My mistake re the markers, able to have a good look/count, I realised that the final/closest marker is very close to the side fence, so I couldn't see it - so that 2' closer I thought is actually the 2nd closest house.
Need to get the step ladder out to climb up and see over the fence to see how close the wall will be.
I'll go do that....
Ah, looks like they've not marked the 4th/closest out yet. It'll be no closer than 2' from the fence.0 -
Maggie How are you doing? Thinking of you. Thanks for the lovely sunset pics! xx.
Hi ivyleaf, glad you liked the sunset pics. :j Here's one from 1st December, when we had a real humdinger of a sunset!

Still waiting for results of my Mandatory Reconsideration. But we phoned GPs on Wednesday, and Doctor phoned back with colonography results. There's no sign of cancer, but I do have diverticular disease. Advice is to eat a high fibre diet and keep well hydrated. Then got appointment letter from hospital yesterday. For 22 December... We hope to be at caravan by then, so OH called them and it's been rearranged for 26 Jan.
Ivyleaf, you might be interested in this article on ME/CFS. Covers the PACE trial fiasco as well as one patient's experience.
Will finish with the wide shot of the sunset from Thursday.

Sounds good news.:T

Oh dear - would Arnica help? Or is it just for topical use on unbroken skin? I'm not well up on herbal remedies, but if you're still bruised it might be worth searching for info on it... I think its full name is arnica montana. Hope you feel less shattered and the bruising goes down soon. Was it a very deep rooted tooth? Sending you some cyber-hugs.

Oh oh, could be trouble ahead.
Ex is in town for one of his rare visits and contacted youngest yesterday to organise going out today. Youngest did his stock reply "Sure"
Come today, he is now refusing to go and says it is his decision as an adult....not sure ex will see it the same way and I will probably get the blame! I've tried all the normal stuff "He is still your father" "It will be shame not to go" etc but all I am getting in reply is that he may be his father genetically and biologically but he is not his father in nature.
And this is the ambivalent one towards ex....We made it! All three boys have graduated, it's been hard work but it shows there is a possibility of a chance of normal (ish) life after a diagnosis (or two) of ASD. It's not been the easiest route but I am so glad I ignored everything and everyone and did my own therapies with them.

I have been taking arnica tablets since the procedure. Just put arnica cream on the outside of my cheek.
Lower 6, so a fat double molar. Nothing wrong with it other than the crown had broke off leaving nothing behind, all I had left was a stump of filled root.

He went in the end, not enthusiastically but it was his own decision.
He never did like doing things without his brothers and to be honest, his father is pretty much a stranger to him..he's only seen him 10 times in the last 10 years for a total of less than 24 hours!We made it!

Sounds like a good result. See what mood he is in on his return.I'm a Forum Ambassador on the housing, mortgages & student money saving boards.

Good to hear it was his decision in the end. In your position, I don't think I'd be telling him to go "because he's your father" or "because it would be a shame not to" but merely "because yesterday when he asked you, you said you would". If Youngest doesn't want to waste his time seeing a man who can't be bothered to have a meaningful relationship with him, then I don't think the genetics are a good enough reason why he should feel obliged to, but if that's how he feels he should decline the invitation upfront, not say "sure" and renege on it later. If ex wants to blame you, that's his problem - he sounds pretty impossible to please, so try not to let it bother you.Do you know anyone who's bereaved?

Oh, and wear your seatbelt. My kids are only alive because they were wearing theirs when somebody else was driving in wet weather with worn tyres.0 -
That point was brought up and he said that at the time he was OK with going but had started to rethink it afterwards (not that he told anyone).
I think part of the issue is that ex is a virtual stranger to him and that always makes him very anxious and indecisive but at the same time, not wanting to let people down after saying he would do something. He was certainly like a little ball of anxiousness this morning, completely torn as to what he wanted to do whilst feeling not very confident about seeing his father without the other two as a buffer.
His father is a stranger to him, he doesn't know how to talk to him or relate to him and that always makes him very very anxious.We made it!
