Hello boys and girls -

[Lyd12]

Yes, you are all boys and girls to me, 81 today. suns shining and going to lunch with number 2 son today. Saw No..1 son and wife yesterday, and No3 son lives in Sydney and his broadband is down so we spoke on the phone this morning.

Joke for the day -

"Those pills you gave me are fantastic," says a patient to his doctor. "but they make me walk like a crab." 'Those will be the side effects,' repels the doctor.

Happy birthday

H Mandy

thanks for your good wishes.

I'm going to amend a saying - "Cometh the hour, Cometh the Mandy". When that so important phone call comes, you will find the courage to take this wonderful opportunity and grab this chance with both hands. How could you not with all the good wishes of this forum behind you? Love Iris x

HAPPY BIRTHDAY have a lovely day x

[Lyd12 in reply to bikergrove]

thanks, I did have a good day, so thankful I felt well enough to enjoy it. These milestones can be a bit worrying as you don't want to be a wet blanket when everyone wants to give you a nice time. Hope you are coping with your lung condition, and that the good days will outweigh the bad ones. Love Iris x
