SANDRA I am so sorry about the loss of Tom, he will be missed, and not just by you, will your neighbour keep Oscar? Poor little guy. It's a hard loss for you, You had a lovely dinner with fiends who shared, I am glad you have such a lovely community ((((hugs))))

CHERYL I am very sorry, I did suspect that, and that is why I have to keep having the tests, it does hit fast I hope the injections help, and he doesn't have too many side effects ((((hugs))))

THERESA your shoulder will take time, I hope the tendon hasn't torn, maybe a scan to see if there is underlying damage?? gentle hugs for you, crazy about wanting paperwork now!!

HOLLY yikes, so many fires with batteries as the cause, we have had quite a few in garages where people have left them on, so good you could have it cleared so quickly.

DEVONNE sounds like you are close to finishing your quilt, wet done, hope you can get a picture

JANETR hope you ave a good time at the retreat.

We had a surprise dinner for Gary's 80th last night just the girls and their families and us, he didn't want a big deal, I had no clue what to get him, he is very comfortably settled with no needs, so I bought a nice container, baked some Anzac  cookies and gave it to him, and told him I would refill with other treats when he wants LOL

It was an new Italian restaurant for us, quite expensive, very crowded and we ate quite late, we had to apply for new credit cards (hopefully today they will arrive ) and they used a QR order code at tables, but no card for us, so we had to wait on staff to take our order, I don't think anyone left tips - the service was really really slow, and we had to keep asking for everything. I didn't feel bad, we only tip here for very good service, the wages for staff are very good, and they don't rely on tips, and with  everyone paying with cards, the tips would go into the business anyway, we always keep cash on hand for staff even when paying by card. Not terribly disappointed with the food, but it was overpriced for what it was. 

The Mr saw his sis's Dr yesterday with his brother, and they wanted care directive forms signed - again - for the hostel, to make sure that care will be given to her, but no further testing, Dr said her organs are failing, and she seems to not be in pain but they will make sure she is comfortable. They were also testing glucose levels a few times a day, and that will now decrease to once a week, as was done before, as she was getting stressed about the reading, and no point in distressing her further as she has been refusing to eat because her levels were high. She is still getting around with her walking frame, and still seems happy.
