A very very long time! 

Managed to sit in the sun for a moment!

[chickengrandma-2008]

Too long.

Night night Maggie.xx.

Aw what cute pics CG, she's grown so much inbetween having those two pics taken

[bitsnknots]

Morning all.  Hope that everyone slept well.  I had a reasonable night's sleep.  I've had better but I've also had worse.

It feels a bit cooler here this morning.  It's also overcast but there's no breeze about like there was yesterday.

Must go now 'cos I'm in a bit of a rush.

Hugs to all that need them.

I know how you feel CK, my daughter & her family decamped to Kent about 18 months ago. 1.5 hrs when theres no traffic (& there is never no traffic) but a good couple of hours on the train as we don't have a car (no point in London, excellent transport, no parking where we both work & traffic congestion). It was the difference between then living in a poky flat
In London or a house with garden for the same price. They're now having a different quality of life & when we do see them we make a good quality weekend of it rather than them 'just popping in'. Miss them being local though like mad

Thinking of Carol

As some of you may know, Carol ( Rainydaywoman ), is going into hospital tomorrow for her stem cell harvest.

She is naturally feeling scared & worried, & gawd knows what other emotions.

She has asked me to pass on a wee message to you all...

" I don't know what I would have done these past months without all you great girls "

I know we will all be thinking about her tomorrow, & are sending our love & prayers.

If anyone has an address and could send me a message so that I can send a card it would be much appreciated. I probably have an address somewhere, but "him indoors" is already in a major grump and the less help I have to ask him for, the better.

Not feeling too great again, I rather think that consultant will not be happy about infection levels when I see him on Thurs. My temp is up again, and I ache everywhere. I'm fine if I lie perfectly still and don't try to do anything more energetic than breathing, but every movement is painful. I also have a nasty feeling that he's not going to be a happy chap when he sees my I.V. line - the skin all round it is a real mess, all blistered and weeping.

Have very little appetite and to be honest I'm struggling to eat anything - I can't even look at chocolate. To be able to eat anything, I have to really fancy it and I only seem to fancy wierd things like prawn and avocado salad at 3am!

Still got my Xmas card order to finish, but with a bit of luck that should get delivered next week and I will then have to do some shopping to replenish my stock of materials. I suppose I'd also better get busy on the "special" fiddly cards for close family - I'm planning a reindeer theme for cards for the grand children this year, it was Santa last year.

Hope everyone has a good weekend.

Stroppy your an amazing strong inspirational lady, I hope you soon start to feel on the up again really soon

nothing worse than having a grumpy OH when your feeling ill

Thinking of Carol a lot today

[cat-knitter]

Speaking of grumpy OH's ......... mine was in a right mood all evening last night after I showed him a pic I'd just found online .... (admitedly I did hit him with it the minute he walked in after a long rough day at work so my timing wasn't great ) 

Anyway .......... I think I have found my new baby .................

& I'm off to YCR tomorrow to meet her   

[chickengrandma-2008]

How did you talk him round ck?

[cat-knitter]

He doesn't know yet ....... he's at work still

[chickengrandma-2008]

LOL!  Will he go with you, or will it be YOUR cat? 

[cat-knitter]

Well I messed up there didn't I, it said it hadn't posted

Oh it'll be MY cat CG ........  just like the dogs mine because he didn't want that either ........... thats why it spends more time driving round in his van & out at work with him than it does at home with me

[merc1_clocks]

Stoppy....you has mail ^^^^

[stan3502]

Thinking of RDW and sending her huge amounts of love today

Aww CK a new feline furry .................. remember we must have a piccy

                                                                                                                                  

Lovely pics there CG and my how she's grown in those couple of years .

[cat-knitter]

There's a link to her on my FB Stan 

will post proper ones on here if I get her

.......... ok ..... WHEN I get her   just need to hope she's ok with dogs as they couldn't say but I know our dog will be fine, she'll give it a very wide berth & ignore it like she does Imogen ....... poor doggy must feel pushed out out times

[ginap.123]

Even if she's not now, she soon will be CK, when we took my daughters cat in (her flat was compulsory purchased & she was re-housed in a high-rise) the dogs soon learnt to give him a wide-berth or get a bat on the nose.

[chickengrandma-2008]

It's amazing isn't it stan?  Even I can't believe the difference,  and I've seen her every week of her life!!

I think thats can be the difference sometimes though CG, I see the littlies weekly if not daily so don't really notice them growing and changing yet when you look back at photo's the transformation from babies to young people is amazing.

Off to check out the new furry on CK's FB >>>>>>>>>>>>>>
