    Morning all!
    Felt a bit mean but shut the cats out of the bedroom last night so we could have windows wide open - managed to feel a slight breeze which brought bedroom temp from 27.8 to 23.8 by this morning. (Hosta: it can’t have been my cats fighting as they are good boys who stay at home with me so no fighting or droppings to upset anyone else 😉).

    Anyone see the moon this morning?? It’s a Full Moon, Strawberry Moon, today.

    Good morning all  :) G'day Pat  :)
    Chicky  :)
    The problem with SILs condition is that his circulation begins to shut down and he feels freezing cold from the inside. Very difficult.  :'(
    The sun is burning the mist off now ... another sunny day is arriving. 
    Enjoy the show BL ... we go occasionally and enjoy it, but once every ten years or so is enough.  B)

    That’s tricky Dove. I didn’t realise it worked that way. Is there no medication that helps?

    Sadly there is nothing Pat.  There are people much more badly affected and apparently stem cell transplants or similar are sometimes an option for them but it's a risky procedure. 
    The circulation problems can impact on the organs too. 
    The best advice they've had is good nutrition, and avoid exertion and high and low temperatures.

    Morning all. OH's birthday today - spent yesterday evening making an apple cake (not very seasonal but it's his favourite) and framing prints. He's very pleased with both :).

    I'm so glad the kangaroo was a shrub, Pat - I think you've seen quite enough suffering this week.

    Enjoy the show, BL - hope there's some shade.

    Sorry to hear about Wonky's OH. Such a painful condition - hope he can find some relief and soon.

    Chicky I've never been able to directly upload videos either - only uploading to YouTube and then linking. If you make it into an animated gif you can upload it as an image, but tends to look a bit frantic! Glad all is well with chicklet's journey :).

    Not sure what we're doing for the birthday boy today - weren't sure he could get the day off until last night.  We've a school concert tonight but probably a late lunch at a bistro.
