Good morning all 😊 ☕️ @Busy-Lizzie the news the other day re Bro’s eye was that, whatever the growth was that Moorfields removed from his eye, it wasn’t cancerous. They think it’s probably been caused by the immunotherapy he’s having for the tumours in his lymph glands etc.
They can’t say it won’t reoccur, but if it does they can remove it again PDQ. While he has suffered considerable loss of vision in that eye he can still see colour and shape and for that he’s very grateful.
The other eye’s not great but new glasses should help ... he’ll not see well enough to drive again but as his abdomen and lungs are too impacted by the tumours to sit up straight in a car, that’ll make no difference anyway.
He is just so much brighter now he knows that it’s not cancer that’s spread to his eyes, and he’s taking an interest in the farm and other stuff again.
Moorfields and Addenbrookes and associated clinics are being wonderful. 💙

Love baby sparrows @Hostafan1 ... OH has just whizzed down to Wrose to get mozzarella for tomorrow’s pizzas ... no mozzarella = no pizza and we didn’t have pizza last Saturday ... he’s getting withdrawal symptoms 😮

Early start this morning - 5am but I didn't get up until 6.30am. Opened the house to let the breeze through, OH took the dog for a walk in the cool, breakfast under the pergola.
@Busy-Lizzie I dropped a big tin on my foot once, right on the toenail, felt the pain half an hour later right up to my knee. Husband had to make a hole in the nail to let the blood out!! I too, watered well yesterday evening and I too, slept through the night without having to get up for the proverbial wee (until 5am).
@Obelixx If I let my hen into the garden and leave my kitchen door open, she invites herself in. Loves to peck around the floor and help me with the housework! Needless to say, she is in lockdown in her (very large run) under the Feijoa tree with the plastic glass house as her boudoir until further notice - probably until late September/October. Funnily enough, she makes a beeline for the pepper plants which aren't doing well this year.
@Dovefromabove I sat outside yesterday evening with a glass of robust red and watched the first part of Sewing Bee. I had a pair of Oxford Bags around 1973/74 I think it was. It was the trend then. Funny how fashion turns around.
@D0rdogne_Damsel Enjoy your luncheon and good luck with the coach lunch. It is soooo hot here. It seems that I can only stand the heat for so long - getting older or just that the heat has come all of a sudden?
Enjoy the day and happy gardening today to all .......keep on forkin' Tui
I've managed to top up the bird. feeders and have a quick walk around the garden. It looks tidy but so much deadheading needed. Now off to the Tearoom, busy day. Vaccination appointment has been postponed as the doses haven't been delivered. At least I'll enjoy my meal this evening but I do hope it won't be too long before the doses arrive.
