@mismi,
Hey mis... yep, special little black kitty! Will see on Saturday...
So, parents came over - PaPa came to tell me he had another lesion on his head (he's had these before and had chemo cream) - so, then MaMa said she just wanted to let me know about things..... so then of course I had to tell them everything (guilt guilt guilt on my part) - anyhoo - told them I had had biopsies and all was OK (said I already had the results - am sure tomorrow will be a good result) and about the foot surgery.... PaPa can't cope with details but I did make him laugh a bit (he winces at the thought of it) - so that was OK - now they know what they need to know and that it's all sorted out so they don't have to think about. MaMa flapped a little - but that's a MaMa thing - so, all in all, it went well.
The Crimbo tree is now residing out by the bamboo...
I showed my parents behind the greenhouse... there are two trees there, that, if they are cut down would lead down to an area where you could throw a picnic blanket and put some chairs ..... so... have asked PaPa for the chain saw... and gonna make that a little area to sit right next to the river. Will be lovely - they did give me one of their funny looks - but that's OK - it will be lovely.
