I am still blogging with my book review blog, but the other is being put on the back burner, only to be posted in very occasionally. Not fed up at all, not in my nature, but the surgery is pretty invasive though nowhere near as major as the transplant I had in '86. But... with a general and my other health issues, there is always a worry at the back of my mind, that I am not going to put into words here. And it's the wait, anytime in the next two months or so. But looking forward to autumn, crispy leaves underfoot for the walk in the woods occasionally, and all the other comforting things that go with that season.<br />Take care and hope Ulverston was successful xAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3866534943061532614.post-68878152625158916672013-08-31T21:19:24.689+01:002013-08-31T21:19:24.689+01:00Jack, our youngest third 'baby' had a laug...Jack, our youngest third 'baby' had a laugh when we dropped him off at university for the first time. "See you soon and don't put a sewing machine in my room" he smiled. When we phoned him later on - to make sure he hadn't starved or anything - he said "How long, then Mum?" - I replied "Under an hour" - that's how long it took to rig up my sewing machine in his room! They're fine - they've worked for it and got to where they want to go - we're still important there in the background, providing an ear when their phone has credit, and food when they come home. Enjoy your pop-up shop - looking good and don't worry - now's the time for us to have fun again too!Adalizahttp://adaliza.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3866534943061532614.post-81356585649771770592013-08-31T01:45:15.762+01:002013-08-31T01:45:15.762+01:00Great window display Claire!

Be brave when you drop of Harry ... and don't cry in front of him!! Wait till you're safely back in the car before you let go the floodgates of tears. Poor Claire ... I'll be thinking of you because I'm dropping my daughter off at university on Tuesday :( (please pass the lace-trimmed hankie).
