Hi everyone!

Hey JVH hope next week is not as busy for you but very nice you have your son and neice helping out. I agree with scatty re the palliative care - it may help your friend be more comfortable in the interim.

Hiya pjbear yes I remember Bernard King and how he passed several years ago - I used to like the way he called 'a spade a spade' - $50 for a cookbook is pricey - especially when you can google any recipe imaginable on-line. Many thanks for your offer of help will holler! Hope your results are ok on Monday.

Hi kezza - keep that door locked and bolted - no way should the landlord from hell just walk in - how utterly rude and wrong! The new place you have your eye on sounds lovely! Sorry about your knees - but recovery these days is very fast from the surgery and much less invasive (my OH needs it as well).

Hiya scatty - great advice re JVH's friend - hope you are travelling well and not working too hard.

Bella ditto to you - take it easy and don't worry about the housework you are not up to it (and it's not going anywhere!) - have you got anyone close who could give you a hand?

Hello to the Dame hope you are enjoying your weekend

Purple enjoy wearing those boots while you have the opportunity and have fun in Hobart (you are so lucky!)

Libby if you are lurking you are truly missed. Pjbear has tried to contact you for us - I'm thinking maybe you have more computer woes? Do take care and come back soon.

Waves to everyone and wishes all a great Sat. night (staying home tonight as we went out for dinner last night) - hope there is something worthwhile watching on t.v.
