That sounds like one very long and worrying day.
Thinking of you Cornergran. I hope that seeing Mr C tomorrow will help you to find a little peace.

Your little birds are very sweet, there seem to be a lot of somewhat fluffy youngsters about at the moment.

Thankyou Charleygirl for bringing us new of Cornergran and Mr.C . I’ve been thinking of her all day, she must be absolutely exhausted.

Thank you Charleygirl what an ordeal for Cornergran and Mr C, so glad it is behind them. Let’s hope it’s onwards and upwards for him now.

Thanks for the news Charleygirl
The Corners have been on my mind all day.
Sincerest best wishes for a complete and speedy recovery.

Nannytopsy Thu 27-Jul-23 23:32:27

Best wishes to the corners and NNGB to the rest of you. X

Grannmarie Thu 27-Jul-23 23:37:05

Glad to hear that MrC is through his operation and Cornergran and DS can visit him tomorrow. I hope she has a good sleep tonight.
Forgive my absence, we've had a sad time in the family, poor Granddog was diagnosed with a tumour and was PTS today. 😥 I said NNGB to him for the last time yesterday. I know that many have much greater worries, and he was just a dog, but he really was a grand dog.
I'll try to catch up with everyone's news soon, TOYA.

Grannmarie, not just a dog but part of the family. Our granddog dog had to be pts during lockdown, we still miss her. Sending hugs.

Charleygirl thank you for the update on Mr. C. I hope Cornergran managed to sleep. Grannmarie I'm so sorry to hear about your dog. I've loved three dogs dearly and they were part of my family. A dog is always glad to see you and is a companion. Of course you will miss him.

brook2704 Fri 28-Jul-23 07:23:09

grannmarie so sorry to hear about your poor granddog, sending ❤️

Naughtyneine Fri 28-Jul-23 07:37:10

Yay...onwards and upwards now for a speedy recovery for MrC and some calmness for you Corner after the traumas of the last few..it's on..it's off ..weeks.
Grandmarie...I feel for you. It's never just a dog. They share our lives and and before I meet DOH my dogs lifted my spirits daily when I was at my lowest. I firmly believe we will see them again... How could it be heaven without them there!!!.
I've got loads to do today...I don't think my feet touch the ground again until August 13th...
Soop ...I hope your poor head is healing and not too sore..
Have a good day everyone...

Grannmarie Fri 28-Jul-23 07:37:54

Thank you, Grandmabatty and Brook.

Thank you, Neine.

soop Fri 28-Jul-23 14:57:46

Thank you for updating us with Corner's latest news. I send them both healing vibes. flowers

Grannmarie My heart goes out to you. We know how you feel. Our animals are a precious gift that we never wish to say farewell to. Have you a good photo of your Granddog. If so, I may be able to paint a wee portrait for you. A gift. Grandmachrisy ditto

Nurse cleaned the laceration. Not to shampoo hair until a proper scab has formed. Is arranging for me to have an alarm thingy...just in case something similar happens when I'm home alone. hmm

Do you lovely lot realise that we shall be moving to a new gathering place before too long? Doesn't time fly?

Last night's sunset...

Jaxjacky Fri 28-Jul-23 15:06:18

Thank you Charleygirl for news of the corners may he recover well and corner relax a weeny bit.
Sad news Grannmarie you will miss him 💐

annsixty Fri 28-Jul-23 15:20:59

Good afternoon all.
I am back home after a lovely week with my D.
We haven’t spent so much time alone together for many years and it was good.
She decided to drive straight home after delivering me home.
It took her seven and three quarter hours to drive here last Friday but she decided to chance it today, I hope she is ok.

Soop I am thinking very seriously about the alarm thingy for myself, my pride must be swallowed and I must accept I am an old lady.
Also in the immediate future is a mobility scooter.
I had my Walker with me this week but I still struggled.

Not for wimps this ageing

Must start to unpack and sort myself out now.
Still thinking of the Corners and Grannmarie pets are very special.

Yiayia4 Fri 28-Jul-23 15:22:19

Oh dear Soop please take it easy and no more falls.🌻

That’s good news of Mr Corner now hope Corner can relax a little now.🌹
Grandmarie so very sorry to hear of your granddog.They do become part of the family I feel for you.
We are staying at our sons this week to look after our granddog I treat him like my own so I know how you feel.
We are only a couple of miles away from home so will go back each day to get on with the clearing out!We went back to the apartment yesterday for measuring up etc.We were able to meet the vendor and he is happy to move whenever so that helps.
Think it will be a takeaway tonight, Chinese would be nice.
Enjoy your evening Kitcheners.

SueDonim Fri 28-Jul-23 15:47:02

That’s good news from Cornergran. I hope you got a decent sleep last night, Corner.

I’m sorry, Granmarie, it’s so sad to lose our beloved pets.

Ds1 has been having tests today to check whether the chemo has worked. Results next week. It’s a tense time.

GrannyGravy13 Fri 28-Jul-23 16:24:04

I thought I would share some of my birthday flowers with you.

Losing a pet is upset , they are part of our family and take a little bit of our heart with them.

I do hope Mr.C is recovering from his op and that our dear Cornergran can relax.

soop slow down and take care.

Blossoming Fri 28-Jul-23 17:52:52

Good afternoon all, another day of dusting, sweeping, sorting and shredding. I’ve been for a shower to get the dust off and Mr.B is making fish and chips for tea. I came across my old project notebook from when I was working in Paris. Bittersweet memories, the lovely friend I made there died after complications following breast cancer surgery. We had such a lovely time and many laughs! My handwriting was so neat and tiny, not like the scrawl it is now.

So sorry to hear of your loss Grannmarie, our pets are precious members of our family. flowers

Hope Cornergran has been able to sleep and MrC is doing well.

Great harvest Jax, I feel like an explorer when I’m kitting myself out for my walks! Every day is a learning experience and an adventure.

Look after yourself Soop, an alarm may be a good idea.

Yia glad there’s progress on the property front. Enjoy the Chinese.

It’s awful waiting for the results SueDonim, will keep my fingers crossed for your son.

Beautiful flowers GG13, thank you for sharing with us.

Enjoy Friday evening everyone 🌹

brook2704 Fri 28-Jul-23 18:04:07

Hoping for the best possible outcome for your DS SueD, definitely a tense time like you say, keeping everything crossed ❤️
Such beautiful stunning flowers GG13, lucky lady! Thanks for sharing
I’ve had another lovely day, gym and coffee with a pal this morning and then DGD has been round this afternoon so we’ve finished all the board games and the conservatory table has now been reclaimed. The weather has been great today too, lots of warm sunshine, makes you feel so much better. DGS should be home from ScotJam soon, probably exhausted and in need of a very good wash 🤣
Enjoy your takeaway Yia sounds like things are progressing well nów
Love to Mr and Mrs Corner and hope all is well
grannmarie ❤️
Hi 👋 Blossoming, enjoy your Fish n Chips
Pleased you’re safely home ann and hoping your DD is also safely back home

Grandmabatty Fri 28-Jul-23 19:00:11

Beautiful flowers grannygravy. Yiayia, I'm having a Chinese takeaway courtesy of my dd. She's even going to deliver it. There's service! Brook it does indeed sound like you have had a lovely day. Blossoming enjoy your fish and chips. Suedonim I have my fingers crossed for your son.
I built the toy storage this morning. It's slightly wobbly but ok. Then I got cracking sorting out the redundant toys. Dd invited me up for a cuppa then I picked up my pal who was coming to my house for coffee. She jumped at some of the toys as she has two ggc and can use them. So everyone was happy. I then visited mum and she was very wandered today. Home now and waiting for my sweet and sour chicken. Have a good evening Kitcheners.
