    So good to hear from you Monna, sorry you're not having such a good time. Let us give you all the sympathy and hugs you have given to everyone else. Don't be a stranger, even though a tablet can be extremely frustrating, we wont laugh at your spelling (much!).

    Anyway, another good day here, DD and the South Africans back at her place again, DS2 and GF getting ready for a very early (4am) start in the morning. I'll give them a lift to the airport and go back to bed!

    Tomorrow will be big clean day, hope the weather is kind and I can put some washing outside for a while.

    Oh, Mrs. L, I miss Docky so much - as I'm sure you do too! Rest assured, he had a very special place in all of our hearts with his big soppy eyes, gangly legs and waggy tail. :)

  • Hi LILLIBET he may not be here in the physical sense but I'm absolutely certain he's still with us and oddly sometimes catch a fleeting glimpse of a little black shape when I'm not looking. I know that sounds barmy but I've had it happen so often that I'm sure it is what I think it is. So he knows all his friends miss him and that he's loved, he wouldn't still be here otherwise would he love?

    Arrgh the PC brigade won't let me shorten Richard !!! ( or is it Rocky having fun?)
    Help! Can't put Docky in now either!
    Small victories - sometimes they are all you can hope for but sometimes they are all you need - be kinder than necessary, for everyone you meet is fighting some kind of battle

    It's such a lovely saying - and so true for us 'luvvies'. It didn't matter how bad you were feeling, the show MUST go on. I think I might request it on my headstone!!!:rotfl:
