As a proud Aberdonian and Aberdeen and Scotland fan, I’m gutted about Dennis passing. He was a true football legend who never forgot his roots and did so much for our city on and off the pitch.

Rest in peace Dennis ❤

(what a horrible week)
I’ve got a house full of Man Utd supporters . That’s what you like to see someone that’s always remained grounded and humble no matter how well known they became x legend!

Tbh it often is pneumonia for those with underlying illnesses.
Yeah, the same happened with my granddad. His immune system was nonexistent in the end, and everything he could catch, he did.

I liked how even in their own grief, they took the time to think of others suffering and not to give up because she never did. This is what Maureen posted:

"Our beautiful @thelindanolan left us yesterday, so much to say not sure where or if I can start, countless memories, countless laughs, and constant support when you really needed it, I am heartbroken as we all are, just so sad," she wrote.

"I would just like to say, to all the people out there who felt inspired by Linda, the big C didn’t actually get her. She contracted double pneumonia over Christmas and New Year and because of her immune system it was one battle too much.

"So please keep hopeful and strong if you are suffering, she lasted nearly 20 yrs with one cancer or another, and so can you,"

It's Mark's birthday today as well. There is never a good time to pass but on her husband's birthday is extra sad.

With all this death in the news, it does make you wonder about your own mortality. Wonder how long you have yourself, to be grateful for everyday of health, and take nothing for granted, and especially to stress and worry less. Anyone ever feel the same? Does it make you reflect sometimes?

For the first time ever I contemplated arranging a direct funeral as costs have doubled or tripled for standard funerals. Makes sense if like me you don't have friends or family. A cremation with no service I think it is and a fraction of the price.
Death really does give one a sense of urgency, definitely if you're of the older vintage 😐

Russian figure skaters Yevgenia Shishkova and Vadim Naumov were killed in the mid air collision, after travelling back to D.C. from US Nationals in Wichita, where their son was competing. They won the World's pairs title in 1994, back when figure skating was still watchable. Just awful news.

The Ballad of Lucy Jordan is one of my all time favourite songs.

Many years ago I saw a One Woman Play based on her life - it was superb. Funny and moving.
What an amazing life she had. The highest highs to the lowest lows. Her later performances were just stunning. Raw, emotional and a reflection of everything she'd been through. Just incredible. RIP Marianne.

I'm so sad about this. He was very close to Yootha and was with her when she died from alcohol addiction 😞 I hope they're both up there having a good catch up.
