Feeling Fragile

Hi @HenryX

How has your Thursday been?

I got home late last night from work and went to bed soon after having a shower, so I did not get a chance to reply. Today I worked in a place where I do not have access to personal emails or my phone. So I am finally sitting down and writing my response.

Thank you for clarifying yourself. I too see this as a friendship between two people who may be going through similar struggles in life.

I will try what you advised. It will be hard I think, but when I get some alone time I will give it a go.

I think I do converse better with males. I do love my girl friends but often I gravitate towards my male friends. Today I had lunch with my manager (also a male) as I did not want to have lunch with my female colleague. She just doesn't seem to listen to me. There is no give and take in our conversations. She simply tries to bring every interaction we have back to what's going on in her life/family. It is fine, but i just get tired of it.

Anyways, I hope you enjoy the Easter weekend 🙂

Hi Dani,

Great to hear back from you. I am pleased that what I wrote seemed to be interesting. As I said the exercise might seem to be a bit "theatrical" and you'll probably burst out laughing halfway through, but I hope you will try it out.

Likewise, I hope you have a really great Easter & weekend

With My Very Best Wishes,

HenryX

Anything planned @HenryX ?

We are having a staycation 🙂 a date night tomorrow, but thats about it

@Dani1981

Hi Dani,

Lunch tomorrow with friends about 120km away on the coast.

A singer whom I don't know, but recommended, will be in town on Saturday, so pleasant morning-afternoon

Catching up with a friend on Monday

The rest of the weekend will be fairly quiet.

A pleasant weekend

Hi @HenryX

Hope youre enjoying your day 🙂 How's the weather? We are enjoying lovely weather over here so have been bike riding.

@Dani1981@Appleblossom @TideisTurning @Judi9877 and everyone else

Nearly 34 deg here going for 36. Have been walking lately, trying to get back into, what might be considered reasonable shape. Interestingly, since I've been out walking recently, I haven't been feeling the effect of the heat so much. Actually enjoying it.

I've been outside trying to get the car cooling system flushed but found that a bit heavy in the heat, so playing with my dog, Kirra instead. She is a lovely Kelpie/Lab. Beautiful as a dog can be.

Next, I've got to get my bicycle tyres pumped, chain oiled and do a bit of what you've been doing Dani, cycling. Gradually getting "there".

Wishing Everyone a Very Pleasant Day,

HenryX

Great to hear you are coping with the heat better. @HenryX Measurements that are too exact about human functioning usually do not allow for a host of subjective individual factors. I manage heat better when I am fitter, but sadly doubt I will be riding bikes much ... enjoy!

Great you are gradually getting ... there .... where the world feels like a better place.

I have known a kelpie lab cross and agree!

Whoa @HenryX It's a reasonable 30 deg here. We went out early so as to beat the heat.

I'm glad you're enjoying walking now 🙂 It is really good for you. I used to walk a bit, but then changed to my treadmill... not quite the same calming effect but I dont mind it.

It's nice having a companion 🙂 She does sound like a lovely dog...

Enjoy the cycling! And hope you have a pleasant day too.

Hi Dani,

It sounds as if you have been able to avoid the covid, flood, lockdown effects which is great.

I have had to postpone lunch today to Sunday because of the car. I am actually happy with that because I usually keep Friday of Easter as a fairly quiet day. But otherwise, I think the weekend will be very pleasant.

Kirra was a product of a discussion between Mum and one of the staff at residential where she stayed around the corner from me, during the last three years. Consequently, Kirra is a special reminder of Mum and I often "tell" Kirra that she is looking after me on Mum's behalf. So she is special to me in a number of ways

Likewise, I hope that you have a very pleasant time also,

Best Wishes,

HenryX

Oh @HenryX

No we did not escape COVID or lockdown... Rather struggled with it... ended up taking several days off work because of it.

That is really nice to hear about Kirra and the reminder about your mum. That is a special bond that will hopefully get you through the tough times 🙂

It will be nice to have a quiet day 🙂 We are going to have a date night, which I have been looking forward to.

Dani
