You're very good at this.

I've often found hope too painful. It dilly-dallies and shilly-shallies and you're left scrabbling around wondering where and when it'll land. If it ever does land. Most of it is still free floating out there, impossible to truly rein in.
I'd rather do without that.

The ' why' part is especially useful. That's where the learning happens.

I'm learning this after 57 years. Yeah, it took a while. 😏😊
You put into words how I'm functioning right now and hopefully into the future. Thanks, you're great at doing that. Honestly, you so often clarify what I can't always explain.

I'll conduct an exploratory visit, just for research purposes.

I don't know. I drove past it last time I was over. I don't think I've ever been inside.

Sounds good. Have you ever been to The Rising Sun at Kingsand?

Yup. That happens to me, usually around 2am. Last night I even had to open a window!

Doesn't scare me unless I need to drive or be somewhere. I got used to it when I lived on Dartmoor.

Oh, Andrea sending virtual love and cheer.

Fully concur with Andrea. You come across as interesting, intelligent and calm.

For the 'fill yer boots' food photos, which always look lovely and delicious and for bigging up Bristol, a fab city.
