Well, just got back from the Oschner outpatient clinic. Spent all afternoon there with hubby, who was having scheduled outpatient surgery to remove a skin cancer that was next to his eye. The surgery was entirely successful, and the surgeon used special cosmetic surgery procedures to close the wound so that it'll just look like a normal crease and not a scar. :eek: But he's got 10 stitches you can see, plus more that are buried deeper. Hubby is napping now and I may do likewise!
Hubby is a very fair-skinned platinum blond who grew up in Texas: running around outside all the time. The sun exposure is catching up with him! This is about his 4th surgery.
But all's well that ends well, says I! :)
Good Luck, I hope he recovers well.

Good Morning Carol, I am getting up with temps of 4° which is so much better than yesterdays -6°!!! Have a marvellous day...
I am scared of jinxing it, however today it is overcast, so hopefully we get some rain. I am not sure what the temperature is outside, but it is definitely cooler than yesterday. I hope you have a fantastic day as well.:)

Sounds like South Africa. Here if you don't want things to go walkies you have to use a courier service, normal post (unless it is a Bill) can grow legs and end up somewhere else. LOL

Something about Adam Lambert makes my skin crawl.

You’re the second person to say that to me in the last few hours.

From where we were sat, a long way up and back, we could barely see him.

I treated the experience like going to see the stage show We will rock you... it was a show featuring Queen music made better by Brian May being on guitar :)

Good morning all. It’s still 6C here.

I am glad to hear it has warmed up for you Jane. I am still taking thermals when we head up for Mum’s birthday this weekend though :D

Lena, I am not expecting Vienna & Budapest to be much warmer than Roskilde,but I am looking forwards to the postcards. I have never been to Hungary! I love Vienna, but it can be VERY cold there.

Fingers crossed for rain in Cape Town and successful post in Paisley too.

John, it would be ringing Royal Mail and putting in a complaint about missing post. You won’t get compensation probably, but if people complain they will start investigating... it happened here a few years ago and they caught a guy at the sorting office.

Haha. I expect it could be colder if anything, these countries being in the middle of the continent. But geographically, they're south, which is just a heart-warming thought. :D
Any tips regarding Vienna? It will be my first trip to both places.

Sending you and hubby the best wishes and for him a good wound healing. White skin and bright hair are no good preconditions to live under a "agressive" sun like in Texas.

Hi Kathy,

It is amazing to see actually just how small the world is sometimes. And very interesting to see that what we think is a big issue here in Cape Town, other places have already been dealing with for alot longer. And thank you that you broke your silence to welcome me. Makes me feel very welcome.
Not only feel welcome.:) You are welcome.:):<3: That makes the difference !:D

You have found the right place with the right people. :rolleyes:
By the way: Can we have pics of your tort ?:D We are addicted to pics:eek:
Sure I am always happy to share pics. But most of these have already been posted here, so apologies to those of you have already seen them.;) The pic of baby 1 had sand in the table, until JoesMum taught me otherwise. Baby2 is what Baby looks like now and is the most recent photo. Baby3 is more or less right in the beginning after I found Baby, however the grass did not do well in the table so had to replace it. And the closed chamber is what I finally figured out this weekend - how to close the table. But I have since realised that I the wall might get mold due to the humidty so have to figure something out which will solve that issue and or try and find a better solution that won't cost me the earth.
