I want to ask a question and Davemac you can tell me to mind my own beeswax if you want.
Arta poorly Lad....dusta need a nurse to come and collymoddle thee?
Or are your camera's bust? What all of 'em?
I have missed seeing your ramblings and the nature changes in our local flora.

If you are off your legs...I still have connections in the nursing fraternity...or better still I could come and do your bed bath myself

Thanks for the concern Mrs P. one way and another I have used up my green shield stamps with the N.H.S. My wife was getting ready for a hip replacement, perching stool and frame around the toilet all in place, then the operation was cancelled.........twice(theater technicalities), then I had to go in as a day patient for a frozen shoulder, manipulation under anesthetic, then the only bright spot on the horizon, my little tinker gave birth to a boy last Friday. Slightly complicated with her waters breaking on Wednesday night, this put dads taxi on red alert for contractions, if they didn't happen then a 6 am(Thursday) report to Burnley General for monitoring, before being sent home, this happened again the following day before an inducement was required due to distress. Waiting for a call for immediate scrambling to defcon 3 meant I didn't go to bed after the previous Tuesday until Friday night. So that is it in a large nutshell, all the above was compressed into the month of December.
So as you will appreciate not much of a window for my playtime, I can only hope things take a turn towards a more relaxed new year, but thanks again for the concern, and at the first opportunity I hope to make a break for the wide open spaces and put the results on here, Merry Christmas and a new year that is pleasant for us all.

Blooming heck. I thought I had a plateful, but you have two dinner plates and a side plateful.
Congratulations on becoming a G thingy(I really didn't appreciate my foray into the world of G'ness. It was never on my 'to do' list...well being 14 in my head it wouldn't)
As for the frozen shoulder...I hope you are fixed now. Horrible thing to have.
I hope your wife gets her op soon and that you have got all your troubles out of the way for the whole of 2017(a bit like shopping in advance).
I wasn't being nosy(well, perhaps a little)...was just a wee bit worried you were off your legs rather than being kept in at playtime.

Every good wish to you and yours Dave...hope you have a Christmas you can enjoy.

At the time you don't think about it, you just get on with it, its only when you look back you think flippin eck, but back is not the direction we are going, so hopefully we can all look forward to a better 2017, one way or another that's the only direction we have, so make the best of today and lets all have a happy new year, or at least as happy as is possible.

[Margaret Pilkington]

Yes, you are right.
I hope that you get time to play out very soon.

Love your springers!
Although we no longer have a dog, I look after a springer on a regular basis, & we have 4 others in our immediate family!
