He has earned our concern after so many years of ladder borrowing, a tipple of champagne, and that pork pie hat.

Please let him know that confusion is a known side effect. Hopefully with the addition of antibiotics the Mayor's wife will be in his bed again soon.(sorry to have Sophie's blog become a discussion of old lady maladies. The potential for Village excitement at the Monday funeral is much more interesting.)waterdoghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01725676831921855173noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-860373600653353661.post-82257128246283469912022-05-20T13:38:43.929+02:002022-05-20T13:38:43.929+02:00I went to the funeral of a great-uncle, and both o...I went to the funeral of a great-uncle, and both of his wifes showed up, he never divorced the first one, she saw the obit on the newspaper and showed up.

It has been a blessing to follow their story over the years, and I hope her condition may still improve if an infection is involved. The article about dog morphology is timely. Two Irish wolfhounds have recently joined our neighborhood dog gang. They definitely stand out from the typically tiny Tokyo dog, but they all still seem to recognize each other as fellows.Lisa in Tokyonoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-860373600653353661.post-62934033110453538962022-05-20T11:05:17.170+02:002022-05-20T11:05:17.170+02:00Echoing Gail's wise words - the poor man must ...Echoing Gail's wise words - the poor man must feel almost as lost as his wife. Good that you could offer comfort to him Angus. Our thoughts will be with him.<br />Hoping that the delay in the funeral doesn't give time for tempers to rise and arguments to fester. It seems that family occasions such as funerals (and occasionally weddings too) are a good excuse to air long held grievances.Coppa's girlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16459503600694841117noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-860373600653353661.post-55454031480345218172022-05-20T10:15:49.886+02:002022-05-20T10:15:49.886+02:00Taste of France - I'm assuming from the old ma...Taste of France - I'm assuming from the old mayors description that the inheritance is likely to be 'contentious' and that the previous wives and the current wife may well have 'words' over who gets what.... or worse.Angushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13905037014736070475noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-860373600653353661.post-25682316814531479572022-05-20T09:57:12.013+02:002022-05-20T09:57:12.013+02:00Hard to type through tears.

In the end, they died three weeks apart. <br />It's sad that we are collectively concerned for the Old Mayor's wife, whereas the family of the quadruply married dead man are preparing for battle. Some families are wonderful and some decidedly are not--and there's no place like a funeral for the bad ones to display all.<br /><br />Taste of Francehttp://francetaste.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-860373600653353661.post-8745001158909040762022-05-20T08:18:34.502+02:002022-05-20T08:18:34.502+02:00The poor Old Mayor.
