Bad day ends on a positive note. My mom broke her hip and she is in bad shape from another illness. I guess I should say fracture. I had to decide between palliative care or surgery. If that fracture spreads she would need a hip replacement which she probably couldn’t tolerate so I went with the surgery. It was a success and she tolerated being put under which was a big concern. I just realized this is the first surgery she had in her life. Like ever. That to me is amazing I already had two by the time I was 11. So here is to mother walrus a speedy recovery and my best to everyone out there dealing with ill loved ones, it really is a bitch. I wish I could take the fracture rather than her cause somehow I always bounce back from these things.
Wishing your mother a full recovery. Sounds like she raised a good son.

One of the joys of collecting vintage watches is that you sometimes get to know the watches history from the family selling it.

This one came from a respected Teacher in another city and was reluctantly sold by the surviving spouse who had to relocate to my city where her son arranged its sale. The original owner was a fastidious man who liked all his possessions well maintained and looked after.

This one when seen in its watchbox surrounded by other Roamer 44's strikingly stands out as green gold amongst all its yellow and red gold compatriots.

Go Charlie3755!

I have a good friend who has to undergo that at present.


Shameless Hussy is out parading around today.

It's roofing day and the contractor was on site by 6:45 AM to begin replacing the roof damaged in the hail storm of the 23rd of May this year. Mrs. noelekal's shrubberies and flower beds are "taking a licking, but keeping on ticking" (we hope)!
