I got home after my 12.5 hour day shift late.
I collected the dogs , fed them and Albert and just had time to sit down at 9 pm before our zoom meeting was booked.
It was Ben’s last night in the UK so Ruth had sorted out an online meet, all together
We both poured ourselves a large gin and we wore our matching Beanie hats in solidarity
And Ben gave his apologies as he was super stressed and tired and …..so ….didn’t turn up
We were gutted
But the meeting continued …..with the both of us laughing hysterically over the fact we were spinsters of the parish, we had just been stood up and we were wearing matching hats.
Spontaneous laughing is the best :) :)
ReplyDeleteIt was
Deletehaha....it's good to be able to laugh at being stood up! i'm sure ben is stressed. it's a big move.
ReplyDeleteI’m sure too
DeleteSad bcause I understand how much you cared for Ben and it is not as though he is just going down the road.
ReplyDeleteHey …we are over it xx
DeleteMe and a friend were laughing to ourselves when we realised we were both carrying our small dogs up the hill alongside a road to the farm like they were little babies and I was wearing my wig x
ReplyDeleteLol very surreal ….lol
DeleteGlad you made the most of the "Zoom" link up even though Ben dipped out. Your picture reminds me of a certain character in "Crossroads" long ago.
ReplyDeleteA good laugh makes it all worthwhile!
ReplyDeleteDisappointing for you both but, by God, you wear a beanie hat well ! XXXX
ReplyDeleteYou made the best of the situation and that's good.
ReplyDeleteGood friends are the all the medicine we need at times. Beautiful
ReplyDeleteWhat a shame he wasn't there!
ReplyDeleteSo glad laughter replaced the disappointment because Ben was too tired to participate.
ReplyDeleteLove the beanie hats! You and Ruth are well prepared for the coming cold weather.
Hugs!
Sorry Ben couldn't make it but it does sound like you made the best of it! Good for you and Ruth!
ReplyDeleteLaughter, the best medicine. xx
ReplyDeleteYou were both there for him even though he was unable to make it and I'm sure he will remember that. Ruth sounds great.
ReplyDeleteThat was Ben's loss! I wish him and family well in his new life.
ReplyDeleteYou and Ruth do look as though you would make a good sitcom duo!
ReplyDeleteIt all got very hysterical , the way only nurses do after a hard shift
DeleteThere are many things to do when emigrating, especially with family left behind.
ReplyDeleteOf course….
DeleteWell at least you made the best of it and had fun anyway! Bravo!
ReplyDeleteOh we did have fun
DeleteLaughter is good for the soul, cute hats
ReplyDeleteYou have a lovely little life.I'm happy about that.
ReplyDeleteThat's a great photo! Twinnies! :)
ReplyDeleteLaughter does a body good, best wishes to Ben.
ReplyDeleteGood friends, laughter, and a stiff drink. Sounds like all boxes were ticked. :)
ReplyDeleteLaughter truly is the best medicine.
