Well done, Clare!

Had an email from my elder cousin today - his wife died in Guy's hospital last night from cancers in bones and liver following breast cancer last year - and he himself is being treated for lung cancer which has affected both his windpipe and oesophagus - makes my troubles seem very minor!

Excuse me not writing more this evening - shattered.

Meant to reply to your sad post, OG - very sorry about your news. Yes, others troubles remind us that there is often someone worse off.

I had some extra pics of the “Garden of Eden” window which I did not post on flickr. I did not get a good close-up of the small round window above which probably features a wedge-tailed eagle.

Good Morning.  What beautiful windows, AQ.

I've had a bad night so feel like a wet flannel this morning.

Good morning - and a belated Thank You to DIANE. (btw, I like your play on words re the bike!).

OG - I just saw your news, this morning. I'm so sorry about your relative's news. How sad.

LINDY - I'm not surprised that you feel rubbishy this morning. It is tempting to try and have a nap in the daytime but I'm not convinced that it helps...

AQ - yes, beautiful windows! Thank you for sharing.

ANNETTE - You'll be back in the swing of things today, then. Hope that Miss D's tummy trouble isn't too bad. I'm quite worried about the aforementioned person and some of his aides.

CLARE - well done! And belated birthday wishes to LIMPY.

Re the wasp bike - I've lived here for so long that I thought that it was a universally known term for what I see is usually called  wasps' nest!

I'm feeling lethargic today (same reason as LINDY) and quite anxious about - I know not what. Best thing for me is to get stuck into some jobs and distract myself!

Doing okay but spent whole morning at hospital for multiple X-rays and a long consultation, so now rushing to pack!  Not having any more surgery on the legs - too many things could go wrong with my medical history!  Consultant went through options for both legs and then said if I was his mother, he would say no, even though he likes doing surgery!  I still have the option to see him again if I change my mind.

Enjoy your holiday, OG!

At least you have had a good consultation with the option to go back if you want to.

love the pic, thank you.

OG Sad news about your relative. Sounds like a complex consultation with some good advice given.

CLARE  Well done. I saw in our local paper that a Cairngorm ranger has walked the circumference of the park over a few days. He hopes to raise over £10,000 for Parkinsons. He has been doing a few other fund raisers as well. Hi Mum has Parkinson's and of course, like you< this has prompted his efforts.

ANNETTE   How sad that the dog had to be put to sleep. What does your daughter do?

We had some rain, all of 4 mm. OH is ignoring threat of more showers and setting off to bus stop for lunch out after a long weekend home with moi.

A dull morning, but dry. This suits OH as once he has taken me to the fitness club for a swim, he plans on starting to paint the railings, some of which he rubbed down yesterday. It will take a few days. Luckily tomorrow the forecast is for no rain as well.

Tonight we are off to Eden Court to see a live screening of "Swan Lake"

Yes, DIBNLIB - dry but I think rain is forecast? Enjoy Swan Lake!

Hope LINDY is OK.

AQ- not enough rain - hope you get some soon. Perhaps your OH has cabin fever!!
