Interesting, fascinating. So good of you to write a blog to get information out there. You can write a book when you get done with this! All my best to you.

Re: Chit-chat
Oh, Sampy -- wow. I don't know what to say.
I know I will stop complaining about my braces (on my teeth) for a while, anyway.
Heal fast!

Re: Chit-chat
Yay, Davina, you get to come back to beautiful Essex! It's actually quite sunny at the moment but it's due to rain soon. Get back quickly and enjoy the beautiful grey- I mean blue skies! 
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I was wondering if you'd like to have coffee...
Hmm. I really don't know. Oh, I'm sorry, did I say 'know'? I meant 'care'. I don't really care.

Re: Chit-chat
Thanks amolly! Can't wait! Lol.
Seriously, I have SUCH a problem with numbers, including times. We just got down to pick up our transfer bus an hour early because I got the time wrong!

Re: Chit-chat
Home. My father has fallen downstairs today and has been taken to hospital- hopefully nothing too serious but he is 87. Awaiting news as it is far too far for me to drive whilst seriously jet lagged.
My daughter is in pain, probably from where she fell heavily messing up a jump on our last day skiing.
My credit card has been cloned but luckily the fraud department realised that I was not in Brooklyn at the same time as in Canada- all the cards have now been blocked though which is a nuisance.
It is sunny here and the dogs are soooo happy to see us. That is the silver lining.

Re: Chit-chat
I hope your Dad recovers quickly. How many stairs did he trip down?
My Dad is only 66 and fell down just five stairs, but even so, he's been having problems with his legs since and can't be on them for too long.
I hope everything turns out okay, he must be very frustrated.

Re: Chit-chat
He seems, hopefully, to have just a few cuts and bruises although they admitted him eventually to a ward in the hospital. He is quite chipper today. He fell head first down a whole flight of stairs in his house, I guess about 15 steps. I think he is training to be a stunt man! His cuts are mostly because he hit and smashed a pot he had there. He is not going back until a stairlift has been fitted!

That was quite the effort yesterday, glad to see my Khan joke didn't get completely overlooked.

Re: Chit-chat
Kazza seems to have done a bunk . Not sure about the other Aussies.

Toys out the pram or something real she needs time for?
It's not quite the same without her scolding newbs for repeating an asked question...

Re: Chit-chat
I can't speak for somebody else, particularly as I sadly didn't get chance to know them that well.
But I liked Kazza and miss her.
On my 1st Sherlock forum, my best friend got kicked off and my 2nd best friend felt she had to leave.
Sherlock seems to attract some special people who require understanding and care...
It's sometimes hard to cope with super assertive,stable, confident people.
