Good day Bloggets. After such a wonderful day yesterday
spent with those we love so much, I feel so happy and blessed to have such
people in our lives. It was one of those days that was so very natural. Just a
day of connections that are beyond reality as far as the so-called normal
status quo!
And today back to work but at least I had my pill of delight
in the email of a much needed Blogget of ours and extremely special person of
mine… she’s mine, whether she wants to be or not, haha.
But on this cold wet windy day of the 20th of November
2018, as many of you may have guessed from my poem the other day, not all is
well among our beautiful readers. Dearest Patricia lost the love of her life as
he had to put his hands out and pick up his wings. He battled for a lot longer
than I ever thought he would. And there was a time when we all thought our
prayers were working. But sadly not, though I’m sure Patricia and her family
were so appreciative for those of you who did reach out with words and
thoughts, as by doing that it gave her family time to get to their Dad from
abroad. In the end, it was his time. Not every time in the big clock in the sky
is in time with ours here on earth though. And I’m sure that Patricia and her
family were or may be at a later date be cross by the speed in which dear
George was taken away. I would like to
guess, that all will be explained when we all meet again, as I know for sure
when I was 30, I so badly needed my parents in my life and my Sons life, but
that wasn’t to be and I know that my Husband and I really wish my Mother in law
had lasted longer, we loved her and I guess rather than needed her, we wanted
her longer in our lives. So, we don’t get a choice. And I hope one day we will
all know why, but that doesn’t help us now, does it?
And on to my Son. He passed his second interview and today
received a start date for his new job. This is totally different to anything he
has ever done before. He will be at least working in a nice warm office. Not on
a cold dark horrid platform of a train station, like before.
He won’t be a boss at this job, so let’s see how he copes
with being told what to do. At least it’s a little more money and a lot of less
awful hours. The latest he will be coming home will be about 7 in the evening, a
weekend will be optional. Thankfully so far, he is still in the frame of mind
not to work Christmas day he values family time with us and the tradition. I pray
that will never change, though his girlfriend comes from a totally different
perspective. Her family have all at one time worked on the big day this will be
the first time in Shamrocks working life she hasn’t worked and I think if the
job she does in the make up shop she works in, was open Christmas day, she
would work for sure. But it’s closed so she’s home. Sadly, for her Dad, and
Grandfather, her Mum is working. But each to their own, we don’t work and that
time is precious to us.
My Sons boss and area manager are not at all impressed with
BW leaving. The area manager tried to get BW to change his mind. But he decided
enough was enough and he just left. Thank goodness he has another job to go to.
He will be responsible for fixing computer problems in his huge office. So, if
a member of staff for example, has forgotten their password for their computer,
then they call BW to help them out or if for some reason they have any access
troubles with their lap tops, then again, they call BW. He will be in training
for six weeks. This is a subject he studied at college but hated. Though he is excellent
at talking over the phone and calmly directing someone. Since he was about 14,
he has helped friends and family over the phone to fix their computer, though
since he left college, he hasn’t really bothered with a lap top. Hub bought him
one years ago well, a few years ago, but it’s just not his thing. So, again,
let’s see what happens. Of course, he already has his eyes open to promotion so
in this job there is opportunities to climb the ladder. He did so well at his
last job getting to be manager and the job before that he was supervisor and
that was when he was only 18. He was the youngest supervisor in his whole
company in the UK. But when he was a tiny baby, I saw a fortune teller who told
me he would be working with money in a bank. So far, she hasn’t been right. Smile.
Though he was known as a bit of a wheeler and dealer when he was young.
In science, biologists have created the most lifelike cells
yet. This I hope will be great news as the cells they have created are
obviously artificial but are tough as have lasted two years in a freezer
without any damage. It’s said that this is good news for cancer, but I hope as well
it will help us with Retinitis Pigmentosa, which is a progressive degenerative
disease, only I sadly have progressed as far as I can go. Smile. As there is no
sight left for me. 1 in 4000 people in the UK are affected by RP.
And finally, how do cats keep themselves clean? They have
tiny sharp cones on their tongues.
Their U-shaped cavities help move droplets of saliva through
their upper layers of fur into deeper layers and onto the skin. Cats also use
their tongues to cool off as they only have sweat glands on the leather of
their paws. Scientists have produced a new kind of brush which is flexible and
made from silicone. This brush is modelled on the cat’s tongue. The brush can even
help to deliver medication to the cat’s fur.
And a final finally, haha, I was also reading that
scientists have learned that spiders’ silk is five times stronger than steel.
