Plus, on two of the NT livelink things.

Andrew has just become the first to win both film and theatre critics awards, in the same year.
I am so pleased for him.
Very well deserved.
But I bet he cried...
Mum would have loved to have seen this.

Of course Andrrw's too nice to be funny with people...
but he seems a gentle soul and I just feel so sorry for him.

Imagine the feelings of me and my hubby's old pal, when we saw that Amanda play about the male suicide...it was difficult, not being long after we'd lost Brian.

Yes, I just keep saying to Dad:
we're all getting old, we all have issues...we just have to help each other to make life as easy as possible.

Truth beknown I was a bit upset yesterday.
I phoned my parents to thank them for my birthday card and generous cheque.
Now I could see that Mum had just done the signing, my sister had clearly written everything else and posted it. Fair enough, that is standard these days.
But on the phone, I felt Mum had no concept that it was my birthday and didn't really understand what I was phoning and thanking her for.
She used to be so sharp, but her memory is impaired these days.

Thanks, dear.
Yes, just before lockdown, dad was diagnosed with an incurable cancer...
I am useless on technicalities, so I may be getting this wrong.
Lymphatic cancer?  Blood cancer, I think.
Anyway, it is definitely incurable and my sis and I both seem to remember him been given 5 years.
He has monthly blood tests and they are basically just monitoring/regulating best they can.
But it was made pretty clear, it's just a time-buying exercise.

In the Summer, when I retire, I will become the main carer for my parents...
I just keep hoping they both hang on long enough, for me to at least spend a little time with them.
They are 90 and 88 and quite frail.
Virtual hugs to you.

So sorry for your own sad news.

It was early...
 But I think I did,
I mean, i just would have followed the reply link.
The subject would fit the thread title, too.
I mean I have been known to reply on the wrong thread...
but I think on this occasion, there has been a deletion!

Excuse me?
Martin Freeman was the only ever actor who played John, in BBC Sherlock...pilot or otherwise.

Actually, there was one funny part for me...
obviously a few of us in the cinema were of a similar age!
Andrew Scott's character walks into his old bedroom:
all the posters, I also had on my wall...
he then starts flicking through his old record collection, which was MY collection-and I could hear others in the audience making the same links!

I was born in Saltburn-by- the sea!
