    Evening all.
    It’s an exhausting time Pat - but getting through each appointment and each round of chemo is a step closer to finishing the treatment. I hope the oncologist is pleased with progress.
    House move sounds exciting Liri - or as I have said, a garden that comes with a house included! 
    Your project sound excellent LG - I sense you are a neat and tidy person with those perfectly placed pebbles.
    I hope everyone is having a good day. I am...

    I should have been at Chelsea today but was not allowed to travel. It turns out we wouldn’t have got there anyway. Wee Lily has had a “crisis” which is what an episode of her condition is called 
    we are not sure if she will be able to come to Grannie on the weekend. It’s her feet this time and she can’t bear a sock on let alone shoes! Grumps told her not to worry we could put her in a wheelbarrow!
    you all sound so busy. I am sooooi frustrated
    have a lovely holiday weekend everyone

    Sorry to hear that you're all having such a hard time, LilyP. I don't know anything about your gd's situation, but it sounds difficult. Hope things ease soon.

    AuntyR that is FAB news. I know you've been preparing for a long time, and I am so glad for you that it has paid off. Congratulations! when do you start?

    And ha ha ha re: neat and tidy. I like things to have their place, it's very satisfying. But I actually live in utter chaos and squalor most of the time, always yearning for order...

    Thanks guys! I can now catch up on Chelsea, do gardening for pleasure rather than a displacement activity and generally regain my evenings. I will probably start fairly promptly, as it’s what I am doing now, but with more roles and responsibilities really, but the new junior recruits on my team won’t start until July/August probably.

    Well done, Aunty Rach

    I'm still jealous , Chicky.

    Pat, never heard of miracle berries, but sending my best wishes. You probably have this info, but if not..


    Gas men stopped play next door.  The digger pulling out stumps suddenly stopped yesterday. Digger and bobcat rapidly moved. An hour later three vans from the gas company turned up all lights flashing. They seem to have dug up the gas main to the big house.  oops.  Gas men back today and pipes have yellow tape on now.

    Hello folks 😊 I’m home after a lovely day out 😊 

    A bit bushed so congratulations, sympathy and hugs as needed ... I’ll have a proper read back in the morning.

    Congrats Aunty Rach.  Thanks Fidget. I’m planning on trying to find tablets containing the essential element. 😃

    Hope today’s appointment is ok Pat.
    Have a good day all.
