Swan Song



 Trendy Carol has sorted Mary’s haircut today and has offered to take her to the groomers with her own dog
Her husband Euan will look after Dorothy when I’m at work .
They are looking after the dogs too when I go to my nephew’s wedding. 
Filling in for Boffin Cameron, who has been struck down with Covid
I couldn’t cope without the both of them

I see William Shatner is going into space today ( albeit for ten minutes ) 
He’s 80 and I thought what a marvellous swan song it is for him to be part of this mission.
Off to work….

      Trolling Anon is a very ugly trait. You must do better.

    Trendy Carol and Euan are wonderful neighbours!
    Definitely a swan song for William Shatner.

    I don't know what the attraction of the moon is. People have already been there and taken lots of snaps.

    If you can be bothered can you explain to me this weird NHS 12 or 13 hour shift thing? Especially wearing COVID PPE. It can’t be good for health professionals or staff after nine hours. On my side of the world we still have the eight hour day. I can’t even begin to express my admiration for you and every other health professional who has to do this but WHY !

      Sorry I meant health professionals and the people they’re looking after. Crikey. How tired are health professionals from hours 8 to 13 ? And if you make a mistake, then what ? A bit wrong in many ways.

      Point taken and there is research to base your worries on...but nurses prefer long days generally as they have more days off....
      Also a manager gets an extra short shift out of their staff

    Shatner is not 80, he's 90 I believe. The surname Shatner is suggestive of brown underpants which he is sure to have after his excursion into space.

    What a joy to have helpful friends like Trendy Carol, Euan, and Cameron to make your life easier! Hope Cameron is soon healthy again.
    I remember when Carl Sagan's ashes were sent into space. Wonder if Mr. Shatner is reminded of the voyages of the Starship Enterprise?
    Wishing you a peaceful day at work.

    Hugs!

    Wonderful that everything is sorted for the dogs while you attend the wedding. 10 minutes in space for Shatner is Star Trek for real.

    I sure the heck would not be going up into space at 80. Not unless it is some alien civilization that want volunteers to visit their plant!

      But he is 90 actually, so would you go then? I might (in the form of my ashes :)

    Friends John - I could not manage without them - they are wonderful.
    I saw William Shatner - he spoke in glowing terms about looking forward to the experience.

    I saw a photo of them all in a Facebook post today - he had a gold coloured shirt, the other three wore red shirts. I've never seen Startrek, but I know what the red shirts allude to......... must say I have no envy at all, I like my feet on the ground.

    Back in 1966, William Shatner probably never imagined the ways the role of Captain Kirk would transform his life!

      Going into space places many stresses on the human body, which can be exacerbated by age.
      I personally am thrilled that Captain Kirk has actually been into space!
