NZFF

Seems that while i have been grumbling about wasting money on a bit of half arsed software , my old man is turning finals .
I saw him last night and he didn't look to flash , but i put it down to a long day. Had a call from my mum while i was posting , he's not to good at all .... still at home , but with a nurse.
Seems the drugs he's on are not working .
Sorry to bother you with all with this , but my family is so dysfunctional i dont have anyone else to vent to.
What a shite of a month ..... tell you what , on the 30th Im going to tie one on .... big time , and wish this bloody month good riddance .

May be away for a while ....

One off the biggest things and most people don't realize it , a "family is so dysfunctional" is exactly they are in and they don't see it ... I lived alone and been there really since ... last century, I come to the fact my sharing and knowledge and people asking for it adds to so I don't need the .. "The Family" I've been conditioned since early 1970s think that is were I get so targeted on fave subjects - warfare aircraft and warships, bleed that now into artwork.

Poor old Marty.... ....

...always seems to be sad news lately...

Never mind, it will all pass over, and you will be back to normal again....(Whatever "normal" is?)... ...!

Keep your pecker up Marty!

I keep well clear of the dreaded; "Facebook".... .....so that all my very large families various trials and tribulations that daily occur, are not available to me.... ....

...peace and tranquillity reigneth in my castle for all the days of my life!.... ...!

...and the Sun has come out again!.... ...!

Paul.. with pieces of tranquillity, and a glass of Merlot Blossom Hill!... ...!

Deeknow and Fozza , thanks for the thoughts . Just got home .... and here I am (on the forum) not sure if thats good or not.

Sad news Marty - I just hope he goes easy, with no pain.

Sorry to read of the sad news Marty. A distressing time for you all.
My partner and I are now starting down the track of advanced care for her elderly parents.
Enjoy the remaining time with your Dad.

Thanks Ian ..... the old guy told me tonight , he heard on the radio a C-17 will do a fly over of the city tomorrow at 1230 to mark the opening of the ice season ..... i didn't know that ..... might go around and take him outside to hear it .... he wont be able to see it sadly .

Not being able to see , that would really scare me, I only hope they really do a good show for him, maybe a rooftop viewing least only to hear the sound .

The C-17 was a little late , but he did get to hear it .... good on the USAF Along with still being at home , it made his day.

Little late and nothing to the display, just a typical approach in over CHCH at 3000 ft , nothing like it was back in 2007 .. Greg stopped thru with all the camera gear , we both thinking it was to be a more aggressive display which was done recent after EQs .. I clicked 2007 - It would have been the 50 anniversary of the USAF/USN arrival to Christchurch back in 1957.

Arrr Grumpy posts make happy posts later, gives you a start to look back , tell ya what , the air temp with that slight breeze got to be quite biting , I was lucky raced inside and put a hat on and jacket .. it was the standing and waiting ... pity it was a quiet cruise pass and a plop directly into NZCH ... think they are saving a display for Oct 5th .. apparently they are to do a small display.
