Good Afternoon everyone, Thank you for your good wishes the scan was carried out this morning and now we await the decision as to what will happen next.
LB Sorry to hear you’ve had a rotten nights sleep, hope you have a better night tonight. Glad you had a nice trip out with bestie yesterday and some plant purchases, have you seen Jack? I hope he is recovering well at home,
SGL Hope the rain doesn’t put a stop to all your gardening today, it’s certainly had a good watering lately,
Rubee I’m sorry to hear of your OH’s painful swollen legs that must be absolute agony for him, I hope these new antibiotics get working swiftly, take care of yourself too, Bluebells I hope you find your new shoes comfy, they sound a nice style that you could wear with any outfit, Debs What sad news for your friend, they must be so upset by his actions what an awful thing to happen.
Topbird I’m glad you enjoyed your time in Germany you’ve been busy on your return home, hope OH enjoys his karting trip. Made me smile the thought of you & your companion each having a garden kneeler, I might need to get another one too 😊 Hazel Nice to hear the picnic bench has been properly christened with son & 23, perfect for a family get together, It started off wet here today, but it’s brightened up this afternoon hope it’s a nice weekend for us all.
@debs64 so sorry to hear about your friends daughter. She must be absolutely devastated. After being together for so many years and so close to the wedding day. Do hope he talked to her and explained why and not just left her wondering. I can only say better before the wedding day than to either go through with it and leave after a short time or worse still on the actual day.
@Chivetalking glad all went well with your mum's appointment. Do hope she doesn't have to wait too long. Unfortunately it rained all day, so unmentionables were done today. Although it's dry and sunny now 🤷♀️🤣 @Topbird glad you enjoyed your holiday. Hope you had a lovely catch up with your friend. @Rubee I'm so sorry to hear your OH is in pain and his legs are swollen. Do hope the new antibiotics help.
Good evening all. Good to see you T'Bird but we can appreciate you having to spend a lot of time getting straight after your trip to Germany and, if I remember rightly, your next trip is to Canada? I have got relatives there in Toronto. A trip there is on my bucket list. I asmiled when I read about your cat moving to your warm kneeler once you vacated it. Lily does exactly the same on my sofa. When I get up to do something Lily sneaks in to the warm spot so that I have to re-position on my return.
Ruby I am so sorry to hear that your OH is having more problems with his legs. I cannot begin to imagine how debilitating that condition must be. I hope that these different antibiotics can bring some relief.
Debs I was stunned to hear the news about your friend's daughter. What an absolutely dreadful situation. She must be bereft - especially after such a long time. Very strange that he has cut off all communication.
I managed to get quite a bit done in the garden before the heavy rain arrived and, like you Yvie, I have two stunning groups of buttercups I have been nurturing. Must admit that they do look very pretty.
Chive, I'm glad that your Mum has had the scan done. I will be interested to hear what the next decision is.
Cacoethes: An irresistible urge to do something inadvisable
@Ladybird4 - yes our next trip is a 'big one'. We fly to Vancouver (beautiful city) where we have a couple of days spare (in case we had to do a PCR test...) for exploring before boarding a boat to do a coastal tour of Alaska.
Lots of glaciers, maybe some bald eagles, some bears, some whales etc etc. It's with the same company we did the coastal voyage of Norway so - no cabaret, no theatre, no Captain's table nonsense, no 'dressing for dinner' malarky. Just sensible people wearing weather-appropriate clothes and a lecture theatre and science centre where the stage shows 'should' be. I think you'd love it LB!
Debs - sorry to hear your friends news.What a very sad turn of events.
Rubee - I cannot tell you how much I sympathise with you and your OH. I know from professional experience how much he must be struggling. I do hope his new prescription helps. Thoughts are with you both.

Oh wow T'Bird! You are so right, I would absolutely love something like that. I will be hoping for lots of reports on T'Bird's Travelogue! I am signing out for tonight people and I'll see you all tomorrow. Night night all.
Cacoethes: An irresistible urge to do something inadvisable
Hello all thanks for kind messages. Apparently he has been in touch very briefly to say it’s all too much he hates his life and even the dog they have together is too much responsibility. He has struggled with no confidence and anxiety for years and I think the wedding was a commitment he doesn’t want and he has basically run away. My poor friend is devastated and trying hard to support her daughter who is heartbroken. As you say better now than later but such a shame
Oh @debs64 that is so sad, he must have been in such turmoil these last few months. And I would imagine it took a lot of courage to tell her. Still so heartbreaking for her, hope she's ok.
@debs64 - I know your thoughts are with your friend and her daughter but I seriously hope her ex-fiancé has some support just now. He is the 'bad guy' in all this but, from what you've written, it sounds as though he is dealing with some health issues of his own. I hope somebody is kind enough to reach out to him too. He may need it.

Evening All, SGL Oh sorry to hear there was no let up in the weather today, hopefully it will improve in the next few days. Atleast now you are up to date on all those unmentionables 😇, LB Personally I think they will want to remove this bar, but we shall see. Hope you have a better sleep tonight,
Topbird That sounds such a fantastic trip, what an experience you will have!
Debs As Topbird said I hope the troubled young man receives some help, how desperately sad for all concerned.
