Phew!

Just couldn't resist it anymore. Any questions send to Blue Skies!!

Thought you may like to see Clare and Brendon's pad in NZ.

The Phew bit in the title is because Val had to see the chest clinic consultant today over a shadow that was found on her lung. We have had a bit of a worrying time with imagination working overtime as you can imagine!

It appears that the shadow is mainly made up of scaring left over from some childhood illness, possible TB or something similar, that Val has now forgotten all about.

The consultant reckons there is something to do with Val's Arthritis in there as well but nothing to worry about. She is back to see him an a month or so for a "make sure" check. Luckily she had an x-ray about five years ago so they were able to compare that x-ray with the CAT scan, even I could see the scars (black bits on the x-ray and bobbly circles on the CAT!).

Massive relief in the Mann household as you can guess!!

Blue skies aka brown fingers has been at it again so without further ado .... UP, UP and HOLD

" Suffolk Sojourn 19 of 134.Good question Zoe - Sunrise or Sunset? Obvious answer to those who know him - Paul's never been an early bird.The Tractor Boys are taking a lot of flak - I obviously hit a nerve. I await this weekends' results with eager/confident anticipation. Plastic, with limited mobility and still in last years strip - say no more.Still no word from HR, Derek or Barry?! (Or Leon of late - He'll be back - I know it) Obviously busier than us.Anyway - It's late. Got the ironing to finish before Bil gets up for work. She appreciated your Birthday greetings by the way - Thank you.Blue Skies - CT "

The good news for my old mate podga is that if he tunes into Sky sports this Saturday at about 5.15 (17.15 hrs) he can watch a proper team in action - no not Cardiff!! The mighty Greens are in TV land action. And yes, I know, I am on a limb here. Pride before a fall and all that. But confidence in the lads. Incidentally did you all like the subbuteo team photo?

Heard from HR via e-mail. Problems with PC and all that. MOD not paying for a decent system or something like that. I am sure he will post something now we are in his "my favourites" - NOT on his desktop you will note - Humph!!!

Podga had to do the ironing and I now have to go and get tea as Val can't move from the telly. "Ghost whisperer" is on you see. A must see show.
