    Hi all,

    Charly I love how you've framed Harbour Lights and the sampler looks great too. I do love HSC designs.
    nmm - great card for your niece and good news about OHs surgery - robots lol!

    My DDad is in hospital again for a couple of days/nights. Just a routine op and he's had it already and things have gone okay. It will be 2 years in September since I've seen him and we almost lost him November last year. All very stressful but I hope once we are back from JoGLE we will be able to travel over to visit.

    Doubt Rudolf will be finished before I leave on Sunday (staying on the airport Sunday night for Monday morning flight) but I will look forward to finishing it off once I return. Should be done for Christmas this year with any luck :)

    Last day at work tomorrow. I have been handing over to a temp who is lovely but very nervous. Having archaic ICT systems does not help either! I'm going to give her my mobile number in case she gets stuck with anything!

    Hope you all have a good evening - we will be watching the football so hope they put on a better performance tonight!
    Coxy xx

    Well my OH is into robots so he'd rather them than humans, haha. Can't believe you leave on Sunday, i was thinking you had more time, soo exciting do you have a route planned? If you're near me remember i owe you some cake :)

    Haha nmm - that's funny about your OH. We have a route planned of sorts.....have route and definite accommodation booked for the first 3 weeks (so most of Scotland). DSis now suddenly quite interested in where we might be walking to each day and is pinging me messages saying 'what about going this way/that way' so...... I think we have a rough idea of either Pennine Way or not. Not doing it will save miles and it's also quite challenging. I've no great intentions to tick national trails off my bucket list particularly, so would rather save the time and energy, but we shall see. OOOH CAKE! :)

    So exciting Coxy . If you have time before you go PM me and friend me on FB so I can follow. I’m in awe! Hopefully the temp covering your work won’t bother you too much and you and your sister can get in the zone. All the very best. Nmm worry worms? Sound interesting 🤔 All the best to you both enjoy your day.

    I had blue skies driving to Lowestoft but cloudy on the way back. Just having lunch before I prep for qualifications board. Final day of course for my trainees tomorrow. Wish me luck.
