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.

Howdy deirdyweirdy! I don't know how I missed this masterpiece but I apologize. Both the exciting and gripping tale which made me burst out laughing and the artwork. Another flawless creation of impossible proportions and beauty! You must have supernatural help with your drawings!

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'.

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! :>)

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
Downvoting a post can decrease pending rewards and make it less visible. Common reasons:

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.
