The pictures are iconic.
This was an event of mass destruction that was seen live across the world. Never before had such a tragedy unfolded before all of mankind.
We all know exactly where we were on that day 10 years ago, and exactly what we were doing.
What we didn't know, was who or where was next. It was a frightening time for us all, not just America.
It is only right that the world pays its respects. It is all we can do.

Morning Chris xx What else can be said about today ? Big Guy really is amazing. He has most definitely turned the corner now, and improving daily. Everything crossed that he can get home soon. He has to, he has his brand new motor at home waiting for him !

Hi John xx Hope you had a good day yesterday ? Yes, Big Guy has a new motor, which is waiting patiently for his return. Off to a Horticultural show this afternoon [local] No stopping the excitement here today ! xx
ReplyDeleteG'd afternoon All,
ReplyDeleteYep, Phil asked me to send his old navy telescope over so that he can see his new car from the ward.
This is it, and it's been sitting in his drive, untouched, since 1st Sept.
If ever a guy was determined to get outta that hospital, it's the Capn.
Hilary say he listens to Smooth Radio all day (and night) when he's awake, and wondered if we could phone in for a song request for him.
Today is no good...schedule isn't suitable - AND his batteries are dead (getting new ones later today), As from tomorrow things will be running 'smoothly' (pardon the pun)
Here's the number for the station - please mention that he's on Teesside, and in the James Cook Hospital.
0845 345 1004
PS. Some of his Favs....Sitting on The dock Of The Bay (Otis Redding), Horse with no name (Eagles), Slow (Rumours)...and ANYTHING from Tamla Motown's heydays (Four Tops, Marvin Gaye etc.)
ReplyDeleteNice one George xx Do they have a web site for the 'out of towners' at all ?!" xx
