    Good Morning

    Still very hot here. Hope everything goes ok for stanley boy.He always reminds me of my pip.I caught him drinking out of my glass of water in the night.

    Many thanks to everyone for their kind wishes for our Stanley Boy. He's now recovering and I can collect him tomorrow :T.

    Op went better than expected as they didn't need to pin it. The tendons around the patella were torn so these were stitched, and are now holding the patella in place. There's a lot of bruising too bless him.

    I've had to order a dog crate from eBay this afternoon as he needs to be caged for 8-10 weeks to prevent him from jumping :eek:, I went for the largest one I could find. I'm sure I've got this right and he didn't say days :o. I need to check on this tomorrow when we collect him. Don't know how I'm going to keep him caged for that length of time.

    Yes TM, he's a big boy and can usually look after himself. Initial vet consultation said he was more than likely bitten as he was running away but she didn't think it was broken. DH thinks it may have been a fox, lots around here. When I spoke to hospital today they said they can't 100% say what has happened :o. At least he will be in the comfort of his own home soon and we can spoil him :D.

    Still catching up so thanks to everyone again.

    Savvy, so nice to read your posts again, really missed you :)

    My day got hijacked...

    Went to large A on special mission to stock up on next term's school socks for g/kids then wasn't due to pick them up till after-school club finished, so I had just made a very late lunch and was looking forward to a few free hours when I had a plaintive phone call to collect them earlier as one of them was not well, so had to leave at 3, and of course kids being kids, he had bounced back and was full of beans! So I amused them till DD got home late, then had to stay for dinner, then had to help catch free-range rabbits and put them in the hutch for the night, then had to play football (I scored the winning goal, think it was just my determination to end the game!) and finally finally was allowed to come home...

    That sounds like a perfect day x

    Evening folks :hello:

    I've had a couple of messages checking I'm ok so thought I'd better swing by and say howdy :D

    Life is very busy at the mo - two allotments in full produce everything at once mode, lots of kitchen stuff going on, work, making sure the chickens and asbo cat are cool enough in this weather, visiting my nephew and just generally running round like a bluearsed fly :rotfl:

    I've got a long weekend off coming up and MG is away so you'll be seeing a lot more of me :D


    I had a feeling you were busy at the allotments:)

    I get most of my stuff from wilkos or free stuff from other people :) I'm quite looking forward to trying it and j haven't even picked it yet :rotfl:

    No Wilkos here and although my db made wine many years ago all his equipment is gone, so mr t online in the easiest for me and Amazon, as buying it all from Amazon worked out more expensive , I will be shocked if anything I make turns out drinkable :rotfl:

    Yes, I guess it does! I am truly grateful for the blessings of family, it's just it gets really disorientating sometimes when something starts off looking short and simple, then you find yourself propelled through 7 hours, almost without realising! :D
