    Looks lovely, hope now you know there’s nothing immediately serious you can relax a bit. 

    Happy birthday to Mr SA (I was laughing and imagining him on his scooter looking like Mr T )

    Good to hear that your DD is enjoying the food - a good sign, I think. And hospital portions aren't huge so she can't go too far wrong. :) 

    And gorgeous photos. I checked to see if my DD and SiL are on them as they go to Lanzarote the same time as you, but I can't spot them. :) 

    Please send some sun...

    Lovely photos. Looks beautiful there. 
    Good news that DD is ok & nothing seriously wrong. At least the Drs have checked & not just ignored the symptoms as can sometimes be the case.

    Just catching up with your diary after a busy weekend. Blimey what a manic couple of days you've had!

    Glad to hear DD is doing well. Try not to worry about the cats. They can fend for themselves.

    Enjoy the rest of your holiday. You deserve it. 

    Oh and happy birthday to Mr SA.
