Good Morning Early Birds!

[waterboatman]

Thursday. Still quite warm outside 11°C atthis time of year and this time of day. I'll be getting the barbie back out of the shed at this rate! Got a trip to Thornbury and then a pile of ironing, some housework and that's today sorted.

Short and sweet today...well, I don't know about sweet, but there you go.

Have a happy day everyone.

Morning all, quiet here for the moment, looks calm outside....I'll do an early morning raid on M&S, partly as I can't stand the hordes...

Morning DT xx Pix xx Paddy xx Wendi xx Mikey xx

Dark rum toddy is on shopping list lol
(well, the ingredients are)

DT, how is daughter?

[DTCwordfan]

well, it is pneumonia and she wasn't far off admission - however, she's on the a-bs now...bloods to confirm on 27 and they want a sample of her phlegm. The amazing thing was the xray and, courtesy of the Hayle hossie (one of those smaller country ones) we were able to nail an appt there yesterday afternoon - and in and out in 30 mins - probably far quicker than being at Treliske, even though its about a 40 miles round trip. Results today or tomorrow.

poor lass, this length of time with no diagnosis, at least she's now on antibugs and I wish her a speedy recovery. xx

[DTCwordfan]

and a mother and aunt who had been telling her to 'suck it up' - her words not mine. An e-mail has gone across.....

[pixie374]

Will be off... take care all of you xx

[albaqwerty]

'suck it up' ?!!!!
oh boy, my blood is boiling and that makes me grrrrr.

email along the lines of
'Dear Stupid and Heartless,
Just to let you know she has been diagnosed with pneumonia.
Yours
Caring and Sensible'

[albaqwerty]
