Things That Gladden The Heart

Went for a walk before lunch. The wild flowers are in bloom, and the noise from all the bees was amazing. T-shirt weather after a cold start.

Another few months and the campo will have reverted to semi-desert but between now and then walking in the mountains is amazing. Wild boar, the odd lynx, Ibex and Andalucian vultures soaring along the ridge lines.

No birdies, eagles or albatrosses?
 
I absolutely love animals.
I used to shoot when I was a boy but I never hunted. Just couldn't do it.
I'd be a vegetarian if I had any self-discipline, but I just wasn't raised that way.
What mitigates the guilt is that the animals I've loved the most...my dogs...were all dedicated carnivores.

Dogs that I've never seen before in my life come up to me to be scratched behind the ears and under the chin.
Cats seem to like me as well.
Most human people I know would gladly have me hanged, however, so it's a mixed bag.

A few of my mates back in York I don’t see much at the moment all came on Xbox last night and we had a great few hours playing FIFA20.

I’m on the organ donor list, however I don’t know if I’m barred,
I had several massive blood transfusions 20 months ago and I know I cannot give blood as a result, may also apply to my organs.

I know that when Forum Legend RickG passed away his organs helped several people and was a source of comfort for his family.

Since my transfusions 2 of my daughters have given blood, I simply wouldn’t be here without 23 individual donors ( yes 23 units in 24 hours)

I would have no hesitation in any of mine or my daughters organs being harvested in the event of my/their demise

Never knew that but it's great that one of the best guys we had on here lives on in some way having passed way too soon. Shine on Rick (y):)
 
Getting through the entire day without knowing the result of my team's ice hockey game last night. Sitting down at 6.30 in the evening to watch the game as-live and seeing them produce the best performance in the last 3-4 years in destroying the opposition 9-2. Sometimes things do work out for you.
