Man of Constant Sorrow
I spent last weekend in Wrocklaw in Poland's Silesia. Minus fifteen they reckoned it was. Didn't feel it though as the sun shone on the frozen streets and Polish beer and vodka swished around our innards.It was stag weekend for one of Eldest and Youngest's oldest mates and it did me good to be away from responsibilty of hospital visits, cheering my mother up and all the other thankless tasks associated with long term hospitalisation.
Yes my Dad's still in. he's making miniscule progress though so I guess it's not all bad news. He'll need care morning and evening if he ever makes it home. No doubt about that. No doubt at all.
Consequently I am fucking depressed and, third year anniversary or not, disinclined to stick inadequate bits of verbal bollocks up here for the Blogosphere to snigger at.
Maybe in a Month or two. Sayonara!

Hey come on mate, cheer up! I'd like to take a cheap hop to Poland myself and I was thinking Wrocklaw. Could you maybe give us a couple of photos and one or two pithy insights into the character of this mysterious Polish city? It's always nice to hear about places from an ordinary (well fairly) person's perspective.
Sorry to hear about the old man. Hope to read some more of your posts soon.
I also hope you keep posting. I would like to hear more of Poland.
Don't give up Steve mate. It's therapy and you have an awful lot of people who care for your feelings and insights.
I went through a similar thought exercise a while ago, but I decided it was doing me more good than harm. I don't even care if anyone reads my blog. And if people want to snigger, literally feck 'em and feed 'em fish-heads.
Get back soon. You have a great view on humanity. And we'll all want to know how you and you're dad are doing.
Hell, if you are going to stop, at least send me an email and I'll send you my phone numbers so we can at least keep in touch.
New low mate -- my number is on my blog now. Call if you need to. We're in different yet similar positions, and we're certainly in the same frame of mind. Where did compassion go?
You are one top geezer and can't believe I've not put you on my blogroll, but that's just cos I'm a lazy fucker - anyway, good luck with the old man and I'm touched about your comments you made about jane and i over at her place, very very lovely comments, I must say!
