    Hey Joel. Just wanted to say how much you have changed over the last year. I think Keegan has given you a sense of security that has allowed you to focus on the possibilities and opportunities you have ahead of you. You seem so much happier, smiling, laughing and having fun with Keegan. You balance each other out so well. I hope you make this permanent.

      I couldn’t agree with you more! He seems like a whole new person. I know he enjoyed sharing a channel with his bestie for so long, but I honestly enjoy him much more on this new journey in his life.

    “Red sky morning, shepherds warning” and “Red sky at night, shepherds delight” (?) you’ve just unlocked a memory for me, Joel! My British grandma used to say that! I had forgotten all about it. 💜 hope you all had a lovely time!

    The bit where you spilt coke on Keegan's beige pants brought back a memory for me of my late partner wearing a beautiful white jumper as we headed off on hols. In the plane he had a hot chocolate and I a tea. As he put the hot chocolate to his mouth and I was eating and drinking, I watched in horror as the sip lid had not been properly pushed down on his cup and when he started to drink it leaked profusely down over his radiant white jumper and I with my mouth full, watched in horror quite unable to speak!😮 I then quietly mentioned it to him after about a minute as I really wished to be far far away expecting smoke was about to start coming out his ears. 😡 As expected he did try to pin it on me somehow, but other than not speaking up promptly as I knew how he was going to react, it had nothing to do with me which I announced defiantly.
    After 15 mins in the toilet he returned looking much better and we were able to have a bit of ribbing about it as he'd calmed down. He was always so well dressed and conscious of his appearance and that new holiday jumper had been so beautifully white...😂 Keegan was wonderfully restrained by comparison.

      Jeff Hampton, when were you there? I grew up there so I go way back and there were three kinds, one we called a 747 because of it's size and merciless attack as it grabbed on to you and jabbed it's proboscis into you,Lol, or when you were walking down the street at night right into a swarm of them, it was lovely. I lived in Winter Park, Orlando area and it honestly was something I will never miss. Oh and of course my other personal favorite the Palmetto bug which is just a huge cockroach that can fly.
