Good morning folks - thanks everyone for your kind thoughts
It's a lovely morning here - the sun is rising over frosty trees and the sky is bright blue. Temp last night went down to -0.6C and is still there at the moment.

My condolences on your loss Dove and Lyn's on the other thread that I have followed but found it impossible to comment ,not sure why I have this problem but what I should say sounds awkward whilst I have no words for what I want to say. The only person I've lost was my brother in law whose death devastated two families, 20+yrs later and we still feel his loss
Had a quiet day yesterday taking in deliveries and OH admitted this morning that we forgot post mix for the posts
Puppy play date later and I'll get my dad to take me to Wicks
Another lovely looking day today and 104 children (I'm going to their school) so here's hoping it stays drive in the playground!
Dove, I hope youunderstand my ramblings on the other thread. Having seen all my grandparents struggle to live somehow watching them pass away seems the nicest thing that could happen to them. I'm so glad father had a nice nurse to keep him company too,
Had an early night and have only just seen your sad news Dove. Hugs to you and your family. Hope your visit to see Ma today goes well and that she can understand without getting distressed.
Bright and frosty again this morning and am just going for a walk. Clari, Reggie is doing well with you. Have a good time at puppy play date Winter.
Glad you're able to get back 'down the valley' LilyP. Look forward to hearing what has tempted you
Dove, so sorry about your Pa, although aged still doesn't stop him being you dad does it, I hope all your happy memories will be some comfort.Hope your ma takes the news ok too. Thinking of you and also all the others on here who have been having a bad time lately.
Clarington, Reggie sounds like he's settled in really well, lovely to see them growing up, Shadow has gained weight and 'filled' out a bit too, looks more like a labrador now than a long legged greyhound.
Mixed weather forecast here so probably get some more seeds planted in the greenhouse. Decorating still on-going house tidying downstairs to be done thoroughly today (including moving seeds back to greenhouse now germinated , hope they will be ok). Guests arriving Friday, hope we will be all sorted by then, at the moment all the furniture in the wrong rooms.
Best wishes to you all.

Lots of hugs for Dove. I'm glad he was peaceful at the end. I don't envy you the task of telling your mum. With my MIL, we didn't tell her things at all like that during the last three years, she just didn't understand. When her sister in law died, and the family house was sold, and her husbands share finally came to the family, she wouldnt have understood, so we didnt tell her. Her world had contracted to her house, her children, two of which she didnt recognise, and a dedicated team of carers.

Quick Reggie up date: he now weighs 26kg (was 22kg when we got him) which according to a friend is twice the weight of his four year old child!
