me??" "Yeah??? Well cut it the fuck out. I haven't got time for your shit." It works.


Sometimes.


Gonna call her now . . . .
 
Thought I would share a few photos from the last evening when I walked to the beach . I even got a picture of a “sun dog” first ever
