What's good in your world....?

nightowl and nellie To be truthful, I wasn't virtually squiffy either. As I was performng high jinx at Glastonbury, Mr soop would keep topping up my G&T...and I kept supping it...hic!

nellie I lost one of my stilts and I wont begin to tell you the trouble when go into

glass Are you sure you didn't use it as a broomstick? there was an awful lot of stuff flying around that night.

soop everything is a little hazy, so its a possibility

Glass you can tell me I wont pass it on the others ,so how did you manage with only one stilt,did you use it like a pogo stick

I think the dog/cat had something to do it?

jeni who singed the bottom of a dog read a bit about it this morning,but my mind is really working over time and not in a good direction with this turn of events

Look this evening at the thread about this!

poor Rover has my deepest sympathy as one who has suffered from burning around the nether regions I can truly from the heart of my bottom recommend preparation H....just a thought when my dog has an itchy bottom she shuffles along the grass/carpet/concrete & she kind of resembles the & sign in her position he may have inflicted this on himself by scratching vigourosly, and self combusted.....a Bonio for rover sorry no emoticon..xxxx

All I can say is I hope that Gransnet is never subject to anything like an Ofsted Inspection! They would go away shaking their heads in confusion

Doesn't everyone?

This dog is everywhere...bring back the cat

This one is rover!
The jury is out as to whether the other one is Donald or Duncan

Rover is just a generic name to save Donald and Duncan further shame and burning embarrasment for what is worth it is that wolf in sheeps clothing Larry...didnt someone say they heard the baying of wolves

Don't say this in court - it's bad enough already

Here's a lovely story.
A 7 month old baby screamed and mummy rushed in to find 2 year old son holding baby thermometer and fluid leaking from baby's ear. Assumption made that toddler had possibly inserted thermometer into baby's ear. Rushed to hospital for tests. Turned out that baby had a genetic condition that results in perforated ear drum and NOT anything to do with toddler and thermometer. BUT because of that assumption medical attention was immediate and life saving as medic discovered that baby had meningitis that wouldn't otherwise have been diagnosed.

Lovely story grannyact, sometimes things happen that seem more than just a coincidence. My mother also had meningitis as a girl and lost her eardrum!

ga how fortunate for that baby. Thank goodness she was taken to the hospital

Goodness, ga. That's serendipity for you.

I had a truly special treat yesterday while having lunch with friends who live in the wilds of the Lot - SW France. A nightingale was singing. Yes they do sing in the day. I didnt see him but was thrilled to hear him for quite some time during my walk around their beautiful and not over-cultivated garden/fields.

What a blissful scene you describe flowerfriend. I've only ever heard nightingales on films and nature programmes. Perhaps one day....

All that matters...family, friends, [real and virtual] a safe place called home, a soppy black cat, sun on the sea, mist over the mountains... and the fact that I shall be sharing chocs with Bags on Wednesday [but only if she's nice to me.]

Finished a very difficult report yesterday (thanks to Greatnan for the much needed push). Spending today with DS1 who is thankfully recovering from his latest depressive episode and starting to feel that life is worth living again, seeing DD later to go through some old photos (lovely), out for a meal with family on Sunday, and all next week off work, looking after DGS every day

Today my lovely OH and I have been together for 11 years! We can both remember that first "date" so well when we were both younger and fitter (nothing actually wrong with us nowadays, just creaking a bit!). We both had fractured pasts, he a widower and I a divorcee - 5 grown up children between us. But we found each other and as they say, the rest is history

Tonight going out for an anniversary meal and a glass or two

Congrats moomin - Have a lovely evening together.
