I’m sure DS3 will make you a delicious dinner. Hope you enjoy Devon and it’s fine for you.
Alfie I’ve just been reading back and don’t know how I missed this
Happy happy start to the day here, won £25 on a recent
'lucky dip' ticket win which was drawn in yesterday's game. :T
I'm on a roll. :j:j:j This time next year Rodders ..... :rotfl:
Well done. Do hope more wins are on their way for you in Rodders style.
:hello: Good morning everyone
Hope you're all well, it's going to be another lovely weather day
here - got a busy day ahead.
Yes sheils, puddy still needs the worming treatment even though
she's an indoor cat. She still has contact with other pets that
come to visit/stay. Although they're all regularly wormed &
also have flea treatment, it's best to stay on the safe side.
(Worms can also be spread by fleas). In the winter I also wear
wellies when gardening/digging & sometimes find the occasional
weeny slugs stuck on the boot soles. Never know if they're
infected or not so again, it's best to stay on the safe side. She
only has the treatment every three months and it's not
expensive.
Have a lovely break in Devon, I've fond memories of that part
of the country - beautiful area to visit.
:T Very well done leanfun - brilliant win! :T :j
Two wonderful events worth a mention today ....
Join us for International Red Panda Day (IRPD) 2018 as an
expected 100,000 visitors at more than 60 zoos worldwide help us
create as many Red Panda Rangers as possible in a single day.
What is a Red Panda Ranger? A Red Panda Ranger is a special title
given to children who help spread the word about red pandas.
Look in our activity guide to see what activities you can do for
International Red Panda Day to become a red panda ranger.
Contributions received from #IRPD2018 will support RPN’s largest

Red panda numbers are dwindling in Nepal as poaching and illegal
trade is on the rise. The Wildlife Crime Control Bureau of Nepal
state that 90% of the nation’s cases related to wildlife crime goes
unreported >>>

Hi everyone,
Lovely afternoon here and all washing dry and ironed.
Just finishing the packing now so we will be all set to go tomorrow.
Our main problem will be getting Ds3 out of bed to get him to the railway station on our way away!
Not sure when I will get online when away as probably won't pay to get Wifi in caravan when we are there. Wishing everyone lots of luck anyway and I will be in touch when I can.

Best Win of 2019 - Forest Holiday
:hello: Good morning everyone
Hope you're all ok.
day here today so must crack on in the garden! Had a wonderful
time out there for a good part of yesterday - lovely weather
for getting on with all gardening jobs, sunny but with a gentle
breeze. Perfick! (Lol! Used to love watching 'The Darling Buds of
May').
Great news that Charlie didn't need any more treatment from
vets indie & that the paw is healing nicely. Bet he'll be glad to
see the back of the cone of shame when you take it off come
Tuesday!
There's quite a few events/awareness days today but I've chosen
the following to share with you all .....
16-22 September 2018
Global Mitochondrial Disease Awareness Week
Help us make Global Mitochondrial Awareness Week 2018 the
biggest yet! You can make a huge impact during the week whether
it be at work, school or within your local community >>>

The Lily story
A search for answers
The Lily Foundation was founded in 2007 by Liz Curtis in memory
of her daughter Lily, who died from mitochondrial disease at eight
months old.
Finding little in the way of specialist knowledge or support
available to help her through her ordeal, Liz set out to provide
answers for herself and others in her situation.
What began as an informal network of family and friends quickly
grew into a national charity which today supports over 300
families.
Run by a small team of dedicated staff backed by a medical board
drawn from the UK's top centres for mitochondrial research, the
Lily Foundation forms a vital link between patients, doctors and
medical science bodies.

Great you had a good day in the garden yesterday Alfie. Thanks for the links about the Lily Foundation. I’ve been reading through and suddenly thought this was the charity Peter Kay supported when he had his first showing of the last car share.

Hope everyone is having good weekend.
:hello: Good morning everyone
Hope you're all in fine fettle on this Monday morning - think
we're in for another decent weather day here. :j Yesterday was
fairly warm by the end of the day. Can't believe how mild it is
at the moment!
Yes, I can remember that too leanfun. I've found this lovely article
on the Lily Foundation site including a short animated video to
help raise awareness about mitochondrial disease.
