ATE EVERYTHING.. MEETS PAT.. JUMPS ON SCALES.. LOST 1/2lb!

I honestly thought that weigh-in was not happening today but Pat sent her a text message telling her something and off she went. Boots actually had her at a lb lighter, but until she gets to target, which in group is just a couple of lbs away, she'll bite the bullet and go by their scales.

Start of Wimbledon today, the weather was fine but doom and gloom are both arriving tomorrow.. sigh.. however, all is not lost, the new collection of couture fabrics have arrived and they're beautiful, as always.

She apparently caused the damage to grass trimmer herself.. grrrr? She didn't put enough oil in with the petrol.. boring! So she'll use this one until it dies and has decided to buy a new one from the friend of David, aka Master Machine Engineer and WW mender, apparently he stocks all the spare parts so will be able to mend it should it ever need repairing.

Oh Dear.. oh dear oh dear.. right from the start of us writing my blog, you've read about a wonderful and extremely nice friend of ours whom we call Wizard. She has just received a call from him, aka Rob, with not happy making news. He is undergoing emergency spinal surgery tomorrow because something has gone horribly wrong and something is doing something incredibly bad. Sigh..

As you can gather from that last sentence, she was so stunned she wasn't actually able to take in the full details. Oh dear, poor Wizard. No work for him for a long time they have said.. this is a man who rides and sails and skis. Luckily he also is an electronic Wizard and could earn a living sitting down but that ain't his style.

We will be praying for Rob tonight, in fact, she's already having more than a few words with God and some medically minded people she knows up there. For them to guide the surgeon to do his brilliant best work on Robs' back tomorrow.

Tomorrow she's off to the RA' Summer Exhibition with Tereza. Big treat, then they'll have lunch in Chinatown and cruise the supermarkets for scrummy oriental greens.. kai-lan is our favourite.

Much to do in the next few weeks, we have the date that the renovation work is starting, it's on July 25th. Now she has to get locks and mortices put into the doors of rooms and cupboards that she will be sealing up for the length of time we are not here.

Busy.. and we need to be gardening as there's lots to do but the two next days are a no-no, because of the Summer Exhibition tomorrow and because the forecast, for the next few days, is for heavy rain.. ugh.

The kitchen floor is waiting to be washed.. such an exciting life we live! We send you our regards and hope that you are all happy & healthy? We so wish Rob was.. "Dear God.. we beseech you to guide this surgeons hands and to save Robs spine.."

GeeGee Parrot.
