Good morning Sylvs. Thank you for breakfast - I'll have toasted barm cakes with Marmite I think :-D


Looks as though Gins has drifted off again.....no doubt she will drift back at some stage ;-)



Grey clouds, bright sky, pouring rain and the sound of thunder! Lovely!

Oooher........Im up, anyone else?

A leprechaun must have been dancing on me tonsils, woke up with a tickle that wouldnt go, so got up so as not to wake JB

Have had a b****r of day! We had planned to get the suitcases back in the loft and finish getting the house back to normal.

got washing done started tidying up then OH says he can smell gas in the kitchen traced smell to where the pipe goes into the hob.

Did the soapy bubbles test nothing phones sons friend who is a gas contractor. will be out at 5 arrives after 6 need to have a bit cut out of my new kitchen unit.

Son cant do it till tomorrow so gas guy will come back then. We just have to switch the gas off at the meter till then :-| :-|

Sylvia glad to hear your OH is doing well.

Cynthia glad your OH is also doing well and glad you had a nice lunch

Gins - Just popped in so sorry to hear about your son and glad to see that he is ok.
My Mum used to say "no wee faces no big worries" oh how true that is doesn't matter what age they are does it <3

Dea :-D <3

Only the one - tell him !!!!!!!!!

Yes - we DO worry about them don't we ?? ;-)

We always will !

AND - It's only when they grow up and have children of their own that they start to understand why !!!

Dea Xxx

He wont go there again Dea.....lesson learned, me thinks

He's been used to growing up in a very safe area, so one mistake is allowed

Oh how we worry about our kids :-(

Tell him to take sandwiches with him next time Ginns !!! ;-) <3

Dea Xxx

Sheffield is very strange in terms of 'scubber' and 'safe'

No2 lives a walk away from 'safe' to 'scrubber' The takeaways are in the latter (that late or early) and he was hungry after work

C

he'd get a bit wet :-D :-D :-D :-D


Good to hear that OH went out to lunch. He's gaining more confidence, obviously!!

He seems to be getting out to lunch quite a lot these days Cynths!! - Well done him !!! :-D

Glad to see that everyone else is doing O.K. too !

Hugs to all !

I've now got visions of your OH going to China by bus Sylvs.... :-D :-D :-D


Glad your son is okay Gins....not a nice thing to happen at all. :-(



Went out for lunch with brother-in-law and wife - they were on their way home from a weekend in the Lakes with friends. OH coped well so I was pleased.

OH's vision is now almost clear



and he's gone off downtown to pick up his visa for China



He's taking another day at home ......... he's not quite ready to get behind the wheel (especially in the heavy rains that we've been having).


But he does have to go in tomorrow ........ he has to give a seminar at noon at the university, and then has a workshop at the hospital at 4:30!

He can do it all by bus, if he still doesn't feel ready.

Gins


glad to hear that things were not much worse.


but it is a shock for everyone.


What on earth was he doing in that area????



Take good care of him ........ and of yourself. ((((xxx))))

hi all
xxx



cloudy or foggy (take your pick), sunny periods, high winds and heavy rain forecast for this afternoon

He's OK, just a badly cut head and a swollen bruised face.

Two guys jumped him as he separated from his work colleagues, punched him to the floor and kicked him.......on and on

Luckily, his two mates heard the commotion and ran back to help, upon which the thugs ran

It’s not where I thought it was, it’s in an area of the city where, stabbings and mugging happen all the time, the bottom London Rd, scrubbers ville

He’s not going there again


Chris, I hope its not brought back too many memories, thank you for your empathy <3

Oh Gins that is awful.

He has my sympathy/empathy

It seems no-one nowhere is safe these days.

Hugs.
