That’s good to know. I guess my first thought was of him being so far from home.

I’ll be forever grateful to him for tipping Labaik though…

I’m shaking!

My ex husband dropped in today for a chat and he binge watched it last night, too..

Winnie whippet has to go out for a last wee at midnight; if not she gets me up in the early hours, so I have to watch tv till then!

Is it the leg that was infected? I feel as if someone’s poured a bucket of cold water over me.
