Hope today goes well for you, pompa.

Sounds good, just what I would hoped the QC, would come up with. brew

As a few of you know, my oldest and closest friend is seriously ill atm (this has devastated me), we are heading to London to visit him in hospital tomorrow, we just pray he has improved and knows who we are, he was very poorly yesterday. His wife seems to be coping amazingly well. He just had a slight cough before we went on holiday, returned to find him admitted to hospital for surgery to drain and re-attach a detached lung. It will be another 2 weeks before they get the biopsy results to determine the cause.

The QC is exactly what I need atm.

I've made a nice mug of hot chocolate there is some left in pan on the little camping stove if you fancy some,I'm going to snuggle down on this comphy bean bag and relax a while,I've left a fresh tin of cheese straws on the side if anyone fancies some nibbles,but tell glass they are low calorie ones as she is lurking over the other side of the shed with her bucket of wine lol

pompa Sat 12-May-12 21:33:36

Good to see the quiet corner back again, that is just what I need.

Here for a little sit down after a very busy day. I'm having both a real and a virtual wine - I deserve it and as I've watched every morsel that I've eaten I can even quaff it with a clear conscience. Aaaah!

Blimey! Is POGS still here? Where? confused

Ariadne Sat 12-May-12 20:48:09

Butternut Sat 12-May-12 20:40:56

Isn't that a nice word, soothingness. smile

Hope you bounce back tomorrow, B

Anagram Sat 12-May-12 20:33:22

Watch it, Bags! Mixing your drinks is not a good idea....hmm

Notsogrand Sat 12-May-12 20:32:59

Bags, lots of soothingness here. smile
I've had a happy and achy day in the garden, so ready to just chill in the corner.
I've been offered an exercise bike freebie from my daughter's next door neighbour who's having a clear out. I'm trying to work out how to attach a book rest to it so I can cycle and read.

Bags Sat 12-May-12 20:26:03

Thank you nag and glass. Yes to both of those! brew wine

jeni Sat 12-May-12 20:24:33

glassortwo Sat 12-May-12 20:17:03

glassortwo Sat 12-May-12 20:15:40

Sorry about my Pjs and slippers but DH has walked my legs off in Town and I need a sit down and a glass of wine ahhh thats better. Lasagna prepared earlier and now warming up in the oven, so I can enjoy 5 mins peace and quiet.

Anagram Sat 12-May-12 20:15:15

Sympathy, Bags....
Have a cup of tea.

Bags Sat 12-May-12 20:05:49

Hope your birthday was enjoyable, for all the running about, harri, amd yours too, gally.

Bags Sat 12-May-12 20:04:47

I'm coming in for a little soothingness. I'm very rarely fed up with shit stuff life throws at me, but I am just now. I'm sure the quiet corner will effect a cure. I'll just sit and people watch if that's OK.

Anagram Sat 12-May-12 19:50:45

I think I deserve a glass of wine, jeni, after the day I've had!

What about you, harrigran?

jeni Sat 12-May-12 19:46:43

I think you are tired. The kettles on or would you preferwine I have a rather nice Brunello here?

Anagram Sat 12-May-12 19:36:04

Just realised there shouldn't be an 's' after GC! blush

Anagram Sat 12-May-12 19:34:54

You should try coming down the stairs on your bum, like my GCs do, harrigran!

harrigran Sat 12-May-12 19:25:26

Shove over I am coming in. Ye Gods I am exhausted after a day with GC. My legs are aching from running up and down stairs.

jeni Sat 12-May-12 19:20:34

anma Sat 12-May-12 19:14:13
