Morning to you all and yes a very early one from lazy ole me!!!
However I come bearing news from our lovely Soop.
She has asked that I say hi to you from her as she is having lots of issues with her kindle and wished she was back on her own P.C.
Hopefully this superb weather is helping them enjoy their break.
Quite frankly Charley for what its worth we too think that your Vet`s bill is really "over the top"......just to make you perhaps rethink the situation .....we had our corgi Scampi going through a tooth extraction and descaling many years ago now (far too long to remember the bill) however sadly we feel it was such a complete waste as the poor fellow lived only months afterwards,he was 16.
We again loved him to death and would have given our last penny but it seriousely made me think that perhaps the vet could have chosen a kinder route by saying he was best left at that age.
You just never know.Of course Tara is worth every penny for you but seriously consider all the pro`s and cons I think would be my advice.
Indeed Willow and Cornergran we are pleased to recieve some reprieve regarding my man`s health and to "celebrate" ......making full use of this superb weather he actually managed to make some headway in the badly neglected paddock..............so he can rest and have some peace of mind for a little while.
Amazing how the greenery is still growing including those weeds!
There seems a little space where our Ann usually sits and I am getting just a little perturbed ...........hoping all is reasonably well and there are no further massive problems.Thinking very much of you.
So a big cheery smile from Soop and another from me ...........hope the day is kind to all.

Good to hear from you ann, guess we’ve all been guilty of jumping to conclusions about people, delighted you seem to have been wrong this time. The very hard decision will be easier with caring professional support.
Thank you for passing on soops message panache, i also hope their break is just as they had hoped - or better 
Funny old day here today, much cooler, this mornings heavy cloud gave way to a bright blue sky this afternoon. The major pleasure today, other than the glass of chilled white by my elbow, was getting the washing dry. Any suggestions how I can get a life?

Evening all!
Nice to see those lovely long posts frtom youb once again Panache, and thank you for relaying Soop`s message, I hope that damned Kindle soon starts to behave for her!
Ann, glad to hear that you got a kindly social worker, despite her youthful look.
Can`t remember if I welcomed you back CharleyG, if I forgot it must have been the thought of the colossal vet`s bill that`s looming, so sorry, and welcome back.
On a lighter note, my 3 newest pics of Max.
soop it has been years since we last saw Eilean Donan but I expect it has not changed a bit and is as beautiful a spot as ever. Enjoy your holiday!
Lovely day here too Charleygirl. Himself has been sat at his planting bench all day potting up penstemon and lavender cuttings which I hope will all take. Gardener friend went round the garden collecting all the plant pieces for him and I have been making the tea so that seems a fair division of labour!
Cornergran another one here who got all the washing cleared - now for the ironing! 
Callgirl little Max is very cute! He and his playmates all have identical big smiles so that you can't help joining in.
Gagagran glad your sofas have been collected, that is another off your list. We also generally send things to BHF and have been quite surprised at how much has been made - and the extra as we gift aid it.
ann so glad that your meeting with the SW went as well in spite of misgivings. Whenever we are faced with such young looking people Himself usually says to me "Goodness, they have opened another new box". Hope you will get all the help you both need.
Well it would seem that it is official, winter is almost upon us. We have both received our official flu vaccine letters so have something else to look forward to! It really doesn't seem like a year since the last one anyway. I hope we all stay free of bugs, germs, infections etc because we have had enough of late!
Quick pop in as am off to SIL birthday brunch. Basket of his favourite raspberry & marzipan muffins in hand.
They are rather good, so I shall leave the spares on the counter
It is freezing here, this morning! Several people around have succumbed to the "bug" so next Fridays 'flu jab cannot come quickly enough for me!
Taking advantage of soops absence to mention the unmentionable.....I have made the Christmas cakes (delayed by 3 weeks!) and the Christmas puddings. Next stop, sloe gin.
I do rather like the culinary aspects of autumn.
Wishing everyone a calm and happy (bug-free!) day.
cornergran Our Golden was earlier this month and we spent it in a villa on a lovely peaceful Greek Island. 
Hope today's trip out has been enjoyable panache, no matter if you need to sleep afterwards, enjoy every minute.
I think it is cold here today, Mr C disagrees - but then we often differ over temperatures. Sun is just peeping out so that will help. I thought I'd do some sorting. You know that point when you wish you'd never started but leaving it as it is isn't an option? You guessed it, that's where I'm at. Oh well, it can't take much longer .
Oh dear charley, it never rains and all that. I have a theory that electrical items talk to each other and decide when they are going to fail, it always happens in batches here too.
Right, onwards, I won't be comfortable leaving the current mess. Sometimes I wish I had bypassed the tidy gene
