Morning all :-) <3

Dull and grey here but looks like it might lighten up.

Still doing the hospital visiting. Friend was moved to James Cook Hospital yesterday morning for stents but they decided instead of stents he needs a triple heart bypas. He now has to wait until at least Wednesday to give the blood thinners he was on time to get out of his system before they can do it, so he's going to be in for at least another week and a half :-( At least the parking is free with my blue badge.

Have a good day.

Afternoon All. :-D <3

Von and your OH - thinking of you. <3 <3

Kath - I hope your friend gets his surgery sooner rather than later and that he recovers well. Both of you <3 <3

Belle, some people are just idiots - either that or they seem to think they are entitled to do whatever they please and to hell with everyone else. :-|

My bestie is laid up in bed after a fall, bless her. <3

I delivered a card yesterday to a long-time friend only to discover that one of her children died suddenly three weeks ago. She was, naturally, shocked and very tearful as parents don't expect their children to go first. My heart went out to her. <3 <3

I have begun rappin ...... oops, sorry, it ought to be wrapping. :-D

Enjoy the rest of your day everyone.
:-D <3

Kath, so sorry to hear about your friend <3

After a horrendous night, weatherwise, with rain and gales, it has stopped raining for the time being and the wind is not so strong. But especially cos of this weather, I am in a bit of a pickle. I know it's my own fault, but here it is....

..... Some of you will remember my cat Rhodri who died nearly 3 years ago.
Well, when he was alive, one of the young cats belonging to an animal hoarder living opposite, used to sneak in and steal his food. I used to turn a blind eye if Rhods wasn't watching. If he was, I would take Blackie outside and give him something.

Well, he has been coming most days and psyching me out from the window or scratching the back door. I started giving him bits of food.
But last night he was scratching the door like mad and was sitting in the rain. So I let him in until it stopped. He thinks he lives here now.
His real owner will not be pleased cos it's not the first time her cats have defected. But I don't really want another pet. I can't afford the vets bills for one thing. But it looks like I will have to have a conversation with it's owner. :-0
He's actually watching me from the windowsill now! I feel so guilty!!!! :-(

I'm still working my DNA matches into my tree. My latest one has my maiden surname. I was excited about that, but she was actually related to me through my maternal gran's Kent side. BUT one of my seamen ancestors left Pembrokeshire and settled in Kent. So I may have a two-way link.

Well. I've talked your heads off now :-0 :-D So I'm off back to my tree

Hope you are all coping with whatever life is throwing at you at the moment <3

Evening everyone :-) <3

Von.. So sorry to read about your OH.
I hope the doctors give you good news soon <3

Kath... That must be hard to take the news that more treatment is needed, instead of the hopeful return home. I hope the op. will come soon, so that your friend can start to recover
Amazing what can be done these days <3

Put on a skirt and shoes yesterday, instead of trousers and my comfy trainers :-0 :-0
We'd been invited to my friend's surprise birthday party organised by her sons.
It went well, but what a foul night of strong winds and heavy rain :-| :-|

Jem
I was over on the Marsh on Thursday. I know you have links in that area. :-)
