Glad he is O.K. Ginns, though I fear the 'shock' will probably hit him later!
Hope he is fully recovered VERY soon.
Dea Xxx <3 <3 <3
P.S. - You take care today as the shock will no doubt creep up on you too !

Im still here as I rang my students and postponed to a 10am start.
He has left hospital and is on his way home with his girlfriend. Hes had stitches and glue and seems to be OK, albeit shook up.....as you would :-(
I wish I could get my buddy hands on the little b#st#rds that did it :-| :-| :-|
Thank you for caring everyone <3

Good morning all :-D
Maybe I should say Wet morning all :-(
Our reservoirs must be full to the point of bursting!
Sorry to hear about your son Gins....let us know how he is when you get time.
And now to breakfast - thank you Sylvs - just a light one this morning please. We are expecting a visit from OH's brother and wife as they pass by on their way home from a weekend away. Hopefully, we will be able to go out to lunch as we did last week........
I was woken by a bright light this morning at about 6am and wondered if someone had set out security light off. Nope...I had forgotten that, on dark mornings, someone who lives across the field from us has a security light on their stables and they feed their horses at 6am... :-S

Good morning all - quickly!
Just popped in to grab a bit to eat. Thank Sylvs.
Drove down to pick daughter up to go to her you-know-where and, partway back, she realised she hadn't got her watch on! Well, of course, the fate of Western Europe was at risk so, we had to turn round and fetch it! Hey ho.
Off to our you-know-where in about 10 mins. It will be manic this morning because it's a special service for the Boys Brigade and, when that finishes, there are about 6 baptisms taking place. I may be slightly frazzled later.
Love the idea of a book of photos of where OH used to live! Definitely going for that one.....thanks xxxx Going to look on Amazon later. :-D
Must dash and make myself look decent....~~~~~~~
