Update!
Over on AB they have made the tribute thread to Mikey a "sticky".
Nice touch from Ed!

Good morning rusty
I just noticed Mikey's tribute thread has been moved to the top. So many more ABers have now added their memories and kind thoughts. The news section won't be the same without him

Good morning, Jazzgirl!
Some very nice tributes to Mikey.
As you say, "News" won't be the same without him.
He posted on many sections, but his favourite was "News".
Poor Mikey!

Good morning, Rusty!
I am late back from my walk this morning.... ....we walked a long way!
It is a beautiful morning here, too......blue sky, (watery) sunshine and frosty....
So hard ground equals clean (er) dog!
That is good news indeed about the Olympics.....it is encouraging when we put up a good show.
Yes, that is a nice gesture from the AB editor to make Mikey's "tribute" thread a "permanent" fixture.
There is a big response........
I have just spoken to my younger daughter on the phone - it is her birthday today!
YB's birthday, too, a week on Saturday, so we have decided to have a family outing then to celebrate both events together!
That will be good......
An easy day today.......

Hello, Elle!
No harm in an easy day!
Me too!
I've been watching the Olympics.
I found the puzzle on the easy side today?
And no new words for me today!

Update for Elle, Jazzgirl, and Malone.
DTC has posted an update of what happened to Mikey, on the "Mikey" thread.
It makes for sad reading.

Rusty, thanks for the Mikey update. Yes, it was sad to read, but I console myself with the fact that Mikey was very much Mikey until cruel fate intervened.

hi rusty
Yes, I have been reading the update.
Mikey and his little dog Willy are now together again.
Bless them both

I can't seem to function properly today, as I have been in tears most of the time, like others. Although I never met Mike in person, I have "followed" him on AB for 7 years

Hello, Malone and Jazzgirl.
Poor Mikey. Poor Willy.
He was a very popular man on AB.
Always up for a debate.
Hard to realise he will never post again.
I think it was in December he posted that he was due to get a heart valve op this year.
A great shame!
