Spare a Thought.....
« on: April 08, 2011, 02:45:06 PM »
May I invite forumists to spare a thought tomorrow for our very good friend Ranunculus who, rather than enjoy a pub lunch with us at Knowle, will undergo 'a procedure' at his local hospital. :'(
I know he is worried and feel it will help him if his pals in the forum express their best wishes for a successful outcome.
All the best Cliff - from all the family.

Well said, Johnny, I am sure that all of us will be holding dear old Buttercup Bookeroo in our thoughts. Always a scary thing to be in the hands of the Docs, but I'm sure all will be well and he will be back buttercupping with unseemly haste and vigour before we've had a chance to worry about him. Hearty forum good wishes and the biggest of virtual hugs to dear Cliff.... hope all goes well and that you are soon fighting fit once again.




 For you, Cliff......

By 'eck, it's been a busy afternoon... had to answer 747 emails  from Folk saying they are more than happy to spare a thought for the Bookeroo, but only if they don't have to chip in to buy him any grapes..... have contacted all saying I'm confident Sue will buy him plenty grapes and so they are all happily sparing happy healthy thoughts for Cliff............ ;) :-* :-* :-*

Hope all goes well, Cliff. On return home you will have every excuse to take life easy for a while, read that stack of books that has built up, surf the net, pass comment on SRGC forums etc. Looking forward to hearing from you next week.

Best wishes, Paddy

Please, please, please ... enough, but many, many thanks to you all!
It's only a simple cataract operation, but I dread the thought of someone (no matter how competent) slicing into my eye!!!   ;D

I am at the conference from Thursday but may have to imitate a pirate with a patch over my eye and a parrot on my shoulder.  LOL.

Thought of an eye op is frightening.... If I were you I wouldn't look, Cliff..... :-X

Somewhere I've got a parrot I made for a fancy dress event years ago.... we had a "boat" on wheels for a charity boat race..... had to have a ship's parrot.....I'll see if I can find it........ ::)
