Welcome to the *Gransnet Café. This is a non-judgemental space for you to pop in for a cuppa with some virtual friends, seek out advice for a particular problem, or share an update on your life - important or trivial. Feel free to have your say and chat about your day, but please leave any arguments at the door. If you're struggling to find someone to talk to in real life, or are simply looking for a bit of a chat, this is the place for you.
Congratulations to you ann, 
. Pleased the procedure was straightforward. I recognise those conversations greyduster, sometimes funny, sometimes oh so frustrating. Hope Rory enjoys his supper today and a relaxed sleep Soop, please try not to wear yourself out.
Greyduster I'm laughing out loud. Thanks for that.
annsixty Feet up and a small glass of wine would not go amiss.
Rory won't be leaving his cat cave for any reason other than to enjoy a treat...because, as MacS tells him throughout the day - you're a verrrrrry good boy. Last night he slept on a cushion close to MacS who sleeps in a reclining chair (he has bad cramps if he lies down). About a week ago, Rory could manage to climb on a low stool and then onto MacS's lap. He can't do that now. His back legs buckle. He likes being as close as poss to MacS and he purrs with pleasure. Rory...not MacS 
You lot do me good. I'm thankful that Gransnet introduced us. I'm away for today. Best wishes to you all. 
Happy Anniversary Ann, an achievement to be proud of, just think about happier times today. I`m so pleased that your medical procedure went well. Now relax.
Soop, all best wishes to you both, and to Ruaridh, bless him, I hope he is comfortable.
My Son-in-law has put the first coat on the kitchen walls, my daughter doesn`t like the colour, but I do, so there! I`m sending you lot a couple of views of the coloured walls, what do YOU think? Ooops, sorry, I should have washed up first!
I'm another one with yellow kitchen/diner walls. Actually called itself Farrow&Ball Cream, but it's a golden yellow and I find it sunny but restful and it goes with everything.
I'm a bit late catching up with you lot today but couldn't leave without sending many congratulations to you ann. Your H may not remember the date but I'm sure he'll feel comforted by your presence just as he always has.
soop - my love to you and MacS and Rory. We're all going to miss him when his time comes 
N&G I hope Herbert and Sherbert pick up soon, it can't be much fun feeling unwell during school holidays. BTW, I used to refer to DS as Herbert while he was still an unborn bump 
Sorry I've not responded to more conversations but just too tired tonight. Sleep well folks
annsixty 59 years is quite some achievement, well done, and I hope you have a lovely break in London with your DGD.
Just popped in for a quick peek, can't read all through today's posts now but I can't go without adding my congratulations to you Ann it's an achievement indeed for you both. So much you've experienced through the ups and downs of all those years. You'll feel sad your dh can't recall it now but I hope you can enjoy remembering the happiness you shared together albeit with tears in your eyes.
What a lovely trip you have to look forward tomorrow, I hope you're able relax as much as you can and enjoy being spoiled by your thoughtful granddaughter x
Have an absolutely fabulous day Ann. DH and your son will be fine. 
A day away is a tonic in itself - a night when you don't need to be listening out, when there is only you. But how I wish your C would see that a regular commitment on their part even only a night per month each would give you a chance to get your breath back
You should not just be expected to "get on with it" unsupported.
I think this makes the point?
She does not really enjoy being left during the day (rarely more than 2-3hours, I feel bad about it so I do try) but doesn't make a huge fuss, and is quiet when I get back. Nights are fine, with the occasional let out (last night it was at 4) I respond as it is brilliant that she is House trained but suspect she may not actually NEED it however daren't call her bluff!
She is a sweet natured dog in every respect!
