Heavy, heavy angst.

I'm dealing with my some RL angst this morning. It's my partner's 50th birthday. Not even the complete Father Ted boxset has made a happy bunny of this boy. :sigh:
Mood:: 'pensive' pensive

::big hugs::

Once he watches a few eps, he should feel better. I defy anyone to remain sad when Fr. Ted is in the offing!

He's taken himself off to the loft aka his shed/cave to do Man Things with his computer. He's happy enough, having downloaded some pirate software or other he can mess about with, ultimately destroy all normal functions on his comp. and end up having to re-install windows. Again. So, it's just business as usual, really. :snigger:

Hopefully we will both get to watch some FT later, though.

You and me both!

Happy birthday to Mark! Sorry that he's so down about which birthday it is. Hope Father Ted cheers him up. :o)

TBH, it was the Saga brochure arriving last week (how did they KNOW?! O:!) that started the moody. Writing on the wall... :G:

Ah well, Boston Legal and Suburban Shootout are on later. That might cheer him up a bit since he's resolutely refusing to go out and 'celebrate'.

Wow, talk about quick off the mark. Uh...no pun intended.

I don't blame him for being down about that. I tend to think of Saga as being for over 60s - not 50s.

Hee... oh, it's there for me too. Not yet, but defo coming over the horizon. Man - where did my life go? That was quick! O:

Hmm , Yes, Saga arriving on the doorstep is a real downer. Even the name, SAGA sounds, I don't know, dithery or slow, or something like that.

Hopefully, watching FT should cheer him up.

Sending hugs your way.......

We watched the Hitler/Chinese one tonight. I do love FT!
Thanks for the hugs, anyway. ASre they for me? Or him (in which case I might have to glare disapprovingly).

LOL! LOL! Why you of course...Absolutely. We fangirls stick together. Support each other.

However, if you are feeling generous you could always share. *G*

I'm sorry he's not growing older with grace! I'm afraid I'm not very sympathetic about people not liking growing old, these days, though. =>}

After watching my best friend die of cancer when she was 40 and I was 44, I have little patience with it. I would give ANYTHING and I know she would too, for her to have turned 50 a couple of years ago.

I don't mean to be nasty, but it DOES tend to put it all into perspective.

(I'm about to be 56 btw. =>} )

p.s. What is SAGA?

Urm... I was only having a laugh. he's not sitting around sulking or anything! And 50's a pretty big milestone.
Since his mother died of cancer at 52, I guess he has a right to be a little introspective. In 2 days it will also be the 1st anniversary of his dad's death, so I guess that's on his mind too.

Saga's an organisation for the over 50s, btw.

Sorry for overreacting then. I have a tendency to do that. I'm very sorry that he lost his parents so young. Not nice at all, I'm sure.

Here we have CARP! No kidding. Canadian Association of Retired Persons or something like that. In the States, I think it's AARP. Heh heh! =>}

Sorry for overreacting...
It's OK. The whole things's a bit emotive for everyone, I guess! We went out and fed the ducks today - had a nice time. We have wine, it's a good night for telly, we're having a lovely evening. Hope you are too ::smiles and waves::
Carp! How BIZARRE! Which reminds me, we saw a really huge fish leaping for mayfly today. Amazing sight. I probably enjoyed the baby ducks more, though :G:

Sounds like a very nice day. I'm still having an okay afternoon. It's only 4:30 here. =>}

We get a couple of family of ducks at the little beach by our cottage every summer. We get to watch them grow from fluffly tiny ducklings with brown stripes, to almost mature "teen" by the time we leave for the Fall.

We feed them cracked corn every morning and they all come running up from the beach as soon as they hear us shaking the container. So cute! =>}

Ooh, squee!!! I love baby ducks. There's this exceptionally cute one on the lake, an only child, much doted on by his/her parents that we have a special love for.
Ducks truly rule. They're such an interesting shape. :G:

It's really fun to see them when they're tiny. They can't dive down yet and just bob around like corks. We're sure the mother of one little family was one of the baby ducks once brought to our little beach by HER mother. They're back at the cottage as soon as they seen we're around.

Watching the little families waddle up to the corn is so funny! =>}
