    Thank you.  It's been a horrible break.  I'm sure I'm jinxed, every time I plan some quiet time something goes wrong!

    Glad it's nothing major. Enjoy swimming and then the rest of the break will hopefully be very quiet for you with no more stress.

    That’s a relief about the dog. It was such a worry.

    The benefit of missing a day of your thread is the dog was hacking (OMG) but I am relieved to know the dog is ok. Sounds like you need a swim after all that. Enjoy  :)
