Both my parents gone back in my 20's.Not a nice thing to have to deal with. Condolences Nadia My old man passed away 2 years ago, he was 107 and was only ill for 2 days prior to passing. Before he got rough he was walking 3 miles every day, cooking, cleaning and shopping for himself, in his own house. I didn’t have a clue what to do, luckily the undertaker did virtually everything, as dad had bought and paid for his funeral several years before and left all the details with them. Sorting out his finances and his will was a whole different matter, as he had loads of money and property all over the place and I have only recently completed everything. I could have left it to a solicitor, but just the thought of paying those leeches tens of thousands for sitting on their asses, was never going to happen. I’ve sorted mine, so my wife won’t have to worry. Wouldn’t want to put her and our son though that. That’s why we both have wills in Thailand and in UK.

That's a fine innings by your dad.Especially when he was independent for so long. Would rather be dead than end up with dementia and needing someone to take care of me as so many elderly end up. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would rather be dead than end up with dementia and needing someone to take care of me as so many elderly end up. My father is kinda like that now, he's early 70's. Not dementia, but paralysed down one side after a bad stroke, incontinence and can't really communicate. Though he has his faculties, which is good or bad, depending how you look at it. He had said to us if he ever ended up like that to shoot him. But in reality you can't do that. Best we could do is a do not resuscitate. It's hard as whwn I go home with our daughter, his grand daughter, you can see the joy and happiness in his face. But I know he would not want to be as he is. Made me reevaluate my life, so I now try not to sweat the small stuff, and as less hassle as possible, try to get on with everyone. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even the front door is a water tank. 🤣 Most likely had a crane and 2 working legs. Nice effort though but not something I find attractive. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KhunDon Posted September 21, 2018 Share Posted September 21, 2018 (edited) Understood. 👍 I watched the program showing it being built the other day. The reason they included the water tanks in the design, was the droughts and water shortages the area had been experiencing and these tanks, when full with rainwater, would make them self sufficient for approximately 3 years. Internally, the house is really nice, but agree, the outside is weird, but there are many climbing and falling plants and vines incorporated into the facade. Give it five years and the greening may make me change my mind. Edited September 21, 2018 by KhunDon Used wrong word. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

john1000 Posted September 23, 2018 Share Posted September 23, 2018 Today visited Gloucester old prison with GF and friends. A truly grim place with the old tread mill and whipping post. Photos of those who were hanged in the yard and an account of their grisly crimes. The slopping out area and tiny cells with little light were still used twenty years ago. Some of the graffiti etched on the beds was interesting going back to the fifties. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
