    I agree, fabulous post Greying and I think you speak for us all. Thank you.

    Wow, Greying :o what a beautiful post. Thank you so much :kisses3:

    I'm very glad I was your way back in to this community - its been a huge level of support to me for quite a few years now, and still has a big effect, even tho I'm stepping down a bit. I know you're on Pippi's diary a fair bit, so there's at least one place we shall continue to meet :kisses3:

    Lazy day today for me - bit of work on the slate chips on the patio, bit of tidying of paperwork and shredding (the paper variety :rotfl:) tho actually, now that I'm definitely heading towards that op, I should have a long energetic walk, they seem very keen on fitness levels before any procedures these days.

    Back later :j
