I want to share some funny ditties with you just so you know it's not all doom and gloom around our place!!

I was helping Roger in the shower the other week (whilst in Melbourne) and I said to him, "Just hope out the shower darling"! His reply "Yeh sure, I'd like to do that, but that's a bit impossible at this stage"!!

Last night as Roger shaved around his beard (yes, he has a beard and looks gorgeous - and I'm not biased) he was trying to put his shave cream on top of the cupboard. He can no longer reach up with his right hand and there he was creeping it up alongside the cupboard to the top. I couldn't help it, I just roared with laughter and started singing the old Play School song "Open shut them". One of the lines is "creep them (your hands), creep them....." Oh well, maybe I'm the only one that will get pleasure out of this!!

We have settled into our routine again and this past week has been good for us both. We've had a quiet weekend and are trying to gain strength for the week ahead. We've had lots of laughs, some good chats together and just basked in each others company. It's been great.

We are enjoying listened to our old vinyl records which bring back lots of happy memories for us both. I'm so glad we didn't throw them all out, but kept about 40 of them.

Thanks to those who leave comments - I love them!!

Dear Gaynor and family

I received the news of Roger's passing through an email from David Bassett which I read this morning. I am feeling so sad that Roger has left you and the family but feel consoled in your faith and hope. Your blog is just amazing and I hope provides benefit to many others. Your close love is and will continue to be your ministry of faith. Many memories of your time in Adelaide and your showering love on me and so many others. My prayers will be with you as your new life begins.
