Oh zigzag - he is just beautiful - huge congratulations to all xxx

Yay! Lovely to see you posting

Good morning - 'tis Friday! Busy week here so hoping for a quiet weekend - hope that's not 'famous last words' Take care all x

It took me a while 🤦‍♀️🤣

Good morning - 'tis Friday Hope everyone is okay and that those still working have had a good start to the new school year Have a good weekend all x

Bother! No we don't - actually nothing good in the stationery line, not even Paperchase...

Oh Mousie - so sorry to read that you have lost your dad - sending much love x

Thanks both - they are keeping her in - her BP is through the roof despite meds

Oh Crikey - I spoke far too soon - DIL's mum is back in hospital - 'hopefully' that sounds odd but anyway 'hopefully' another TIA as opposed to a major stroke - she went in by ambulance this time as literally no one could get to her quickly, the paramedics made the decision to take her to a different hospital and said "if this was my parent, this is where I would want her to be" she now has her brother with her and DIL is on her way...she has had another CT scan and is now waiting for a repeat MRI. Louby - sounds like you have it covered - I did have a little 'swoon' when I read 'new diary' Young froglet - youngest son and DIL have a lovely firepit which they use a fair bit in the autumn

Good morning - 'tis Friday Very busy, but much better week here - phew It is absolutely lashing it down as I write this - I know that we desperately need the rain - but it is battering my flowers that I have cared for so diligently 🙃 Hope everyone is okay? Happy weekend all x

Thanks so much louby - that is all so encouraging. I don't usually 'knock' the NHS - Mr S has received some outstanding treatment...however, this all happened on Thursday, my DIL went straight down, 111 said ambulance unless you have someone to take you - that was easy my DIL drove her to hospital where 'eventually' she was given a CT scan and that was how they diagnosed TIA as opposed to Stroke - not too bad so far...but then they released her at 8:15pm with no info apart from call in at Tesco and buy some aspirin - that's dreadful. Thankfully the 'specialist team' rang on Friday morning and gave her further instructions e.g. do not drive for at least 28 days... Oh well, onwards and upwards, she now has a MRI scan and assessment tomorrow morning so hopefully this will be informative and should lead to appropriate meds being prescribed.

On a much brighter note - Mr S and I have been to watch our youngest granddaughters drama school's production of 'Annie' this afternoon and very good it was too - very proud nana and granddad!

Good morning - 'tis Friday What a horrible week we have had ... dear friend died Monday night, not expected at all and yesterday my DIL's mum suffered a TIA. I have had to educate myself pretty fast about TIAs - I had no real understanding of the implications for her... Hope that everyone else is having a better time and can enjoy the long weekend x

Oh Cait ☹️

Good morning - 'tis Friday Phew another hot day - am looking forward to the slightly lower temperatures that are forecast for the weekend... Hope everyone is okay? I have big news! Well it's big to me 🙃 I have a new granddog - he is a beautiful Labradoodle you may remember that my youngest son and DIL lost their very elderly Chocolate Lab - their remaining dog, Golden Retriever, went into a decline, he was so depressed...his new 'brother' has been life-changing for him, he is back to his usual happy self and of course, we are all head over heels in love with the new addition! 🐶❤️ Hope that the weekend is kind to all x
