Good evening everybody. Much nicer day here after yesterday which was cold and wet.
Well a lot has happened since I last postedā¦my younger son who lives in Joāburg, had a massive heart attack ā¦his bro who was skiing in France got a taxi to Geneva (Ā£350) then a plane to Joāburg via Jeddah (Ā£400)ā¦taxi driver very happy I imagine! My d-I-l flew out Thurs. Heās recovering after having 2 stents fitted side by side in the same artery and being called the miracle man by his consultantā¦luckily my son is very fit which helpedā¦heās still in ICU but has been up and hoping to go to a general ward soon.Heās been watching the rugby and the guy in the next bed is the SA rugby player whoās got MND and is criticalā¦
Heavens Nimby, that must have been a nasty shock for you - and the rest of the family. Hope your son is well on the way to recovery by now.
Took the family out to lunch today. Jamieās 12th birthday on Tuesday and itās turning into a four-day event. His Mum and Dad took him and a few friends to Laser Quest in Merthyr yesterday, while Chris and I went to see āSingā in the cinema in Hereford.
Think I may have a chilblain on my big toe - anyone know whatās good for chilblains? Donāt think Iāve ever had one before.
OMG Nimby , what a shock for you all. Hope everything goes well xxx
No idea about chilblains Sue . Havenāt heard of anyone having them for years
You will have to Google them lol
Cold ,windy and now wet yuk
Been busy with the hoover and the TV for me now xx
Discovered on closer examination that I have an infection under my toe nail - ugh! Now on antibiotics.
Cold and wet here today, sitting with foot in bucket of hot salty water has its attractions!
Nimby hope your son is well on the road to recovery. Sue sorry to hear that you have an infection on your toe. Jac Iāll get the hoover out tomorrow. Well done to your team yesterday.
Neil has had an MRI and all clearā¦no damage at allā¦now out of ICU and on a general ward. BIG relief !!!
Good news Nimby xxx
Quite nice today after that rain yesterday and Iām out for a pub-lunch later xxx
What a relief for you Nimby.
Out and about early this morning,now in for the rest of the day.
Son no 1 coming back from Rome today,son no2 flying to Seattle today-itās one in,one out of the country!
Nimby great news about your son. Jac we must have your rain today its poured nonstop here. Rhosyn my friend wants some of us to go to Rome in a few months.
So glad your son has had the all clear Nimby.
Toe still looks grotty but doesnāt hurt, thank goodness. Took it to stand on the Sports Field at the secondary school to watch hundreds of primary school children running their cross country! Chris was 26th in his group - not too bad when you think there must have been more than 40 running!
Jamieās 12th birthday today, so we had sandwiches, birthday chocolate cake and present when we came home. Also time for the yearly measurement against the door jamb in the kitchen. Both he and Chris have grown almost two inches in a year! Donāt know what their Mum is feeding them onā¦
Happy to say that son is now homeā¦onward and upward!!!
Thatās good news Nimby xx
Sunny start here but overcast and cold now
Not doing much xxx
Nimby glad to hear that your son is home. Really cold wind here today and I was visiting my friend in hospital.
Glad your son is now home Nimby.
Had a lovely afternoon with my girls yesterday.The baby is doing well,itās so nice to cwtch a little one again.

I had to go out to Bank and Chemist and called into a friend with her b/day present for tomorrow . Another friend was there so we enjoyed a good chin-wag
Lovely to have a baby cwtch Rhosyn , you cant beat it xxx
Evening Ladies. Well it seems to have been about the coldest night of the year here in South Wales.
Iāve forgotten who was the name of that lady who used to run the SAGA dining club to which some of us here belonged some years ago. I havenāt seen her here for a while - is she still with us - was it rouser?
I expect you will completely ignore this as you have done everything else I have posted here in recent years. I mostly use another select and private site but I am also all on my own with no local family since my motherās death last June. Her Care Home on Port Talbot seafront was very good and I miss them but am glad to still have my Church and the Community that goes with that.
Woke up this morning to a slight layer of snow and itās still snowing.Cooking a family lunch tomorrow so out shopping early,hope the snow stops.
Good luck in the rugby today our boys.
Bob lwc bois.
Grey and flipping cold here so a day in catching up with TV recordings for me
Have a good one xxx
Good afternoon everybody. Had family down last night and we went for a walk before they went home. Really cold and windy here and Iāll have to go out again to the shops.
