We’re not too good I’m afraid. Vera’s knee is very slowly improving, but still a great problem. My shoulder got dealt with - they Undislocated it in A&E and gave me a follow up appointment a week later. My hand is swollen and doesn’t work, to the extent that I am starting to wonder if I’m destined to be one-armed for the rest of my life. Can’t drive, can’t even pull paper off the toilet roll!!! Picked up a bad back when I fell too. Can’t stand, can’t sit, can’t walk, can’t smile!
And then last Friday evening whilst we were out, some weirdo came into our garden and made off with our potted maple tree.
So for the moment we are grumpy and I’m sorry for myself.

Crikey! As they say, apart from that, how was the play, Mrs Lincoln.
Spate of bad luck, but I wish you all a swift and full recovery, as well as the return of your maple tree.

I,m so sorry Dennis, i hope you are soon improving, its not long until your sept holiday, will you manage? i cannot believe someone would be so pathetic as to steal a potted tree, not nice to think someone creeping round your garden.

Holiday is a question mark at the moment.
The potted tree theft is amazing. They dragged the pot about 6 feet towards the back gate, tipped it over, got the tree and soil out and made off with it, but without the pot, which they actually put back tidily in the exact place it came from and completely empty. They pushed my wheelbarrow up against the gate and put some bits of wood on top to use it as a step to climb out over the top. Smile - if they had looked, they would have seen that the gate padlock wasn’t closed, just hooked on!!!

sounds like someone who spotted it and wanted it but felt guilty so left the pot. The gate not bolted , reminds me of my sons car being stolen , found partly burnt out, they had damaged passenger side lock to get in, put the drivers side lock was open it didnt work ! i have just spent many minutes rotating my avatar resizing goig into all manor of altering settings i am now the right way up

We’ve been told there’s a spate of maple thefts round here, considered valuable - we just thought it was a good looking tree!

Thats so sad dennis if you can,t go Dennis. I;ll keep my fingers crossed your hand gets better in time. Especially Vera she has suffered all due to that awful woman you told us about in july that no one likes, who thinks she owns the place. Hopefully meet up again in september

Oh dear, Dennis - am so sorry to read about Vera, you and your tree. Not good right now, but am hoping you'll see some improvement for you both in time so your holiday can still go ahead 🤞
