	Evening SM Daff and all, Only just got to the computer - been busy - and was sorry to see that you are 'under the weather'. Hope the Anti-watsits sort it out and as I said yesterday - rest!! We need you better to lead our foray into the nether regions - I think that is where Barry Island is. Not been before, so looking forward to that. Love, Elisabeth xx

	Good morning all. How I wish I could plan my day. It's just work, work, work. Not to worry - where would I be without it (not in the Bahamas that's for sure). Hope Daff is feeling better today and is well-rested.

	Morning everyone... I am not too sure how I feel yet, lol... had a bit of a disturbed night, with coughing, so slept in about 2 hour snatches. But I have only just finally got up. R has decided to stay home again, and my temperature is totally normal this morning... it did go up a couple of times, but came back down again quickly, so we have managed to put off going in to hospital. I think because the receptionist at the surgery was on the ball (my my, they are really coming on, it was the new one too, the head one is brilliant anyway) and the doc came out, it was caught before it had a chance to take hold. I am going to take it easy peasy today, and spend some time sitting in the garden, in the shade, may as well make the most of the sunshine now, while we have it, as the nights are beginning to draw in, aren't they. Would you spare a thought or two, please, you are so good at them!!... my 21 year old nephew had his heart surgery yesterday. He was told 10 months ago that he needed it urgently, lol, but it has been cancelled a couple of times for even more urgent cases. He is in Harefield. We have known this day would come, all his life. He has an inherited condition. His birth dad died of it, just before my nephew was born. I didn't say anything, just in case it was cancelled again, but it had become very urgent. He is doing fine, is in ICU, and still drugged up. But his surgeon is very pleased with it, and it went well. Love to everyone, and have a wonderful day. Love Daff xxxxx

	Sending lots of thoughts for your nephew, enjoy the sunshine, the garden is looking very autumnal here Dad's plant that I can nver instantly remember the name of is starting to go pink. Just had my check up at the nurse/results of blood tests for MOT two weeks ago. All results good, blood sugar good, cholestrol 4.5, BP 115/63, no protein in 'wee' test. So hopefully that is that for another year and Doc gets another tick in the box!!!

	I have just heard from his mum. He is doing well, but still very poorly and in ICU. His surgery was very radical... not only the heart, but reconstructive surgery on his chest and ribs. I don't understand it fully, but he is (was) very pigeon chested, so this will help him. They are pleased with the way it turned out, so that is good. He was wittering about missing some festival or other... he is a festival Junkie, lolol, so I don't know what one that might be.... Lol Ann, mine is stunning, even the cuttings (Jethro was being a tiger, and knocked a couple off a couple of months ago. I stuck them in a pot and they are flourishing!) Glad your MOT all went well. Thank you, everyone... Love Daff xxxxx

	Morning SM Daff, I am pleased to see that you have managed to get your temperature down - perhaps the anti-watsits are doing their work and after a rest in the sunshine you will be feeling much better. Just rest, don't go pottering! My thoughts are with your nephew and all of the family, for a speedy recovery from his surgery. It is a lonely place watching someone in ICU, but I am pleased to read that he has come through his surgery well. He will be back to his festivals before you know it! Have a happy day - I'm off to do battle with some large pyracantha. Thick gloves to find. Love, Elisabeth xx
