    Just wait until we get some rain Hosta!!    Good luck LP.  Hope it goes well.

    Carpenter chappies are her constructing the shell.  They're going to put in a cat flap for me.  Kitties currently using the bathroom window accessed via the annex roof but I don't want to leave it open all winter as it faces west and the prevailing winds.

    Off to SM for a serious shop now and then gardening.    Have a good morning everyone with hugs as needed.

    Thanks for all the good wishes.

    You know you are 27, when the doctor who comes to talk to you looks about 15. Asked me whether I had beenbitten by any wild animals whilst in Botswana!

    Punkdoc. It's not just doctors, look at policemen too and teachers!!

    They all look like they should have notes from their mums to be out alone.

    Seriously though. I'm glad you've seen the Doc. 

    Dacha, don't ge me wrong. the nap was wonderful but not being able to sleep until 2am wasn't so good.

    Morning all.  image

    Very best wishes to LilyP for the "procedure".  Soon be over...

    I know what you mean about the age of doctors, Punkdoc.  The same appears to be true of pilots, or at least of the Ryanair one flying me back from Dublin.

    Clari, hope you get somewhere with your grandparent situation.  Not easy, but I admire the way you're handling it.  image

    Aren't there some lovely people around?  I got a Facebook message yesterday evening from someone I didn't know, asking if I'd lost a Kindle.  I have - it fell out of my rucksack as I was rushing to catch the train at Manchester airport.  He'd found my first name from the settings on the Kindle and somehow found me on Facebook (not sure until I meet him to collect it, whether he sent out loads of messages to loads of women with my name, at random, until he got a response with the right description of when/where/what had been lost).  Anyway, I'm making an unscheduled trip back to the airport today to collect it.  The Kindle is old and battered but there's loads of stuff on it which I don't want to lose - and I'm also part way through a John le Carre book, so I can now find out what happened.  image  He says he doesn't want me to get him anything to say thanks.  I'd really like to, though - what do you think?

    Yes, I did thanks Dove.

    You have an amazing memory.

    My case seems to be attracting considerable curiosity, for which I am very grateful. 

    Always loved the NHS, never more so than now.

    Glad you feel they're doing their absolute best for you Pdoc ((hugs))

    As for the age of doctors and policeman ... I remember accompanying our new senior social worker to visit a parent who absolutely refused to believe that she was old enough to drive, let alone that she was a qualified and experienced social worker ... she was 27 ... really. 

    Liri ... there are some very good people in the world image  ... does he have a favourite charity you could make a donation to?

    That's a good idea, Dove.  I'll ask him when I see him.  Thanks!  image
