The weekend beer and music thread

bumface said:
It's been another tough week for me and my family and I can't see things getting better anytime soon. Christmas is definitely cancelled this year. Not looking for sympathy here. It is what it is.

It would've been lovely if I could've made it down there for the game tomorrow but that's not going to happen. I miss Wales and it's been way too long since I last visited the place. Swansea are kind of my second team, but that goes out the window when they're playing us obviously. Hopefully we can get some kind of result down there.

No music or beer for me yet. Enjoy your evening boys and girls.

Best wishes buddy, family life is tough at times when you’re looking after others. My other half is going through a tough spell at the moment too. Easier said than done but keep your spirits up.

Sorry to hear about the other half, mate. I hope things improve for the both of you soon. Looking likely that my dad is going to be spending Christmas in a hospital bed, the poor old sod. He doesn't really know why he's there. He thinks that he's being punished for doing something terrible. He just wants to go home, and my back is so screwed that I can't even go and visit him. I haven't left the house for nearly a fortnight now.

Bloody hell mate, that’s where the missus is at. Her dad was in JCUH for a month, but he doesn’t know if hes at the park or the pictures. He’s home now but all the chew of arranging care for him is grinding her down. It’s so sad to see a bloke of his strength and intelligence going downhill.
Hope your back eases soon.

Take care.
If we can't wish you a happy Christmas at least we can wish you all the best for 2024.
 
I'd always assumed that this was a Robert Forster song, but I met up with him (for the first time since the late 80s) in Hebden Bridge earlier this year, when he played the Trades. He said that it was actually the last song that Grant McLennan wrote before his untimely death. He'd done a simple demo, that was all. It was such a beautiful song that Robert decided to record it.

I usually AM the care, but I can't be when I'm like this. Really bad timing. My dad's strength is part of the problem. He's been causing loads of trouble on the ward when he's at his worst and he isn't an easy bloke to handle when he's like that. I can calm him down because I've had plenty of practise but I can't do that if I'm not there.

You said you didn’t want sympathy so I won’t (but I can think it 😉) someone once said to me ‘normal’s great when you get it back’ and you know what I wish you and everyone else just ‘normal’ it’s to be savoured when you have it.
