Not like I don't get enough holidays... there's only about 7-8 weeks to the summer. 
Ah well... its hard work, dealing with back injures and stroppy parents 
Its nice and sunny here. Whats it like there? Dare we whisper... Spring? 
I went to tesco earlier... I melted...
What is this unnatural feeling? Is it what they call "warmth"?
Must be.
Was watching penguin cam at Edinburgh zoo - it looked pretty warm
Not exactly penguin weather yesterday.
Today is rainy and muggy.

Shame
Theres a panda cam too. Can only see one but he/she was quite active today.
Pandas can be fun. 
Meant to be getting thundery at the weekend... O.o
Eeeek
Do you play Candy Crush Saga? Take my advice... never start, it is a life ruiner!
No, what is it?
A game... it's on phones/facebook. Bit like Bejewelled, but more complicated.
Ok. Don't know what Bejewelled is either lol.
Ahh... you know those games in which you switch blocks to make a group of 3+? One of those.
Looks like this...
I'm stuck on level 70... mum actually did a happy dance today for getting past level 28.
LIFE RUINING. *nods*
Looks addictive.
Our father's bowel cancer spread to his stomach and they aren't gonna operate so it looks bad. My Bruv was waiting days for the doc to ring but they couldn't even get his number right... NHS f.g.s.
Still waiting for more news.
I'll be up there ^^^^ talking nonsense to take my mind of it...
Don't even wanna think of whats next.
((((((Rosie))))))) 
I'm so sorry to hear that.
Thanks Hitch Hoping they can give our da chaemo or radiotherapy.
Haven't spoken to him in years - still - its a terribly sad way to go. Never had someone close die from cancer, have you?
Not really, a woman I used to work with died of it, but it wasn't long after I had started, I didn't know her well... Touch wood, I wont.
That said, my gran appears to have had umpteen types of cancer and survived them all. Having a stroke whilst smoking on the other hand...
Here's hoping the NHS get everything sorted quickly for you.
Your gran sounds pretty strong
Thanks - fingers crossed.
*plans to be "a distraction". it begins*
I met a nice man today... he hopes you like gerbera daisies?
*apologies for bad GIMPing*
Oh how lovely! So perfect thank you Hitch
Well its bad news...Though its not in the stomach, its in the small intestine, and the consultant isn't going to operate to remove it due to Da's age and probable spread elsewhere etc. Spoke to Da on the phone and he sounded good, v. uncomplaining. Going to try to get a second opinion/go private whatever. NOT impressed with the NHS - they're shoving him into palliative care/ a hospice when they've only done one scan + don't even know where its spread to yet.
Wish us luck!
Oh damn... *hugs* If you need to go private, do so. Shame it has to be that way.
Owen gave me the ward numbers and the name of his consultant etc so I'll push them to consider operating to remove the tumour. Da came through major surgery before despite being 81... they seem to be dismissing him cos of his age.
Will keep going - thanks 
*pushes consultant... with a pointy stick*
That'll help. 
Spoke to the ward and Dad twice. Owen + I want him to have surgery + take his chances. Consultant is to ring me tomorrow.
Can you please get your wand out + do us one of your spells Hitch 
Thanks again for the lovely pic Every time I look at it I feel better 
*waves wand* Consultantus Complius!
You are welcome.
Ta Hitch!
*takes a bow*
*tries to think of more pretty men for you*
Thanks. No worries the spell will do... sounds a good one. Lets hope it works
*salutes*
As you wish.
Just got off the phone to the consultant *bangs head on wall*
Will keep on...
Gah! Want me to cast Cruciatus on the consultant?

Aye! and I hope its a bad un
Oh it is, it is indeed...
Oooh do tell
It's the torture curse. One of the three unforgivable curses. You get life in Azkaban for using one.
Neville Longbottom's parents were driven mad by the curse, spent the rest of their lives in hospital. That's why he lives with his grandmother.
Oh sounds nasty
Though I can think of people who deserve it
It is a bit...
The other two are the Imperius curse (make people do what you want) and Avada Kedava (the killing curse, you probably know of that one).
No hadn't heard of it. The only curse I've heard of is the evil eye.
