Hope it all goes well for you foobar, all the best  :thumbsup: and let us know how you get on? I've been cleaning out buildings, something I've been trying to do for ages but couldn't, due to fencing and calving. Now listening to grieg whilst doing my accounts :(
the most beautiful people we have known are those who have known defeat, known suffering, known struggle, known loss and have found their way out of the depths. These persons have an appreciation, a sensitivity and an understanding of life that fills them with compassion, gentleness, loving concern.

Trekking into Aberdeen to see the consultant about my hand. Now I only have to wait another 3 months to get a steroid injection and then wait to see what they might do after that  ::)

Did the weeks messages this morning, came home & put it all away (while listening to the archers omnibus), put washing on, made soup, hung washing out, processed my cooking apples for the freezer, made bread, bagged up 15 black bags of leaves for leaf mould (don't have an area for a leaf bin at the moment), cleaned out the stove and got a new fire going in it, made a cuppy and I'm enjoying it at the moment while I'm on here  :excited:

very grateful to my neighbour for bringing his tractor and post banger round and spending half the day helping get 250m of stock fencing posts in place. Would have taken ages with a sledgehammer.

Waiting for an hour at the vets whilst he looks up what I mean by "CODD in my sheep" and finds a suitable antibiotic for me ... at an extortionate price ... :(

Watching the forecasted heavy slow moving rain - moving very slowly and saturating everywhere with temperatures around 16c, oh for some frost!
