Jean, I will definitely be taking a camera with me to the Chatham Islands. Only 11 more sleeps to go now!

00000000 <3 <3 <3 <300000000 for Sylvia.

Huia.

Sylvia I will be thinking of you on Tuesday and hoping everything goes allright. I'm adding to the chain of love,0000000000000 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 0000000000000.
I have had quite a few of those radio active injections, it's a wonder I don't glow in the dark. We have to use a special toilet when we have them, can't imagine what it does to us.
It's a lovely day here, bright sunshine and a nip in the air, autumn is here I think, my favourite time of year, all the leaves on the trees are changing colour to yellow, red and brown.
Huia I used to take my camera with me all over but usually took birds, I have some lovely action shots with them in the air. I love the wood pidgeon, such a beautiful colour.
Can't sit here much longer so will say hello to all I have missed and see you all later, hope everyone is ok.

Love Caz x

edited to say it's the first time I have used emoticons, certainly cheers the page up.

Hello to you all, Hi Dutch I do hope all is ok for you and Husband.

Hi Girls,

Jean thank you for welcoming me back. I've had a bad couple of weeks, but a lot better than I was, thank goodness. A couple of family problems, nothing serious, just a few misunderstandings but sorted now, hopefully for good. With me feeling so down I wasn't able to pick myself up easily.

Glad to know that you are getting on with your cards, I've had a look at your last cards on Ann's blog, they are really lovely, as usual.

Hope Jeff is much better now and able to get out a bit. Also hope that Debra getting along okay.

I've just started doing cards again today so will get Alun to take photos of them for Ann's blog. I have some ready to go on that I made a few weeks ago, so hope that Jude will kindly put them on for me.



Caz, lovely to hear from you, hope that you are feeling a bit better than you've been lately. You certainly sound better than you've been for a while.
Always thinking of you, I get updates about you off Joyce.
Are you able to make cards now or is still too painful and uncomfortable to sit long enough to make them?

Hope Phil is a lot better now. Is he back at work yet?

We can certainly feel the autumn nip now, as you say all the leaves on the trees are changing colour.
I'm not looking forward to the winter at all, I never minded it when I was younger but as I'm getting older I don't like it at all.
Sorry - moan over!




Mo, sorry to hear that you haven't been very well.....I hope that the antibiotics are working now. I don't think you could have got rid of the chest infection that you had a few months back, it probably didn't clear completely.

How are all the family? I hope that they are all well. I expect that both the babies are coming along in leaps and bounds.

Do both you and Roly still play darts? If you do, I hope that you are both on a winning streak at the moment.

Like Jean, I've been wondering when you go to Blackpool, I'm sure you said you go in October, but not sure of the date.




Sylvia, the boa that your daughter made for you sounds pretty, even though it may be a bit bright. It's lovely to have something special that she's made for you with love....much nicer than anything that she could have paid pounds for.

Continuing the chain of love for you.
0000000000 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 0000000000



Ann, if you are looking in, hope you and Tony are enjoying your holiday.




Huia, I haven't looked at your blog for a few weeks, so I'll have to look at it when I've finished this.

Hope everything is alright with Phil, and that he has responded to you when you've visited him lately.



Zack, hope all goes well with the family reunion. I bet you are getting quite excited about meeting everyone now.

I didn't realise that you would be away so long. Have a great time and take care.



Betty, thank you for thinking about me. I hope that you are feeling a lot better now. Thinking about you. Take care.




Joyce, if you are looking in, just saying hello to you. I hope you have managed to get some sleep, I know it can't be easy when you suffer so much pain.




Well girls, I'll say bye for now. Speak to you all again soon.

Take care everyone.


Love and best wishes.

Sallie.xxxx

Oooh this is so lovely, to hear from you all.
Welcome back Sallie, you have been sorely missed by us all.
It's good to know that family problems have been sorted out now, they always make us feel so down don't they.
Yes we are both still playing darts, for what it's worth these days. At least we can still hit the board on the odd accasions. lol
Both our babies are coming along nicely. Little Lilly is now eating things like chicken and chips, all by herself, thats pretty good for a child of only nearly 8 months old. Not that I agree with the chips mind you, but what can I say without seeming like an interfering mother in law.
Oh yes I forgot to tell you, Lilly's mum and dad are getting married next August.
In answer to both yours and Jeans question, we are going up to Blackpool next month around my birthday.
I am not looking forward to the journey though, it's such a long way from here.
The virus that I had, seems to have gone for now, I am just hoping it doesn't raise its ugly head again in a hurry.

Marie, I hope we do hear from you before you go away, but if we don't, enjoy yourself, you certainly deserve it, after all the hard work you have put into it.

Caz, I love the autumn, but its the time of year when all the pruning has to be done in the garden.
At the moment my roses are still blooming well, and are looking wonderful.
I shall have to get out back, and do some clearing soon though.

Jean my little love, it's lovely to hear from you.
Are you and Jeff going to be going down to Wales this side of Christmas?,
Only I know you were hoping to go, when Jeff got a bit better health wise.
How are both Jeff and Debra. I hope they are both o.k.

Huia I love that Fungi photo, it's such a beautiful colour. Do you get other varieties in other colours as well.?
How is Phil doing lately?

Keeping up the chain of love and thoughts for our Sylvia.
000000000000000000000 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 00000000000000000000000
We will be waiting to hear from you Sylvia, as soon as you feel up to it love.
Take good care of yourself. Love Mo xxx

Mo, the fungi come in all colours. I will have to find the photos Phil has taken in the past of some.

This is going to be a lonely thread for a while, with Marie being away from the 27th and me from the 29th. At least there wont be quite so much to read when I get back a week later! Unless you all start chatting busily behind our backs.

Must go as I am off to town soon, to look at booking air fare to Dunedin for late Oct., and of course the hospice shop in the afternoon.

Huia.

Hi everybody
xxx


Thank you so much for the chain of love and hope xxxxx


I changed my new picture


................. the fluffy boa is the one daughter knitted for me


and the bear's boa was the ribbon round the package!



It is lovely to see everyone coming back on tot he thread, and feeling better than they were.




Huia ........................ that fungus is a glorious colour. Did you ever see the Fairy Wren in Australia? That's almost that same colour!!

<3 <3 <3 <3 <3

Hi Girls,

Marie, thank you for your welcome back....it's nice to be back and talking to all our friends on here.

Hope your family reunion will go well for you, you've put so much time and effort in to organising it all, that I'm sure it will all turn out brilliantly.

How are your family all getting along? I bet your grandchildren are really getting quite grown up now. It would be nice if we could keep them as children a bit longer as the time passes so quickly.

Are your daughters and their children all going to the reunion too?


Mo, hope you and Roly are okay. Are you playing in a darts match tonight?
I know you usually play on a Monday night, unless it's changed.

It was lovely having most of us back on here yesterday, hope it will continue that way now as it's been a lonely thread over the last weeks.


Jean, hope all is well with you, Jeff and Debra. I expect you are busy making your cards.


Caz, how are things with you and Phil today? Hope you are feeling a bit better today.


Huia, as the others have already said, the fungus is a beautiful colour ...I love those shades of blue.



Betty, hope all is well with you today. Thinking about you. Take care.




We haven't heard from Tess for a long while, I hope she's okay.



Sylvia, just in case I can't get back on here later on, just wishing you the very best of luck for tomorrows op. Looking forward to seeing back on here again when you are much better, we shall all miss you while you're away.
Sending you lots of hugs and positive thoughts.

000000000000 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 000000000000



Hope I haven't missed anyone out, speak to you all again tomorrow.


Love and best wishes. Sallie.xxx

Hi Sallie, I can't stop as I have got darts tonight, fancy you remembering, wish me luck honey.

I think it must be nearly morning time in Canada, Sylvia will soon be through her operation, thank the lord.

0000000000000000000000 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 000000000000000000000000
Speak to you tomorrow girls. Love to all. Mo xxx

Mo, good luck with your darts match tonight, hope your team will win.

Sylvia doesn't have her operation until tomorrow Mo, it's still Monday in Vancouver, I think it's about lunch time there. I'm not too sure about the exact time.

Speak to you all tomorrow.


Love Sallie.xxx

Jean just seen your message about Caz. I hope she hasn't hurt herself too badly and that after a couple of days bed rest will feel better.

Thinking about you Caz and sending you lots of gentle hugs and positive thoughts.

Just wish there was something I could do to help you.

Love and best wishes. Sallie.xxx

Marie, I am not sure what you mean by PLAY followed by a wink. I am in a tour group which includes my sister and her OH so I wont be getting up to any hankypanky. :-(

Best wishes to all who are unwell. I have heaps to do today and shouldnt be on here.

Huia.

Has everyone gone into hiding?lol!! Nobody's been on all day.

Mo, did your team win last night? I hope so.


I'm thinking about Sylvia, and wondering if she's had her op yet. Hope she's had it by now and that it all went well.........read on one of the threads that she was due to have the op at 5pm, UK time, so it should all be over by now.

Caz, hope you are feeling a bit better today after your fall yesterday.


Thinking of you all and hope that you are all alright.


Speak to all soon. Take care.


Love and best wishes. Sallie.xxx

Hello Sallie. I am here but as I was the last one to post yesterday I didnt see any point in answering myself. Talking to myself would have proved that I am a bit gaga.

Huia.

Good morning all.

Sylvia has asked me to post on this thread re her progress.

You will be delighted to know that I received the following email from her husband this morning.....


Sylvia had the surgery at 9:00am and was very awake and resting well by
2:00pm. No problems so she should be home tomorrow.



Thank God for that :-D
