Soft landing.

bouncy castle proper.png

Nothing in Bob's life ever went according to plan. Desperately depressed he tried to end it by throwing himself off the balcony of his apartment, only to land on a bouncy castle which had been placed in the garden below not a minute before.

According to the Bible, Is it sin against God if a law enforcer is forced to take someone's life in the line of duty?

So did I (got a good laugh out of it)! What else could go wrong? or maybe this was a case of something going right.
Next up, he needs to befriend a little kid or a lost dog and conquer his depression.
Bob. Somehow you chose the perfect name for this guy.

Thanks Carol, but I don't think that'd help. It's having to work with children and animals that's depressed him in the first place;)
But seriously, I do believe you're right, about the animals at least. I'm off to the countryside soon to 'live off the fatta the lan' an' have rabbits'.

Fit as a flea! Good to hear @deirdyweirdy. Don’t sell yourself short about your skill.

A new expression, I’ve heard ‘fit as a fiddle’ before. 😂

Hahaha! I wonder what happened next.
Did he bounce up high, or just lie there, for a while after which he decided to start bouncing around, be in the moment, get out of his head and play, like a kid, to feel better.

Keep those stories coming! :>)

He bobbed about for a bit and then went off to buy a rope:)
Thanks a lot for your kind support.
There's tons of interesting stuff in your blog and we joined around the same time. I'm surprised I haven't come across you before. I just happened upon an interesting comment of yours recently which prompted me to check out your page.

Let's pretend that it was a skipping rope ;>)

I guess there were way more fish in the sea back when we joined. People seem to be finding each other ( again ) lately though and user activity of those who stayed is soaring. Good times are surely ahead of us.

P.S. What's wieth the Amsterdamstays link on your profile page? Are you a Dutchie?

Ok Pollyanna, I can play pretend... a skipping-rope it is... and the good times are most certainly around that next corner:)
A Dutchie? Crikey, no. I'm Irish born and bred but I did live in Amsterdam for some 15 years. And before I say any more, I see you're in Portugal but your name looks Dutch. Do tell.

Amsterdamstay is an accommodation-rental website I run with a few friends.

Ah, Irish. I am Dutch, that's why I asked :>)

When did you live in Amsterdam? I only lived there for about a year in 2009/2010. I'm born and raised in the cheese city: Gouda

I lived there from 2000 to 2015, returning to Ireland after my father became ill and likely staying put here. I visited Gouda on a tour bus once for about half an hour.

15 years wow! Funny to hear that in a decade and a half you only visited Gouda like an Asian tourist ;>)

I get the whole ill father thing. It's not always easy to live our own lives, to be selfish enough for this. I am still struggling ( mentally ) with this myself, as my father's health has decreased more and more since I left The Netherlands two years ago. Not that he was healthy before ( depressed and a heart patient ) but now he has progressive lung fibrosis too.

That's a difficult one alright. For me, there wasn't much of a choice but to return since he was on his own without any other family.
