Night Owl has requested I let you all know that Mick (Bulgarian Umbrella) passed away overnight after some long-term health issues finally caught up with him.

It was not unexpected, which had fortunately given them plenty of quality time to spend together and with family over the last couple of years.

Mick has requested there not be a funeral, so maybe performing a random act of kindness for a stranger would be a great way to honour his memory for those who wish to do so.

Damn, that’s awful news. :(

He’d started peeping back in here occasionally, too.

From October last year:

From: Bulgarian Umbrella
ID: 2327464
Subject: WG & Myself

We have bought a second hand new house. WG bought it, on account she does all things important. location is currently secret. We still have the mobile home & also because WG demanded it a diesel ute for her gardening requirements. ;-)

In hindsight, we can see why it was in her name only. :/

Night Owl currently has both her and BU’s phone, so either number will put you in contact with her.

She has authorised me to pass out her number to anyone who wants it, so just ask if you with to get in contact.

The ricin in the pellet eventually caught up with him.

RIP mate

I don’t know what to say, I’m just so sad to hear this.

Well said, I concur with your sentiments

He was always a nice and decent guy when I met him so a loss to the world not just family and friends.

so sad.

That’s sad.

Nice sounding bloke BU.. a handle with interesting overtones…

So when he advised me to throw talcum powder over the swarm of bees that had settled on a horse waterer I was initially a bit circumspect :)

They don’t like talcum powder.

Sad news.

My sympathies to family and friends.

Terrible news but as you say not unexpected.

We are all getting closer to our end.

BU was such a nice bloke. Generous and genuine.

He sent mr kii some Terry Pratchett audio books on a thumb drive, with a handwritten list. I have it with me, in one of my suitcases. Mick connected with Jim on Facebook after seeing his welding table in one of my photos. I think they chatted via messenger.

My thoughts are with Weird Gran and family, you are in my heart.

Bugger. I never met him, but his posts suggested he was a decent person.

Actually, I’ve never met anyone here IRL. Maybe we need a pud while it’s still possible.

You don’t need my credit card number and cvv/cvc number?

Yes, all of that.. OK from Bunnings! etc.

But aren’t you under deep cover, witness protection or something?

Sad sad news.
One of the very good guys by all accounts.

Bloody.

That is such sad news. Don’t know what to say. Always looked forward to seeing him at Perth puds from time to time, even though they got less frequent over time. Many a good time was had.

I haven’t had the opportunity to read much in this place for a few days, but this is such sad news.

May his memory be a blessing to all who knew him.

And yes, a pud is/would be a good idea. Noting that, thanks to Covid, virtual meetings – or, in our case, puds – can now be arranged.

I tried to find your number, but it didn’t get moved to my new phone.
