    Morning all,
    Pippi, sorry to hear about your friend. Sounds quite bad if you are feeling the need to travel to see them. Speak to the Dr and ask the worst case scenario for your friend should you visit with the bad chest. However, depending on the illness - if there is no chance of recovery (sorry if I am off the mark) also think about how important it is for you/them to see each other. I speak from experience on this one.

    On lighter notes, I love the talk of planting etc. I am still reading Alys Flowers! (I know but she sounds more romantic as flowers than fowler) and feeling quite inspired.

    Oh, Pippi, I've just been catching up - I'm so sorry to hear your news about the illness of the adopted family member - many positive vibes your way. I was reading through the seeds and plantlets posts, thinking how great it sounded, and how you've got to get a good layout to show people right from the start the kind of establishment you're running .... and then this, how horrible. I do think you're right to talk to the doc - anybody who's seriously ill (and their carers, and people in other beds nearby if it goes to that) doesn't want to be dealing with another issue as well. Tho, sadly, cherisong also has a good point - sometimes its more important to get there than to worry about infection.

    Just thinking about you too - can you cope with that journey? You might need something from the doc to enable you to do it, if needs must :(

    I'll be thinking of you ....
