Your grandson is gorgeous, Cinds.

He is isn't he, a proper little cutie. 

 He sure is. 

My granddaughter is 16 weeks now and she just lights up my life. Being a grandparent is fabulous!

It is, do you think it's because you don't have them permanently so have much more patience.

Definitely!

I've got my cataract op tomorrow. Very nervous.

Good luck Col 

My FiL has had both eyes done, you'll be fine, Col. 

Thank you.  

Aww! Col! I've only just seen this! I'm sure you'll be fine. My ancient dad had the ops last year without any problems. 

If you've had a care package assembled you'll be out of the hospital asp. Don't be nervous, he was and breezed it. I'll be thinking of you. I hope you've got some way to let us know how it went?  Take care luv. 

Catching up....

Yogi, Cinds:  Congrats on the new arrivals  

And Cologne, good luck with the op; hope it goes smoothly for you

Seems like it was a day for it yesterday at the drop zone Mr C jumps at.  He was injured when jumping in windy conditions, thankfully he only suffered badly bruised heels and is struggling to walk.  But then this one happened shortly after.  The guy airlifted to hospital is the same instructor Master C was strapped to.

A parachute instructor has been airlifted to hospital with serious injuries after crashing to the ground at a County Durham airfield.

Early reports suggest the 58-year-old's chest was struck by his student's head after landing hard at the Peterlee Parachute Centre when a gust of win caught the chute they were flying in tandem.

A Great North Air Ambulance helicopter crew flew the man, who is from the Gateshead area, to the James Cook University Hospital in Middlesbrough, where his injuries have been described as severe.

Thanks Cosi.

 Cinds!

I'm glad Mr Cinds wasn't too badly hurt and hope the instructor recovers quickly.

 have you heard how he is today cinds 

I love the song to the persil ad, I'm going to try and found out who sings it as it sounds like Ozzie Osbourne 

A man and his son are driving along the motorway. They have a crash. The father is killed. The son is severely injured. On arrival at the hospital the son needs an operation. The surgeon looks at the boy and say "I cant operate on this boy"

Why?

The doctor is his mother.

I haven't.  Hoping he makes a speedy recovery.

I can't think of the Persil advert, can you link it to youtube?

Correct.  I didn't get it until I was heard the answer 

 Just had news re jump instructor, broken ribs and dislocated shoulder, but will be fine, thankfully.

That's good news Cinds 

It's outro by m83, never heard of them  

Aww Your Grandson is so cute Cinds!!

Thank you Jen.  How's things with you?  Is Archie thriving? Did you have a fab holiday? What are you having for tea tonight?  

Just kidding, I just seemed to be on a roll with the questions. 

Archie is doing brilliantly Cinds, he drank 20mls from a bottle on Sat and had a little bit of milk from the breast too!! They moved him from a hot cot to a 'normal'  one now that he's back optiflow.... they needed the holes in the hot cot for the tubes etc... (even though he's been maintaining his own temp for a while)

Holiday was really good.... very packed with activities and I'm totally shattered! My dad though... He was like a  big kid lol 61 and going on all the rides with the kids... we even dragged him onto a slow 'rapids' flume that goes outside which was good until he plopped off the end and sank... i literally lifted him up and propped him on the side to catch his breath bless him.

And considering i got home about an hour and a half ago with 2 suitcases of washing for tea it's chippy (it's being bought as i type a lot cheaper and nicer than the chippy in Butlins too!!... I really didnt rate the chippy there tbh)

I might put up some pics of Archie and a couple of hol later/tomorrow x

Brilliant to hear the little man is doing so well. Twenty ml of milk, what a porker!!!!

I'm guessing the hospital has had your SiL in the neo natal dairy room to help maintain her flow of milk. (That's what I called it anyway, as I felt like a cow at the dairy having the milk sucked out of me mechanically). Bless her she must have been thrilled to bits to be able to get him on the breast. 

He sounds like he is making amazing progress. 

Glad to hear your hols went great too. I just hope you haven't got the god awful rain we have at the moment so you can get all of the holiday laundry out on the line to dry.

Chippy, sounds like a great plan.

Random-ness...

Very random

So far so good Cinds, it's overcast but warm and dry so I'm happy lol well until it starts raining and i don't notice for 10mins

I'm down to 1/2 a suitcase of washign now and it's in the kitchen next to my washer... The little one just climbed inside it

Were you tempted to close it? 

I've just seen this on twitter and it made me laugh.

Men; what do you do if a bird craps on your windscreen?

A) Wash it off yourself

B) Take it to a carwash

C) Finish with her?

And this

i said NOT the ear!

i love that

If I take the P out of pirate will he be furious? 

took me a second to get that one Cinds
