Many thanks for visiting my diary Scotty & Lively.

Very impressed with the courage, determination and resilience you have always shown.  You are now 130 and 141 days respectively into your new lives and I am very proud of you both.

Hope to see you in the chatroom  over the weekend but if you cannot make it or if our paths do not cross, than I was you every happiness.

The little ducklings in the marina have grown a lot during recent weeks and are still following their mum around. Haha they do make me smile. 

Trillions of flying ants descended on Hull today so I imagine the birds will have been having a right good nosh up. The ducklings will have been loving it ??.

 

Love and best wishes to all on the diaries

One Two Three

Gamble Free

Is The Way To Be

 

Twas a super sunny morning 

Than clouds did fill the sky

So I waved to a passing cormorant

Who said "oh me oh my"

 

Let us bask in the splendour

And breathe in the North Sea air

For the people of Hull are quite jolly

Smiling with never a care

 

Love and best wishes to everyone on the diaries

Stephen ( and the cormorant) ??

Thank you for visiting my diary Scotty. 

Hoping you and your good wife enjoy a great time away in the campervan. 

You mentioned you might visit the Peeraid chatroom tomorrow morning so look forward to seeing you there if you can make it.

 

Hello Diary.

All is well in my world.

I tired of the symbols by my name so am now simply Aum.

 

Aum is a sacred sound signifying the essence of our ultimate reality.

 

Love and peace to all on the diaries

Stephen x x x

Hi Stephen/Aum 

I was delighted to see you in chat this evening along with our other gamcare friends. It really made me laugh! 

You are so full of fun, mischief and humour and really know how to brighten up the day.

A big congratulations on hitting 150 days gf - I am super proud of you as I hope you are of yourself. Positivity and happiness are everything you deserve.

Hope you have sweet dreams.

Your friend 

lively ?

Hey Stephen 

I missed your flare and sparkle in the chat room today, along with you loitering in your batman suit ?.

I hope you’ve had a good day and had your daily converse with the ducks. Wishing you a wonderful gf Friday full of joy and happiness. 

Hope to catch you soon. 

Your friend,

Lively x

Hello Diary.

It is silly o clock in the morning and I am sat with a coffee wondering why sleep is eluding me. I retired at 2330 hrs so have only slept for 5 hours.

However, it is an absolutely delightful morning. The sun has just risen and the world looks quite beautiful from my balcony. Think I might head off for a stroll to the waterfront and say hello to the ducks in the marina ?? and wave to the passing gulls.

I suppose in bygone days when people didn't have electricity (and live by a clock) than everyone would have been up and about at sunrise. 

Just been looking at the news and covid 19 is on the increase in France and Belgium. A bit worrying really and people in Hull seem to be acting like it is gone for good so don't know what to make of it. I wish people would observe social distancing and wear masks as and when appropriate.

I looked back at the email I received a couple of years back when I registered with Gamstop and it never mentioned the time period so yesterday I rang them up and they confirmed I am covered for another few years. That reassured me and I am self excluded from all the betting shops in Hull so everything should be ok. 

 

Wishing everyone on the diaries a super duper Friday.

Gamcare Lads & Lasses may you find what you do seek

And may the sun shine on you through the day & through the week

 

A finer bunch of people I could never hope to meet

And reading all your diaries is an honour and a treat

 

Sadness warmth and humour blend with laughter sighs and sorrow

Together arm-in-arm today and on into tomorrow

 

 

Love and best wishes to all on the diaries 

 

We are strong

We are determined

We are resilient

 

WE WILL SUCCEED

Many thanks for visiting my diary Lively, Zoe and Scotty. 

Lively....You are always bright and cheerful and look for the positives in every situation. A great source of inspiration to me throughout my recovery.

Zoe..... You also are an absolute treasure and have brought a smile to my face on many occasion. You were missed in the Peeraid Chatroom this morning. It was the mother of all chatrooms with a buffet laid on (lots of cakes) plus a guest appearance by Tom Jones who sang a few songs and the Chippendales did a show ??????.

Scottie....Pleased you and your good wife are enjoying your holiday. Sat on the beach eating ice cream sounds good. I believe we are in for a heatwave over the next few days so hope you have fun whatever you are doing.

 

 

Wishing everyone on the diaries a happy Wednesday evening.
