Op went ahead, Mum still in recovery though, hoping it is just a bed issue.

May hospital visit later depending on how Mum is.

So glad to hear that she has had her op - wishing her a speedy recovery, and calming vibes to you, Dusty x

I have had a phonecall this afternoon from one of my nephews to say that his father, my 88-yo half-brother (the one who was in hospital and then a rehabilitation centre for the elderly for several months earlier this year) died peacefully early this morning. He was glad to be at home again, and he and his wife had enjoyed a visit to a local garden centre on Saturday, but then he started feeling ill on Sunday and was admitted to hospital yesterday afternoon. He had a good life, an interesting job and a longlasting marriage - 66 years - and they have been able to build up many good memories of places they've visited and things they've done. He was a lot older than me, and for a long time I felt that he was very distant, even critical of me, but in recent years we have got to know each other better and he was able to tell me a lot about our father. A sad loss...

I haven't really done much off my list yet. The food at the SW Christmas party was excellent and I've had a long chat with my friend this afternoon

Glad your mums op went ahead today dusty, hope she gets a bed soon and has a full recovery. Hugs to you both.

So sorry to hear your sad news Iona, my deepest condolences to you and your DH

Kaz glad that cat got on OK at the vet and all is well in feline world

Just in from work so having cuppa and catch up then going to start on food and bedroom, it's not looking too bad as I did the floordrobe etc this morning.

Just had a neighbour pop round with some wool for me to knit up for her - 4 more baby cardis.

Aww sorry to hear your news iona xx

Glad your mum is through the op ok, dusty xx

Kinda bushed here. Voice improving but cough still in place. Worked from 6.30, stopped at Mr A on way home for fridgey items, collected littlies then took DD for her flu wotnot. Finally got home to make tea and sort them out for bed.

Am now bushed so will just clear up after tea and call it a night. WFH tomorrow so that feels less stressful although I appear to have inherited a godawful job today - we'll see how it pans out. Out whole team is almost diverted to focus on this one thing to the exclusion of all others. Until someone asks what happened to the others <rollseyes>

DD thought it was a good idea earlier to practice a pirouette while holding a frube :eek: so I've had the mop out already. Little beastie. I will let her off cos she was very brave at the docs and she did some very nice reading tonight

I knew I would start to feel frazzled with all these weekends away. And I'm piling weight back on. But as of tonight's shop I'm back on the wagon, on the plan and on my way!

So there
