    Really good news, @Lizzie27, hope his recovery continues and he is home soon.

    Great news @Lizzie27 … please pass on my best wishes for a rapid and successful recovery. Bet you can’t wait to get him home. 😊 

    🤞 that Mr @Busy-Lizzie is seen to PDQ.

    Thanks @punkdoc and @Dovefromabove, not sure about the waiting to get him home bit, was hoping for a bit of a rest, I'm exhausted after all the running around with mountains of washing!

    Just off to see him again.

    But you’ll have to see to it that he keeps active won’t you? 😉

    Oh @Lizzie27 how lucky for you both. I'm glad for you but envious too. My OH was on the waiting list way before yours, also a private hospital paid for by the NHS. 

    I love Grease, it's recorded on my Humax box for OH who hasn't seen it.

    Is that VHS or Betamax?

    We are indeed very lucky @Busy-Lizzie, I just can't understand what has gone wrong with your OH's op, it's inexcusable. Perhaps he could get transferred to Bath? He's legally entitled to that option.

    It's like renewing your driving licence online, OH's sailed through within a week or so, I applied back in May and am still waiting! No rhyme or reason to it.

    I remember seeing the original West Side Story when it first came out in the Sixties, just blew me away and I love Grease as well.

    Pleased your OH has had his op and is recovering well @Lizzie27.  And hope you can get a bit of a rest before you have him home again.
    And still we wait for @Busy-Lizzie's OH's op.  One of these days we'll be having a bit of whoop on here.
    Night night all.

  • Good evening all,

    Finally found a moment to log on and catch up. 

    @Hostafan1, so sorry to read your news, obviously knew it was imminent, but the actuality is hard to deal with. No more pain for him, a relief of course, no more limbo time for you, all I can do is send big hugs.

    A friend of mine also died yesterday, 1 day before his/their30th wedding anniversary, such a kind and lovely man, so desperately sad. Because of Covid and his vulnerability he has seen no-one for 2 and a half years, not sure about the quality of his last few years, Covid certainly made life choices difficult. 

    Full on at work, as ever feeling guilty about neglecting Charlie, but we're reading the same book and exchanging notes, briefly. He's counting his earnings, up to 1000€ now so happy. I feel for him though, we're doing over 200 meals a day and he's washing up an awful lot of those dishes. ;)

    Have loved reading back on all your exploits, so many posts... but Happy Belated Anniversary wishes to @WonkyWomble, feel your pain @punkdoc and frustration @Busy-Lizzie

    Must sleep now, busy again tomorrow, we're looking after a funeral party at 11:30 tomorrow, it won't help me thinking about those suffering the pain of loss. Life can be so cruel at times. Really big hugs to those suffering.

    Good morning all 😊 ☕️ 

    wall to wall blue sky … the weather app says we have fog again, but it is mistaken ☀️ 

    Did I say, I had a call from Dyno Plumbers … they’re coming to dig up the floor on Friday … I knew that’s when it would be … we had plans to visit @WonkyWomble … I have a jumper to give her and she has some plants for us, and anyway it’s a good while since we’ve seen each other … but hey ho, that’s the way things go … we’ve pencilled in a visit for next  Friday 🤞 

    Good to hear from you @D0rdogne_Damsel … sorry about your friend … but well done Charlie. 👍
