The Good
Postie brought me a big envelope this afternoon, very intriguing, I wasn't expecting anything apart from the usual junk & bills... On opening I discovered a brill 'Country Kitchen' mag, a little bar of Green & Blacks, and a note from our own lovely Hazel at the Hill
Thanks Haze
Big hugs sweetie, that was so thoughtful, it's got some great recipes in and didn't make me frustrated about not being in the garden which GYO does at the mo 
The Bad
Yet another of my friends has decided that they don't want to be on the Vine 'for a while'
At a time when she is waiting for results from MRI scans & other tests, and has a nasty interview/appeal to attend, both of which may have frightening results, she really needs the support of her friends. She has unselfishly given much to others (including me) over the past year, and has very rarely moaned about her circumstances, always trying to present a cheerful face (even when some very unnecessary jibes have been directed her way on here.)
The Ugly
Witch-hunts haven't happened in this country since the 1700s, but it seems to me that's what happened here while I was in hospital, and again this morning.
There are a couple of proverbs that people should keep in mind before attacking someone else;
Let he who is without sin cast the first stone.
People who live in glass houses shouldn't throw stones.
If you've got nothing nice to say, don't say anything at all.
Everyone is entitled to an opinion, but if you can't say something nicely, then go away until you can! Plenty of posts wind me up, the ones about people digging upset me, but that's because of my circumstances and I don't expect people to not talk about or do it!! Ditto the ones where people talk about spending lots of money on stuff when we're stoney broke, but I'm not about to start ranting about them being insensitive because they aren't the cause of me being broke are they??!!
Please play nice folks, or nobody is going to dare post anything but new game threads for fear of offending someone....and several more people will end up 'taking a sabbatical' from the Vine.
