	Well, it is working, Mummo... is that a chink of sunlight I spy peeking through the curtain of clouds??? Yeh!! Thank you. I hope you find your mum more settled once you get there. (((((((((hugs))))))) Maz, what is helike? That is soooo funny!! Jethro likes to stow away in vehicles... he has been on a few trips, but the best was when he tried to join the fire brigade, lol.... Ginnie, pm'd back xxxx I am trying to find a way of disguising a thread, lol... BC did suggest that I use a ginger moustache, but that won't work cos my steadfast and sturdy black one would get all bristly and defensive..... and you know how tough that is, not even the chemo could wipe most of it out, lol Any suggestions welcome. Lol Hopefully, the weather will be good here... there is lots going on in the local area for Littlie... a pub a couple of miles away has clowns, face paints and bouncy castle, and Tredegar House, which is nearby, has a fun day for youngsters, with crafts, games, storytelling sessions etc, so she will love it. And it is walkable, so perfect if the rain stays away. Well... lets go and chuck her in the shower.... and then get everyone else up as well. Love Daff xxxxx

	Mummo, I always lose my oh in that Asda, it is huge isn't it? Anyone remember its original name, back in the 70s we used to go there, it was a French firm and had a super restaurant where we used to stop on the way to Cornwall.

	Good afternoon all, mum wasn't to good this morning, wouldn't eat anything and would not wake up, so we decided to let her sleep which must have been right as she woke up a few minutes ago and told me no one was feeding her and she was hungry so she has now had something to eat and a few sips of coffee. I offered to go and do the shopping this morning...........not a good idea, went to Asda's at Cribs Causeway, it was far to big l couldn't find anything, lol. I'm cooking a family roast this evening so 9 of us for dinner. Hope everyone is keeping dry and warm, x

	Afternoon all.... sorry I am late.... I have been busy in between dozing. Son has now gone to collect Littlie, I think she will be staying 2 weeks this time, not the one I had to take more big guns in the night.... and now I feel all hung over.... but the aches have eased, so that is good... it was only because of having to sit still in uncomfortable chairs, and then not having my own mattress that night, which would have eased it... but it is so much better this morning. I am back off for a doze, now... I have just changed my bedding, B helped me with the re-making before he left... so I am off to slip into nice fresh clean sheets... I'll have to imagine the smell, lol but they feel good too, don't they? I'll be back on later. Love Daff xxxxx

	Very heavy showers here today but we have so far managed to avoid them and have done the T**** shop. Our weekend to M Keynes looks to be off as there is a flu bug going around, half the family have got over it, one now has it and one to go. Maybe next weekend if it is OK with them. So i have had to post littlie's card which was a large decoupage one and the second class post (there was a small pair of cut off leggings in there too) was £1.51!!! Anyway hopefully we'll see them next weekend, if not it will be August in Hampshire where hopefully they will join us for our G wedding family barbecue.

	Mummo, I don't know what to advise you, except maybe be as natural as possible when Mum is awake, talk naturally and go with her when she drifts off the subject, it may be the painkillers she is taking. But she knows you are there and just to be there is probably all you can do. I suspect it is harder on you than on her from that point of view, if her memory is hazy and the pain is under control she will be comfortable. sorry can't be more help but I am thinking of your Mum, and of you too, stay strong.
