Your life in the cold lands with the Irritable Bowel

I'm sitting here wondering whether to do some ironing or go to the ship. I'm going to be aboard all day tomorrow, so I'll stay here and do domestic things. Autumn's morning chill and gloom have surrendered to a blue sky and the warmth of the sun. As I said on the other site, I think about you more than usual during this time of year. I wish you were here to enjoy the life here. I know that all of your friends are back there, as are all of the familiar things which make you happy, but never forget that the old Irritable Bowel herself is also back there! No such creature exists anywhere else that I know of.

If I don't go and start ironing while I still have the motivation to do it, then I will find a way to do something else more enjoyable!

I'll finish this later........


With all of my love,

Congratulations!

Hi Amester!

You made it to one of the milestone birthdays in your life in spite of all of the distractions and malevolence.

Congratulations on your induction to NHS!
Your induction is not a result of any contibution either of your parents made - it is due solely to the amount of effort which you have chosen to invest in yourself.

You, and you alone, have earned the honor which has been accorded you, and once again, you are in the company of the "best of the best".
As your father, I take great satisfaction from seeing you guiding your life with such hard work, good character, and wonderful spirit.

I know that you know how much I love you and regret not being able to see you.


With all of my love,

Bub
