Barbara thank you I hope you don't get it there's no warning you are sick I was told to take my tablets with warm water it did not make any difference.

take care all

Oh Aidan, how lovely to see you pop in. We've missed you muchly. Let's hope your recovery is a speedy one.

No Barbara, I can't teach you to sing, I'll get Emily onto it. She's had lessons and can sing anything from opera to pop, but her favourite is Boogy Woogy and big band.

Joan, hope the flu gives you a miss. :?

I've been chatting to Jonathan on Messenger. We got a few things cleared up. Dawn, his partner has RA and has Rituximab, and Bronchiectasis too. :shock: His ex, Rachel is now engaged to James.

We didn't go out today, so no sitting under the gazebo. :roll:

Afternoon to everyone.

Thank you Toni, it was nice to be able to post, after my "hiatus".

Improving steadily, must be a little better as I have been bleaching today and fussing. Making sure no bugs are lurking in corners. I can eat my sandwiches ok, crisps are a bridge too far at present.

I hope you don't get it either, with our mature years, we forget just how nasty these bugs are. Still coughing, which is annoying me intensely.
Coffee tasted more like coffee today, so hopefully I am not expecting :shock: :shock: If I start eating coal and gherkins, I will worry.

Pepe does feel better in his Drs outfit. He has kicked back a bit now and observing from a distance, ie, asleep.

Yes, the touch, or reach with the paw, is lovely.

I am sure the spid*** did come in on the broom, there have been quite a few puskins that I have not seen before, far more than we realise, seem to have brooms and wands. Pepe said they have been meeting up in the ravine.
If Miss Sleek would check that no sp****s are hanging around, when she goes back later, Bless her.

It is the "season" though. :roll: :roll: :shock:

I had to chuckle yesterday, when we had naps, of course, lay down, start coughing as per. Dozed off and kept hearing someone agreeing with something, thinking who on earth is that - it was me :shock: :? happened about 5-6 times - it's a shame really.

I am sure you were all spick and span for your neighbour - pizza under 600 calories, wow, that's amazing, there are normally squillions. Glad the show was good and you were all home by 10, even better.

Mum has been up and down a bit this past week, we have not seen them, but have been in touch, we didn't want either of them to get a nasty bug, on top of everything else. She has been seen my D Nurse and GP, reduced insulin another 4 units, which seems to have helped. It is a very fine balance at the moment. :?

Where did I miss about Tia's First Class Degree? Was I off sick? I must have been, my congratulations Lovely pic of Lucy on FB too

I am banned from my flu jab, until ab's are finished. :roll:

Hope you didn't trip over Paul, looking for clothing.

Hi Barbara - it was chilly the other night, then today I am boiled........it's like spring again. No two days the same.

I hope to carry on improving, by Monday we should be able to actually go out with Mum n Dad to the GC, they will wonder where we have all been.

Lots of actimel, to restore some equilibrium, good bugs, we like them.

The sun was shining the other day and I said to B, can you sort the tv area, it is like Miss Haversham's front parlour. :shock: :shock: the shame.

Singing away I see, there really is no stopping you now. We will look out for articles in the local news.

Joan I hope you are starting to improve, nasty sickness bugs, always at this time or year, then early into the new year, the worst time for everything to come out and try and get us. Leaving you some gentle hugs and some of the bush babies will be over, they are immune to any human ailments. Love to both and the doggies. Do you have someone who can let the doggies out for you when you are not feeling well.

Thank you Kath, I have missed everyone too. I like boogie woogie, Bette Middler sings bugle boy from company

Good that you have been chatting with J on messenger and managed to clear some things up, always a plus. His partner is poorly with RA and bronchiectasis .

No breakfast under the gazebo today, maybe a potter into the secret garden later

Hi to everyone else, Carol, Christine, Kerrin, Mig, Charrisse, Elizabeth and all.

So, for the first time in what seems an age, I think a little something delicate to have with our tea.

Everyone take lots of care XXXXX Aidan

vanilla scones with whipped cream and strawberries.

barbara12

Aiden.... cakes I do love a cream tea..never had one with strawberry..just the jam;;I might have to try 2 hope you are well enough to go to the GC..I am sure you will make it....they must have seen a difference in there profits over the last week :shock: had to hear that mum is feeling a little better with the lower does of insulin..good on the DNs..the weather is so changeable we went shopping and i was all lathered after being cold..you carry on improving xx
Kath I am up for lessons tell Emily and I love the Bogey Woogey..love the sound of the big bands and they were all dancing away to it at a 1940 weekend we went to... so glad things are going ok with Jonathan..and you have things in common how strange is that..
Oh bless Joan ..I do hope you both feel better very soon...just rest and look after yourselves..must say I cant drink warm water..suppose it would have to be tea..(())
We are having a quiet day here...touch wood..my head...
love to everyone xxxxxx

Evening all

at last managed 5 mins to pop in and have a cuppa and one of Aidans gorgeous cakes. good to see you back Aidan I have been very busy since I last popped in the days have flown past. this week has been rather hectic to say the least. I should have more time tomorrow to have a little catch up on all that's been going on in here. Welcome to moderator Denise your right virtual is as nice as the real thing.

will post more tomorrow as need to do a few bits and pieces

bye for now sfl2 sfl0 sfl

Evening to all, well, nearly morning again.

Just to say that Mum is being admitted to hospital tonight, she stumbled and fell, so they did the right thing and called 999, then neighbour hot footed it round here to bray on the door as we were dozing.
B has been round there, just popped back in for a butty, then he will take Dad to go to the hospital. I think it is a fairly local one to us, Blackburn or Burnley, not sure yet.

Her vital signs are a bit off the mark, so she needs hydrating and a thorough check over. She is awake and chatting, but not herself. Worrying.

I am staying at home, coughing for England :roll: but I have sent the Bush Babies to be with Mum, they didn't mind, I said there was a sweet machine in the hospital, they can easily raid that.

Thoughts and prayers and we can all be under the cloak.

Just when I was saying Mum seemed a bit brighter eh Barbara. She will be in the right place, we cannot administer the likes at home. I am manning the phones here.

I am glad you enjoyed the cakes, it has seemed an age since I served some up for T. The vanilla scones sounded yummy, so light.
You are right, the GC's profits will have plummeted over the past 7 days. We will get there one day I am sure

Hi Carol thank you, it is nice to be feeling half human again. You have had a busy time, plus all the questions from the animal shelter. You will bring us up to speed when you have a bit of free time. What's that I hear you cry ! There is still plenty in the shed, I have taken some and put some hours in the sock drawer, just in case.

Miss Sleek was in the ravine with Pepe earlier, a right noise and a chattering going on, I think there are many puskins who gather there now, I will have to press for information. I did try the crystal ball and it misted up :roll: They might be up to planning Halloween............or adding to Mig's potion :shock:

Well, I had better carry on and potter a bit, wait for B to call.........

Hi to Toni, Joan, Kerrin, Charrisse, Mig, Christine, Elizabeth and all

I think we are in need of some blessings, take care all, Love, XX Aidan

frogmorton

Aidan I very much hope Mum is ok :?

Did B bring news back? Such a shame, but you MUST stay away

She is definitely in the right place. Rehydration is often a problem and not eating affecting her insulin levels recently too...The Bush-babies are happy with her the nurses sharing some of the chocolates given by thankful relatives

Straight into the fridge....

are there any of those vanilla scones left? PHEW!! a couple so I don't feel bad having one. Oh oh oh! Melt in the mouth Crisps will wait Aidan these are MUCH nicer!!

I am very glad to hear that Pepe is behaving himself now and watching from a distance :animal_busy: The gentle paw pat is so sweet - no nails at al; bless Yes many cats they've met them at Hogwarts one has been here and I saw another up the lane hiding his broom in the hedge until he realised I was Miss Sleek's mummy

I suspect they are preparing for Hallowe'en and have stuff for mig's potion too :?

Now when you mentioned hearing someone agreeing reminds me of one time I was in hospital (caesarean with Lucy) asleep (on morphine) and I could hear some annoying person wailing in pain. Only to discover it was me, but like you it kept on happening!!

Oh dear me I am sorry to hear Miss Haversham's house is/was yours :shock: :shock: :shock: Shocking!!

Bleach etc soon restores things doesn't it? Talking of bleach do you know if it removes moss? I slipped on the Church gate step yesterday and Pom said bleach would fix it....I might have a go later.

Thank you for the Autumn blessing

Isn't it great to have Aidan back Kath

I am with Emily I also love that music too. Mind you we are singing a lovely song with a drum - you should hear it so atmospheric!

I am so glad you have sorted things out with your son. All is well with Rachel who is happy with James. Odd his new partner has such similar issues to yourself :?

I hope you get out today

Joan did your tablets still come back up even with the warm water? I'm not surprised really. I hope your weekend is good too

Hi Barbara it is lovely to see Aidan back isn't it?

Tia did do well she wants to do rehabilitation with animals long-term but for now she is full-time at her part-time job raising funds for her and bf to buy their first home.

It was a good night out. Barbara Nice? I thought it might be you, but no she's been on Pheonix Nights with Peter Kay.

Carol thanks for popping in so we know you are ok. Pop back when you can you know we all think about each othere


Better get on

Love to all

Morning all..
Aiden I am sorry to hear that mum has fallen..like you say she is in the right place for all the test and things..I feel for you all...will say a little prayer for mum...it is typical saying mum was a little better..bless her..will be thinking of you all..xxxI dont agree with myself either.. :?
Carol you are a busy bee, but sometimes that is a good distraction ..trouble is we pay later on..so don't over do things..any news on the new kitty...
Toni now the path to the church ..alga is so slippy has you have found out..we bought some stuff to do our flags at the back and its brilliant..meant to last 6 months..its been down for 3 so far and no signs of the green stuff..I will report back later with the name...good on Tia has done so well..and what a lovely job that will be.. oh bless some annoying person shouting out.. the things that morphine cause us to do..I was telling my hip man he had no right taking my teeth out
Right better go..see you all later xxxxxxx

Kitty

Emily would have loved the 1940s weekend. She may well come with Alex, her best friend, dressmaker, carpenter and chauffeuse. Although Em can drive, Alex is more confident behind the wheel.

Aiden, so sorry to hear of mum's fall. I think I heard the puss cats around 3am. Wobbled to the bathoom and they were having an animated discussion outside my house. I think they were checking my secret garden key.

Afternoon to all

Bill got in about 5am. After Mum was found a bed on the ward. She was comfortable and settled and we were all pooped, so it was fall into bed..................

10am, ok, better get up. Cannot miss the ab's. B rang the ward, they said Mum had been ok and they were hoping to discharge Monday :shock: OK, right.........
I am sure he will be firing some questions today, while visiting this afternoon. Has just rung, she has a chest infection as well, which won't be helping.
The care level needs are changing fast and the input they have, needs bolstering by 100% at least.
I wanted to go, but with all the coughing and spluttering, I don't want to pick up, or leave, any bugs.

Cakes are way better than crisps anyway Toni, although I did eat some today. My throat is so much better, thank goodness.

It is amazing all the hogwarts puskins, that are round and about, they are a little shy, but once they know we are Pepes Daddies, then it's fine.

Oh Morphine, I was watching the pictures rearrange themselves on the wall in my side room. :shock: You were wondering who was making all the noise and Barbara was saying they should not have taken her teeth out

We will draw a veil over Miss Haversham's Parlour. The shame.

Bleach will initially get rid of the slippy moss, but, from our experience it soon seems to re grow. There are some good products, Algon is not one of them, waste of money. I think the one we have not is ronseal, or cuprinol. Wet and forget is a good one. My crutches go like greased lightning if there is moss on stone. Frightening. Barbara is looking out for the one they use, hope it's not Algon, now that I have dissed it. OOooops

Thank you for your thoughts and prayers Barbara Mum will be ok. We will get a care package that works, by hook or by crook. Matron is on the case as from Monday morning.

Kath, I see the puskins are gathering to go into the secret garden, only those with the special keys or hogwarts scholars, have access.

I must pop in there soon, also the enchanted forest, see what news there might be.

Hi to Joan, hope you are both feeling a bit better today. Many hugs.
Carol will be catching up with some spare hours
Kerrin, Christine, Mig, Elizabeth, Charrisse, and all. Everyone take care, I will go potter a little. It is very warm today, like late Spring.

Something for T, chocolate brownie cake, nothing too heavy XXX Aidan

Hello all
Aiden poor mum, and Bil and you with all the worry...they do try and discharged people early these days..the trouble is they end up back in :roll: such a shame the NHS is going downhill..I feel for the nurse that cant give the care they want to...will say another prayer for Mum..and I hope you are improving...you are fine Aiden its not algon..read below..
Thanks for the cake is looks so good...all gooey
Joan I hope you both are on the mend..the little doggies have a good home there...it is hard to trust others with them..
Kath the 1940s was in Haworth we have been a few times ..but could get around it now..there are a few around the country I do hope that Emily can get to one..
Toni the name of the algae cleaner is Jarders..you just spray and leave it had the best reviews..we are very pleased with it..we got 2 large plastic containers it was on offer I think and bought a pump spray things form somewhere.
Right I must go visitors on there way
Love to everyone xxxxxx

frogmorton

Thank you Barbara I found Jarders on ebay at 20.99 and have ordered some straight away. Can't have the congregation falling over can we?

Naughty Dr taking your teeth out!! Lucy gives all the family secrets out on midazolam :oops:

I hope you enjoy your visitors

Joan I was lucky I was talking to Pom and she sort of stopped me going right over bless her Your pride gets dented when you fall over doesn't it!! :oops:

Poor Bill I bet he is quite distressed about his Mum Aidan. Monday does sound rather soon with her having a chest infection too :? :shock: . When Paul's mum had one recently she went of eating as well bless her.

Input needs a massive increase I agree. This is an ideal opportunity to get that sorted. I hope Dad is coping ok without her. Poor Bill has a lot on his plate ATM. Sorry you absolutely cannot visit just now :shock:

Cake is softer and nicer that crisps anyway.

It's funny what we all do under the influence so to speak :oops: You and I annoyed ourselves though!!!

Barbara's algae remover is jarders so I have ordered some to protect the parishoners. Also called 'spray and leave' so I think that's one you have used too.

A veil has been drawn over Miss H's parlour :oops: It didn't happen.

I love all the Hogwarts pusscats!! They all seem to have character and yes are happy once they know who we 'belong to'!!! Did you notice Jericat came over one day?

That chocolate brownie cake with that chocolate sauce should slip down a treat!

Kath Were the pusscats at yours at 3am! I am sorry they do cackle a lot when they're all together. They probably were checking the key though.....

A 1940's do would be great. I would enjoy that too. I am glad Emily's friend is a good driver

Love to everyone

applerose

Aiden, sorry to hear that mum is in hospital. Very worrying for you but I know they will do all they can to help her. Hopefully your sore throat will be clearing up now. Hugs for you and Bill and mum and dad.

Toni, been in the garden today and found a pair of knickers hanging on my apple tree. Any idea whose they are? Congratulations to Tia on her 1st class degree. Glad Lucy enjoyed a night out with her friend.

Barbara, how shocking that your neighbour’s ex switched the heating off. It was kind of your OH to sort that out for her. You are such lovely neighbours.

Carol, you must have been quite shocked after that terrorist attack. Glad you weren’t there. Sounds as if it won’t be too long till you get your pussycat. Looking forward to seeing a picture.

Kath, it’s lovely to hear that your son is talking to you again. Maybe he has realised that life is too short.

Joan, sorry to hear that you and Sue have been sick. I hope that you are well on the way to recovery.

Hello to our new mod, Denise. Hope you are helping yourself to tea and cake.

What’s been happening with me? Well I think car drivers are out to get me. After thinking I was going to be squashed against a hedge a couple of weeks ago, last week a driver came flying past me at about 80 mph on a 30 mph road, on the wrong side of the road, past a junction and just before a bend in the road and a steep hill. Then the other day, I was walking down one of our wynds (very narrow roads with no pavements) when a car came racing up behind me and started beeping at me. Well that’s just the right way to make me wander in to the middle of the road and slow down. A bit further down the road, the car was able to pass and the woman glared at me. I thought, “Sorry for not jumping over your car so you could get past.” :shock:

Went in to work on Friday morning to find my boss and his wife canoodling on the doorstep. She was going to visit her dad for a couple of days. I guess I was a bit jealous. Can’t remember the last time I was canoodled.

Finally got a call back from the hospital about my cyst and was told there was no point in going if it had almost gone. That’s fine by me.

Went to one of our local churches last Sunday to watch the Masai warriors singing and dancing. They are really good. They get the kids up and have them jumping and trying to sing the songs. They travel round the UK once a year doing this and selling the jewellery they make. The profits go to setting up schools and wells in Kenya.

Evening all.

To All who have asked about how its going with the pusskins at the moment we have not heard anything since last Tuesday and looking at their website there are not a lot of cats in the age group we are now going for which is 6- 10 years so we are still patiently waiting for them to call us to go back.

Christine yes the terrorist attack was a bit of a shock being a short bus ride from where we live thankfully they say that it was a homemade bomb the didn't go off properly or things could have been worse. Will put a picture of cattypuss up when we have it if I can remember how to do it it always goes wrong for me. :roll:

Aiden yum chocolate brownie cake was delicious with my cuppa took a trip to see our lovlies all are happily chomping away on their various treats. the pygmy possums were giving tiny cuddles in the absence of the bush babies, cos of course they are with mum at the hospital and raiding the sweet machine. Glad to hear your feeling a bit better and eating a little better. sending hugs to mum and hope they sort her out soon. have collected a few hours from the shed to keep as a back up.

Joan yes it has been a good day today for me I hope you have had a good day.

Barbara yes I don't mind being busy really trouble is when you are the days just seem to speed by before you know it it is bedtime. we are still awaiting a call from the rescue centre about the kitty at the moment.

Toni I know you all like to know how everyone is getting on that's why I love this little group.

Well its that time again soon off to bed so with just otter around for a bit then bed

night night all hope you all have a good nights sleep. sfl

A Very Early Morning to everyone.

I don't think I can write much tonight, I am washed out this evening.

Mum is not too bad, not herself by any means. I think discharge planned for today still, we will know more after ward round this morning.

Dad can hardly walk, B had to push him to the ward and back, he has done something to his knee, probably when Mum stumbled.

I have cancelled my cardio appointment for Wed. We need to be close by this week, if things are going to kick up a gear. Bill is pretty frayed around the edges at the moment.

I hope everyone is as ok as possible, Toni has found the perfect solution to getting rid of slippery moss. We don't want you or any other members of the congregation falling over.

Lucy gives out all the family secrets on certain meds. :shock:

I seem to be making a habit of hearing myself agreeing with whatever, while I am half asleep. Very annoying. What am I agreeing to :roll: :shock:

I remember Jericat and Tomicat came over last week, when I was in my isolation. It was lovely to meet them.

Barbara you are quite right. So many wards closed down, I know the name geriatric ward, never sounded right, but there was good reason for them to be there, to care for people who were not safe to go home and needed to stay in hospital longer.
Everything went over to care in the community - great ideas in principle.............

Thank you for your thoughts and prayers, they are, like everyone's, always welcome.

I hope you are feeling better Joan, love to you and Sue and the doggies. Let's hope you have a better week, that goes for us all I think.

Christine has found a rogue pair of knickers in her tree !! I will ask Miss Sleek to magic them into the ravine, the wood nymphs use them for roofing etc, owing to their great strength :shock:

Thank you for the hugs

You are having a fair few run in's with the local traffic. How scary, someone going so fast in a built up area, then someone beeping you out of the way, how rude. Can you not carry one of those "stingers" in your shopping bag 8) 8) that will show them.

Stay safe, please.

The Boss and his Wife were canoodling, bless, wooed on a doorstep, goodness, I cannot remember a time, ever...............we will go and have cake and T together, to get over the shock.

Glad you don't have to go to the hospital re the cyst, now that it is almost gone.

I have seen the masai warriors on tv once I seem to recall. They are really good, so tall too.

Carol is busy waiting for news of **** cats, we are all excited too.

Thank you for keeping an eye on our lovelies, very kind of you. The Bush babies are fine, one of them is in the vending machine, sorting out midnight snacks.

I am all out of oomph. So I will love you and leave you all for now.

Everyone take lots of care, love to all. XXXXX aidan

frogmorton

Hello everyone

Aidan is all out of Oooomph! I hope some more grew overnight. Pepe was trying to magic some up having no idea how to bless him. Keep on getting better - how many days have you left on your AB's??

Poor Dad and Poor POOR Bill he must be exhausted :? Bless him I do not know what to say other than things should ease once Mum is home and nearer by..... so long as her support package is increased.

No need to write much we totally understand how bad things have been for you recently just a quick update is enough!!! Behave young man!!!

Nurses eh? :roll: the worst patients

Carol thank you for the pusskin update I am so glad you are looking for an 'older' cat like Daisycat (she is 8 now) they need love too. The right cat will find you for definite.

You're right we do care about each other and like to know everyone is ok

Oh Christine :oops: the shame!! Aidan will get those drawers put to good use in the ravine :shock: No idea whose they are

How sweet the boss and his wife canoodling!! that is nice to see Awww!

Not nice mad drivers tooting and glaring :x pedestrians come first in my opinion legs were there before wheels surely?

Good news about the cyst one less thing to worry about

The Masai warrior's display sounds fun. they don't come near here sadly. I hope they raised lots of money

It's very good to see you. I hope you aren't in too much pain.

A quick hello!! to Joan :running_dog: I know you'll be along soon

Love to everyone else

Afternoon all had our flu jab this mroing and then a little shopping I sat in the car.. :roll:
Aiden I fell for all of you, and poor dad hurting his knee it is so easily done has you get older..I do hope that they keep mum in if she is not right..yes the geriatric wards ..like you say they were all designed to look after the elderly properly ..I would care but they send some home with no one to look after them :x no wonder you are both worn out..(())
Christine these cars do have it in for you, but we have noticed how bad driving has gone since the cuts to the police..they know there is not much chance of being stopped..so glad you are ok..and good news on the cyst..now canoodling Im another that cant remember the last time... :shock:
Carol I keep thinking that there is such a lucky cat out there somewhere..but it doesn't know it yet...hope you can slow down a little this week..

Love to everyone xxxxxx

frogmorton

Oh yes you do Joan :oops: :oops: and I had my trainers on with really good tread. As soon as the stuff comes hopefully tomorrow I'll pour it on the Church path.

Barbara I got it for !2.99 off ebay. If you can post the photo of the before and after I would be interested. Don't worry if you can't find it though.

The NHS has changed so much hasn't it? We can do so much more to keep people alive - open heart surgery for example as well as IVF joint replacements since it's inception.

We are also an aging population so the problems will only get worse.

Must stop worrying!

I hope all is well at Aidan's :? Perhaps Mum is home and being settled in :?

Don't push yourself Aidan you'll be asking for a relapse.

Love to everyone

Just remembered ENT tomorrow morning :shock:

Will go a walk in the Forest or maybe the enchanted garden to calm myself.

Miss Sleek is after doing some catnotism and apparently Pepe wants his light back to look up my hooter while I'm asleep. Sleek says she won't give it to him, but can I trust her?? :?

Evening to everyone -

Hi Toni, no, that ooomph has not regrown, despite pepe's spells, the broom jumped, in the closet, but that was all. :shock:

I will keep it pretty short - whilst being pretty vacant :roll: :roll: You are quite right, nurses to NOT make good patients, at all. This one especially.

Mum is home, B went with Dad and they arrived back just after 6, so safe and sound. I didn't go to the hospital, there was no point having another one slowing proceedings.

Mum said oh we can go for coffee today then................on the way back, bless, no mother, you cannot, you have pneumonia and have just come out of hospital, besides the DN is coming

The D Nurse is already primed and is coming today, on the promise to phone us first to make sure B can be there. I won't go, or it will be like the Spanish Inquisition. :?

Will take it one stage at a time. I think the OT are coming out too, to assess home needs etc.

To answer your question, 4 days I think, left on the AB's and I will not be at all sorry when they are done with. I now have a constant cough............

Thank you for the hugs Joan, they will be passed on. I hope you are feeling better.

Hugs from Barbara too, We will be ok, if I had not been so rotten this past week, it would have been a bit easier to handle. But, these things tend to be thrown at us, ours is not to reason why :?

I see the cloak is needed ASAP for Toni's ENT appointment today. I wondered why pepe was busy in his Drs bag, with the nasal speculum and light............ :shock: :? I don't think he got it from Miss Sleek, he cast a spell and one appeared, as it would be for the greater good :shock: Don't worry, you won't feel a thing................I think Miss Sleek has spoken of her shock to Pepe, over the crystal ball, so he is being a bit quiet this evening, with occasional gliding and posing on the carpet, looking coy.

We will all be there, have no worry of that, Sleek and Pepe and probably a few bush babies in the mix. I have told him he is not an ENT specialist, but it is like talking to the wall. :roll: :roll:

I am sure the enchanted forest was calming and welcoming. I might pop in there myself.

I have re scheduled my cardio appointment for 1st November. Just my appt with one of the practice nurses on Thursday pm, we just talk shop really

I think I am ooomphed out. Time for a little potter.

I leave lots of love and abundant hugs to all. Hope all goes ok at the appointment toni.
Hi to everyone else, will catch up again asap.

Take lots of care XXXXX Aidan

Thanks Joan, we will always do whatever we can do keep things running smoothly. Hope you and Sue and feeling better.

I don't blame you for not wanting to re type Kath, neither would I. I am still all out of oomph, falling asleep in chair etc :roll: Lovely pic of the forest

Thinking of Toni, I know it has been busy under the cloak, there are two pygmy possums that I cannot find, Barbara, have you got them in your pockets? did they get out in ENT I know Pepe was out with his light and scope, until miss Sleek whizzed him back underneath.

Leaving hugs that all went ok, you will be tired and in need of something to revive you, so let me go find a little snack to go with a cuppa.

Things are ok here, B has been on phone, to here there and everywhere, getting things sorted D Nurses etc. Mum n Dad have been to podiatry, wild horses would not keep them from that appointment.

Right, some cake, quick, will be back later, after another nap. XXX Take care Aidan
