Virtual Pub

RichardAbbott

Hi all, just a quick catch-up note for folk in TTRPBC, by way of apology for not turning up at the virtual pub yesterday.

I ended up going through a lot of the formal process yesterday following my father's death just over a week ago - not at all COVID-19 related, and not at all unexpected as he has been in decline for a long time. But the process has been made more complex and drawn out by the restrictions on travel and such like that we are all facing. So I ended up asleep before 9pm last night!

By way of family balance, my daughter had a baby a couple of days later, though of course we're having to make do with video calls to see what our new granddaughter looks like.

Strange times.

Words fail at times like these. My condolences, @RichardAbbott Losses are never easy, even when they are long-expected. But also, congratulations on your granddaughter. Best of luck navigating these strange times.

I'm sorry to hear about your father, but congratulations on the grandchild. Strange times indeed.

I'm sorry Richard. Sincere condolences - and at the same time congratulations on the grandchild. What a world.

Getting in early today to remind club members that the Mitchester Arms is open tonight at 9PM GMT or today at 4pm EST (depending where you live). I hope to see some of you there.

Seeing me is fairly likely.

What... you decided to be visible today?

I am capable of moving far too slowly for the eye to see.
