Ha ha @greenpea ... Rita Hayworth indeed. 🤣 Actually Rita's natural hair colour was black. She dyed her hair red. Mine is natural. Was a flaming redhead when young, always got carrot top, firecracker, as a kid at school. But by the time I was mid 20's it softened somewhat into quite a pretty deep auburn/red colour. Now that I'm 60 its more a goldy/silver colour. Kept it natural all the time. Unfortunately I also have the pale porcellan skin colour and sprinklings of freckles across the nose and cheeks. Though the freckles are not so noticable these days unless I go out in the sun and get burnt.
I am so glad to hear that you are starting to feel better. Its true that winter can be a tough time for many people.
My Mum remained in hospital until today. Miraculously a respite bed became available for a short time, and I managed to convince her to take it. She has transferred from the hospital to a respite room in a nursing home this afternoon. She will hopefully continue to get a little stronger and her skin will have a chance to heal before they allow her to go home. At least the home care services are in place to assist her daily once she does go home. She needs that. My Dad is now coping better. I spent the week getting him confident in administering his own meds from the webster packs and meals are now being delivered to him daily. So all good there.
Just a quick visit for now as I have not been on line much at all over the past 2 days. Been so hectic traveling all day yesterday, trying to catch up on everything at home, then taking and making a dozen calls at once this morning to get this respite bed secured and mum prepared to take it. Such a draining day.
Back when I can. Hi everyone else ... @Gazza75 @TAB @Meowmy @Ant7 @Shaz51 @BlueBay @outlander and others.
