Vessel Watch news

Jester's Gallery -

My gallery has 2 new additions with more being edited, the news is that GU78(Royal Escape) has had its numbers removed and WH768 numbers are replacing this, as for new name if any I do not yet know and also whether it is the replacement vessel for Rowella E521 which sank a few weeks ago remains to be seen.

Fishing

Some Mackerel have been caught on the Piers and Chesil beach but I have not been out for a week or so but plan for Wednesday and a late beach assault with Liam, although the beach has been very quiet recently but maybe a late start will sort that out.

Dogfish apparently have plagued many a boat trip.

Today's picture

GU78 now WH768

Take care

My post from an FB group

It is about time I posted a thank you to my Wife, In January 2001(aged 32) I was very ill and it was my Wife who had seen meningitis in her niece raised the alarm and basically as the doctors said saved me because if she would have left it overnight I wouldn't have seen the next day, pneumococcal meningitis nearly took me 2 days later again whilst in hospital but I am a lucky one as I have all my limbs and at least it wasn't one of my children which I couldn't bare.
10 years down the line I have not worked due to daily headaches and spinal damage but I am still mobile albeit daily pacing.
I now have arthritis in my spine and severe pains in my back but I still feel blessed that if I got this then at least it wasn't another child if you see what I mean.
So Jennifer my darling wife .. thank you x


The group is Meningitis survivors and supporters


My Poem from 2004 1 year after my normal way of living ended.


       Meningitis Bringer of Pain 



You came into my life and tried to take me down,
You grabbed me from behind and insisted that I drown,
You visited  my weakness so I had no release ,
A war within my body , no way home for peace,


Damn you Meningitis ,
I will see you die,
Damn you Meningitis ,
I will watch you fry,


Struck me down , shot gun blast to the head,
Your aim was simple , you wanted me dead ,
Like people before you have scarred , lives taken ,
The innocent , the young whole lives broken,


Damn you Meningitis ,
You time will come,
Damn you Meningitis ,
I will see you undone,


Skin infested nightmares you create ,
Disguised you lay and wait ,
Inside to the bone you destroy,
Just like an over eager child breaking his toy ,


Damn you Meningitis 
You will lose the battle soon,
Damn you Meningitis 
Your heading for certain doom,


The children you have taken can never return,
The memories still strong ,love you try to consume,
We will gain strength from their son and daughters ,
We will be strong to bring on your slaughter,


Damn you Meningitis ,
You think you strong,
Damn you Meningitis ,
You are wrong,
Damn you Meningitis ,
A message to you I send,


You Bastard leave the kids alone,
The death and destruction will soon end………………with YOUR death

Relaxation

I have a new form of relaxation albeit not being able to sit long, I have been playing with Photoshop trying to get use to all the different techniques  but ended up mucking about with my trawler images and other vessels (see below) and even been able to transfer through printer to create 3d card effects for the wifes card making.

Big Jim from photo to print

We have not been doing brilliantly in the fishing area due to high winds and "Feather chuckers" being out in force (why they can't stick to beaches and let the kids fish on the piers I will never know).

Photography has been crap lately so I have reset the camera and I am determined to spend Saturday with my boys trying to get at least 1 cracking shot, before letting James have his £2 on the 2p machine in arcade lol.

Sunday is suppose to be a wash out but after the last few weeks off next to no rain we could certainly do with some water so maybe not such a bad thing.

Have a great weekend

Pat
