Went to the hotel pool to swim, Ryan likes swimming around in the water on his own, occasionally I get in and we swim together but he likes his own space in the water, all the sunbeds were taken, so i stand and watch holding the towels, a Irish lady comes up and says I'm to have her sunbed, no no it's ok I say politely,we all see you at night at the Disco looking after him she says pointing to a group of people she was with,now you be quiet and sit their with your boy she says in a thick Irish accent, so I thanked her and did exactly asi was told.
Tomorrow morning, in a few hours I will bid a final farewell to my eyes, my ears, my nose, my protector, my best friend, my partner and my son. I cannot express and won’t even attempt to express the contributions my partner made to the community he served, and to me whom he protected. At times knowing he was going into battle, and disregarded natural instincts and put his life before mine. Some will see him as only a dog, but to the lives he undoubtedly saved, and touched he will forever be CP109 K9 King, a hero. Here to take care of what needs taken care of, always ready to carry the burden. Rest easy son, if there’s a heaven for heroes, you’re there as the most beautiful of Gods creation, Man’s best friend, my best friend. In 1,000 lifetimes I’ll never deserve you 💙😢🙏

Feeling very sad tonight. I've arranged today for Anne to enter full time care in about 10 days. Here we are back when love was young. I was punching way above my weight with her but she's been my rock & pal for 40 years & I'm blessed I found her. Today a bit of me has died. 🥺
Lovely views from this little spot in #cobh#countycork kids play park, fresh water access, €10 per night #motorhome#campervan lovely walks and beside the train station, kids loved the wee journey into the city #summerfun

Billionaires who've paid £250,000 to see the Titanic sadly and tragically go missing and it dominates global efforts to rescue. Compared to the stunning lack of rush to save refugees fleeing war and famine missing off the coast of Greece…..
