Good morning
Good vibes and hugs to you my friendGood morning all. Things a bit bumpy over here.
My godmother fell and smashed her hip and had to have it pinned at the start of last week. I always think of her as an aunt.
Her (second) husband was visiting her in hospital and had a heart attack. He was moved to a different hospital 30 miles away and was going to have a stent fitted, but yesterday they decided it was going to have to be a bypass.
Meanwhile, they want to discharge my godmother, who also has dementia, but that can't happen as there's nobody to care for her.
My 'cousin' is running round like a mad thing, her Dad died last year, only for her best friend to lose the battle against breast cancer this morning.
I feel a trip to Norfolk coming on to lend a hand.
Meanwhile we're under threat from Storm Doris. As the saying goes "it never rains, but it pours"
Good morning everyone
Looks like I have a road test for my job tomorrow. Good luck to me
good morning ma'am!
good luck
Eohippus being eaten by terror birds.Good night, Adam!
Wishing you sweet dreams of eohippus instead of nightmares of camels!!!!
Great line from a documentary :
"This is a world where birds eat horses."
I've got Mesohippus remains and John should remember a tooth I got of this type of extinct horse.
Good afternoon, Lena.Good morning, roommates!
A quick look tells me there was a lot of camel meat in the CDR. What else did I miss?
All I can remember is the camels.
Oh, dear.found out last night that my brother in law knocked a guy down while my niece was in the car
Not a very nice experience, but he should get over it in a while, I hope.
Glad everyone involved is okay.
Good afternoon Adam, Wifey and Tidgy.Nos da, Gillian.
Sleep well.
Love to Oli.
Yaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaayyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!I'm packing to Fes!
Absolutely beautiful.A few more postcards from me, this time from Hierapolis / Pamukkale.

Hierapolis was considered a sacred city in the Antiquity. It has a vast necropolis in the north. Variety of architectural styles of the tombs suggest that the dead were brought here from various other areas for burial.

This has to be one of the most beautiful burial places in the world: A tomb standing on a travertine.

The city gate built during Byzantium. Behind it is 900-meter-long Frontius street, once with shops and basins for washing.

Thermal water from underground made its way throughout the city along natural canals, these two ending in a thermal lake.

The site of Plutonium, an alleged entrance to the underworld. Poisonous fumes and carbon dioxide from the underground to this day kill any bird flying into it.

The magnificent Hierapolis theater towering over the city. Only the first of three levels of the stage have been restored.

Dionysus and Pan - possibly my favourite piece in the museum, housed inside a relatively well-preserved Hierapolis Bath.

This isn't snow. This is calcium carbonate, which gives Pamukkale its Turkish name - "the Cotton Castle". Most of these terraces were overflowing with thermal waters at one time. Today, there are a few natural pools at the top, open to the public.

All in all, this is the ancient city I would want to live in. Provided I was not a slave. Or a woman.
And fascinating.
Love those tombs and the springs.
Incredible.
Have a lesson now so must rush, speak later.
And thanks for posting.

i do
Well I've been to yoga and while me knee feels kind of weird, it's not hurting and it's certainly no worse than it was before
In the interim the hospital wants to move my godmother from the acute ward to a more appropriate level of post operative care in a nursing home and she's flatly refusing to be discharged. The dementia isn't helping here. We're working on it.
And her husband's bypass op, at a different hospital, has been postponed until next week. So he's holding a bed too.
I think my cousin could quietly murder both at the moment as they're giving her a hard time about things beyond her control. I sent flowers and chocs yesterday... to my cousin as she seemed most in need of comfort of the three of them!
The weather is yucky and deteriorating. I'm going looking for a comfort film to watch on tv

Good morning all.
Don't forget Fes medina!
And we also have Roman ruins with some of the most beautiful mosaics not far away in Volubilis, the edge of the Roman Empire, an exotic holiday location for very rich Romans.
