Chitchat thread #24

[Florence Fennel]

Thanks Nicos x I'm relieved to say it's over and he's in recovery. It all went well. My son has sent me pictures and there's even a short video of the procedure! Weird seeing his heart beating - Himself can't bear to look. He will be in a great deal of pain for a few weeks, but a nerve blocker and a cocktail of drugs will help to control it. He had to have 3 bars to build his chest - sorry, probably too much information

My eldest GG has also sent me a picture this morning. She was travelling home from Christmas shopping at Meadowhell and her exhaust fell off the car! It's all happening here. Where's the Good Fairy when you need her?

[Nicos]

She’s not here Flo!
Can we borrow her next please when she eventually finds you?

However..So pleased though that your grandson is doing well. Such a worry with major surgery like that. Give him a gentle hug from us all please x

[Bren In Pots]

Flo it’s good to hear you grandson’s surgery went well and hopefully he’ll have a good recovery xx

[Florence Fennel]

I'm sending her to you Nicos - my GG has just been here! She managed to get her car to a local garage and they have fixed it for a very decent price too. Result!

[Nicos]

^^^ fantastic outcome there!

Flo, so good to heat your grandson is over his operation and is now in recovery.
Every hour that passes now will see him on the mend.
At least you wont have that worry hanging over you throughout the Christmas.

As for our hair, it ceases to be important in the face of something like this.
Try to have a relaxed evening...The good fairy is not here either. 🙂

Good evening.

I'm sure you're so relieved about your grandson, Flo. I hope he now goes from strength to strength and recovers quickly. Should I spot a good fairy, I'll point them in your direction. I have a feeling they're all busy entertaining kids and hogging the limelight in pantomimes......Oh yes, they are!

Being tone deaf I really don't appreciate a lot of theatre, particularly musicals or opera........and, sad to say, Shakespeare leaves me cold too. (I'm just a pleb!) Pantomime, however, has a special place in my heart. I love to see young children's reactions.

I've just taken the latest Christmas cake out of the oven and I'm probably doing a reasonable impression of a bisto kid as I inhale the aroma. The probe thermometer said it was the perfect temperature when I took it out of the oven..... so touch wood.

I'm writing a shopping list next for my grory hop. I think I might even need another bottle of brandy.....
