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

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.]

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

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.

Goodness, ga. That's serendipity for you.

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

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!

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.

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

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

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

This dog is everywhere...bring back the cat

Doesn't everyone?

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

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

Look this evening at the thread about this!

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

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

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

soop everything is a little hazy, so its a possibility

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

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

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 and soop I missed the party too (working - yes on a Saturday night ) so I hope you had a one man band!

soop so was I ,but it wasnt virtually squiffy ...GD disowned me as I embarrased her by doing NAN dancing sorry you had to sing solo did you sit on any ones shoulders ...who had the comb and Izal..and the spoonsxx

Oh I have just realised what that word 'cwtch' is! My Welsh MIL always used it and as a result I have always said to my children and now my grandchild 'let's have a cwtch'. I had no idea that was how it was spelt so thank you for that flowerfriend and JessM. What a lovely word it is, so cosy and you know what it means just from the sound
