    Morning all.

    Just trying to catch up from yesterday .......

    pigpen - sounds as if you are running on fumes. Take good care of yourself

    jojo - just no way to treat your own - and not fair that you're left trying to work out how to handle things

    pjjjx - more (((hugs))) from here - looks as if there's plenty of helpful suggestions here for you

    There were lots more - sorry, I am not keeping up properly, so grab a [URL="javascript:void(0);"]hug.gif[/URL] as required.

    Think I was doing OK with my fall until last night - when it all seemed to catch up with me and I became extraordinarily tired and had to disappear off to bed early. My arm looks like some bizarre dot to dot game for those with severe myopia, and my leg is just, well, purple. Think the arnica's working though.

    Flying-wise, dailies only yesterday. WM now on for the second time this morning - OH 'kindly' brought in the dog blankets from the car last night, so I'm getting those through. Dailies again today 'cause it's baking night. :)

    Right, off to sort the airer out and see if the weather forecast tells me it will be safe to chuck some blankets on the line.

    See's you later, maybe.
