Good morning all, Am pleased to report that Son2 has had his final operation and been released from hospital. He won't be allowed to drive for six months and exercise will be severely curtailed. Its going to be a time of adjustment for him. MrSlim has arrived and we are returning to France in a...

19.03 6.40am FBG 5.3 News arrived yesterday that Son2 will have the ICD implanted next Thursday . That is if he manages to remain infection free until then. If all goes well he might be home by the weekend. MrSlim is threatening to kidnap me home. I understand that a great deal of work has...

My son had the great good sense to collapse in the company of trained first aiders and right outside the sports centre where there was a defibrillator immediately available. Even so it took three attempts to get his heart beating again. Multiple tests over subsequent days The doctors called...

Having a tough time at just now. Son2 is in ICU. Been there for ten days now after his heart stopped while he was out for a run. Luckily he got immediate first aid CPR and defibrillator but it was only yesterday the doctors were able to bring him round. So in UK for a while. Staying with...

Hello everybody.

H Here is Kiki five minutes after the heating came on - she has abandoned the soft blankets on the bed in favour of Warmth.

Counting blessings is not helping Feeling awful because should be grateful and instead am miserable and dissatisfied

This looks a really cosy space.

@Lamont D Whew, it's certainly been one of those weeks with so many appliances failing at once. Good luck for a bit more longevity for the rest. Hope you chase off that awful lurgy soon

But not this year...
