Hello lovelies
@bling_dream19, that ring was truly meant to be yours, I think you should call her Kismet! It’s just the perfect compliment to your set.
@Polabowla I hope your DS has recovered from his concussion, poor chap. How’re you doing?
Good news your Mum got her first vaccination
@canuk-gal , I hope she’s feeling fine and had no serious reaction to it.
Hopefully the vaccination situation will be a lot better in SC
@junebug17 and you and DH will be able to get yours without too much bother. There’s always such a lot to do before you go away, I often wonder why we go, but then the minute we reach our destination I realise it’s all been worth it. Have you done anymore painting lately?
What a great thing to do
@MMtwo, I’m sure all those who lost their fish during the outages will be extremely grateful to receive new stock. We used to have tropical fish, and lost them all when the thermostat when kaput

WOW, that’s fantastic news for your son, you must be so proud and happy that he made such a great impression that he was offered the job so quickly. I wish him every success in his new position.
Most of our dogs were always happy to see us when we got home
@marcy, just Monty, he was very sensitive, and didn’t like us leaving him, even though he was spoilt rotten when we were away. Dottie was always very restrained, we knew she was happy to see us, but she was never one to make a big fuss. That’s good news that your BIL’s Dr is happy with the treatment he’s received, and hopefully he can have the surgery soon and start to get better.
I hope you’re having fun with your guests
@mrs-b and that the Humira is working it’s magic on you.
I’m sorry that life is so difficult at the moment
@missy, and that the Dr’s appt didn’t go as you would’ve hoped. You have had more than your fair share of challenges, and it’s about time you got a break. Continuing to keep you in our thoughts and sending lots of love and good wishes your way.
We actually went to the supermarket yesterday, first time in months, it wasn’t particularly busy so we took a list each and got round as quickly as we could. We didn’t manage to get out for a walk because it was foggy in the morning, and wet in the afternoon.
We finally got the paperwork from the electrical contractor

Good grief, we spent hours looking at every light switch, electrical socket, light placement, tv point, USB point, telephone point, and anything remotely electricity related, went through endless pages of lists of extras - half of which we don’t know what they are, and the other half, don’t know if we need them

We’ve got a meeting in a hour to discuss it with them, so hopefully they can clarify a few things with us.
Keeping you all in my thoughts and sending love and hugs to you all
Edited to add, Adam took Bertie to the vet yesterday, and much as I thought, she definitely thinks he’s a lot younger than the shelter said. I’ve always thought he’s still a pup, and the vet thinks he’s probably only 12-18 months old.
