COLD DARK ROOM

[Cathie G]

Hello all, going to take a break from the TFO for awhile. News from my doctor was a bit alarming for me.
My right lung that had 2 punctures in it from the accident. The lower 1/3 is not functioning and what was thought as scaring in the lung looks different. Plus my pulmonary arterial hypertension is progressing. So my oxygen saturation is staying low. So more imaging needs to be done.
I am going to take a break from TFO for awhile and crawl back into my hole. I will try to check in now and then.

I'm so sorry to see that. You and your family have been through so much. I'll be thinking and praying for you while you recover from another setback.

Our sky turned so dark this early morning that it looked like dusk almost night. It must be a fast moving storm system. Hope it moves along quickly for you also.

Good mornooning everyone. Yesterday I went to buy a new phone which wasn’t as straightforward as it should have been. And then I had a governor meeting in the evening. I do finally have the phone set up and working, so hopefully there will be no further glitches in my attention to the CDR!

Yay!!’ Back in touch)

Congrats! I’m sure your exams will be a breeze! Study and relax!

An enjoyable and interesting read: National Geographic article about Aldabra island and its torts on their home turf

Thank you for the link. The article was interesting and the photos were amazing.

Ah, I understand. It is the same with Japan who is hunting wales only for scientific investigation. Only a big, big lie.

Exactly and I believe they are starting whaling for commercial use again in July because they say whale numbers have recovered enough for them to do it.
Shameful!!

I have been putting off getting a new phone for ages. I had to buy a very basic unlocked, no sim phone when I came out of hospital as the touch screen had gone on my 8 year old Nokia Asha phone and I needed one for emergencies when I was home alone, but it really is a cheap and cheerful model that just lets me text and call (it does have a torch though!).
I don't want an all singing, all dancing phone. I don't need the internet and loads of apps and they are so big now! Anyway I will get one with a camera - one day

Technically finished secondary school today, woohoo!!!! Still have to come in for exams though.

Did you have a Record of Achievement ceremony and do the shirt signing thing that our kids like to do on the last day they will all be together in school?
Time to knuckle down now and get all those GCSEs under your belt!
Hope they are all going OK and will continue to go well for you, Ben!

Off on another long weekend of kayaking early tomorrow. We’ll drive over to Maryland’s Eastern Shore, load boats onto a ferry, and end up in the middle of the Chesapeake Bay @ Tangier Island. Wxr is looking good. No reliable phone or internet service. We’re going back in time.

Sounds great.
Will you leave Sully out while you are away or will he be secure inside?

 

[Lyn W]

Oh really, I’ve got a 6s. Maybe that’s a good excuse to pester dad about getting a new one

Maybe he'll get you one if you do well in your exams!!
