Hosta , may I say here and now .....I am a huge fan of yours ..... " am I the only person fed up with the " Monty and Nigel" show? last week we were shown the dog do tricks, this week we had to look at photographs of the mutt. I couldn't give a fig about the dog but he's on more and more every week"
Seriously ......this could have been a two Ronnie's sketch
I like the dogs. I don't want to watch Monty digging up his banana tree yet again.
The Harvest bring and share lunch here went well. Always get a good selection of food at such events.
Then, later this afternoon, OH was singing with the choir in an old Abbey. It was packed, lovely concert. One piece was the Chorus of the Hebrew Slaves from Nabucco, I love it.
After the Strictly results we watched a programme about Jacqueline du Pré, she was such a wonderful musician, her death was so sad, MS.

Very sorry i missed some important birthdays, please forgive me.
Weekend tucked up in bed, with minimal wanderings, can walk about 100 yards before i get very short of breath.
Back into hospital tomorrow.
I hope you don't mind, but I need some advice and in my experience, you lot seem very good at it.
I am concerned about OH, she really needed the holiday and of course did not get it, plus having the stress of organising doctors and insurance companies.
Now we are back, i am either going to be a patient, or will be about as much use as a chocolate fire gaurd.
I need to do something to help her relax, do some chilling, but I don't really know how I can do this.
I would really value the opinions of my friends on here.
How can you lie there and think of England When you don't even know who's in the team
Are you two good at talking to each other? I think you need to discuss the situation calmly and tell each other how you feel, each taking time to listen to the other. I think she would probably be quite happy with you being a quiet patient at home, much better than you rushing off to foreign dangerous places with Médecins sans Frontières. But don't get impatient or shout, being a patient is probably terribly frustrating for you. Show her you care for her and how she feels, most women are quite happy to find their man isn't as macho as they thought and has feelings. But I don't know how you are together so maybe none of that applies.

Is there a spa resort/hotel/complex near you where you can send her for a day or 2 or 3 to be pampered, steamed, massaged? Or a hobby or interest where she can go and do a day's course or a weekend? I'm assuming she won't want or accept anything that takes her away too long if you're at home cos she'll want to be sure you're OK too.
Invite friends round for dinner/lunch/Sunday brunch but order all the food and drink in so you have to do very little but get to share time with good friends who can amuse and distract her. Tickets for concerts to see with a friend......
I'm watching GW at the mo and reckon stone plant chap just has a bad barber. Thick, straight hair is really hard to get cut well and shows hat lines very easily. OH has had some horror cuts in the past but we've managed to find someone reasonably good here. Just need to hide all his horrible golf caps now.
Off to bed now. Sweet dreams all.

I’ve been worrying about Mrs Pdoc too. I’d second Lizzie - talk to her. When Mr C was ill I couldn’t even get to the SM without worrying - so maybe the promise of a treat when you are all sorted might be the best. But everyone is different, so best to find out how she feels right now .....knowing that you are thinking about her might be the best tonic of all

I watch it on iPlayer and whizz through most stuff with MD and the dogs.
Some folk love the dogs ,and that's fine, but we have only one gardening programme. Can't it just be about gardening?
There are plenty of doggy programmes elsewhere.

Pdoc, when I was caring 24/7, the one thing I longed for was a night away but I knew that I wouldn't have been happy due to worry.
I agree with others re talking then thinking about a break in the UK.....less hassle in the planning.
Put your favourite cd on, open a favourite bottle of bubbles and hold her. Even it it takes hours.
