    Hugs CY try not to rely too much on Google - and if you do please only look at reputable patient sites. Remember you are unique, and your consultant and team will tailor the treatment for you. On the other hand, it's good to have some questions formed. Is it worth writing a few down so you don't miss any out at the appointment?

    I'm just back from paid stuff. Builder not here but has clearly been here. He needs to finish up - there is a manhole cover that needs attention and he has left some debris. But other than that I'm very happy with my new path and front drive area. It was raining when I got home and the new plum shale looks rather nice all wet :)

    Just going to collect kiddies and off to swimming. They can have tea up there - I CBA cooking for them not to eat it...

    Right. Will go find my anorak!

    I think I shall resurrect my Wardog from my Dungeons & Dragons days (where I first met Mr LW, btw) to deal with unwelcome BDs. She's called Brazen Husky.;)

    I'm in as much as pain and fatigue will allow this week.:o

    Right now though, main order of business is a last game of Frisbee in the garden with Patch, and pack her bag, as she's being collected at 17:00 today.

    Mr LW went and picked strawberries at the PYO yesterday; we kept back some to eat fresh (special Solstice dins yesterday, and I kept back enough for today too) and we're jamming the rest tonight.

    Right, Patch awaits; see you later.:o
    If your dog thinks you're the best, don't seek a second opinion.;)

    CY - thinking of you. I too used Doctor Google before I had my Operation almost 3 years ago. But please do not rely on him, he is often wrong and out of date.

    Natty - how is Dave doing?

    Pigpen - have a very lunch tree trunk for BD to chase

    LW - you can sit for my Border Terrierist anytime you just need some Puppy Love.

    Good evening everyone, I have managed to get a good amount of things done off my list, although by lunchtime I just felt like going back to bed, as it seemed to be one problem after another.
