Uncle Martyn is dying -> Died 29092025, 4.05am

Update 29 Sept 2025: Martyn passed away at 4.05 am. Apparently he struggled to breathe at the last. We wish he had morphone injections available to ease that suffering. Flowers sent by Anne. RIP.

I rang him on Sat 27 Sept, to tell him that I loved him, and to thank him for being so good to me over the years. I could hear him breathing (like Darth Vader) - it was very upsetting. Aside from the fybromyalgia, he has developed acute leukeamia, and is bleeding through tissues and his nose. This was his visit to Brisbane on 6 May 2024 - https://ticketsherself.blogspot.com/2024/05/visiting-uncle-martyn.html

Uncle John puts up my front window shades

Johnnie came down from Mt Glorious to put up the saheds for me. At first he was skeptical, but we worked out a way to cut them in half and make it work. Now I need to paint them!

Frank makes a security door - Sept 24

Frank ROwan - old Scots guy who is making me a security door for the front verandah. He's a nice bloke, a bit slow at the work, but fun to chat with.

Yesterday, Today and Tomorrow plant

I think it needs a lot more sun to grow more prolific, but it is shaded there under the big palm!
