snowmash's cybergarden

We filled up your thread, snowmash! So here's another one.

Neither weather nor circumstance seems to be cooperating at the moment, so I thought we could do with a virtual garden to sit out in.

shodatin has started work already:
"we don't lose anything to the frost here, and nobody thieves our daffs and precious bay trees. Most days will be sunny I think, but sometimes we have rain at night, particularly when we've done some planting..."

And I think it needs a summer house with a chiminea or the like to sit round after dark and toast our tootsies.

thank you for thinking about it Hob

Having a wibble right now as I suddenly wonder if he will still be able to tummy crawl (that's how he gets round if not in his walking frame) as he uses his stiff arm for that.

snowmash you know about these things can you please advise? Will he still be able to use the muscles? How floppy do they get?

cityhobgoblin · 05/04/2011 12:50

(madmouse) Hope you find all the necessary advice before the procedure is due .

shodatin · 05/04/2011 14:32

Everything that everyone else has just said, and feeling so helpless to help you snowmash. We are all still sending good wishes and prayers to you and will be here for as long as it takes.

snowmash · 05/04/2011 15:05

Re:botox it depends - they should becoming for functionality, but they may need to experiment with dose as everyone's different. Hugs

cityhobgoblin · 05/04/2011 15:27

So pleased for you , snowmash

shodatin · 05/04/2011 15:32

Lovely news snowmash, I was a bit worried for you. Hope you're feeling alright.

ThisIsANiceCage · 05/04/2011 15:44

thank you snowmash

and so Smile that you are voluntary.You are so brave x

shodatin · 05/04/2011 17:38

This is a much better 5pm than yesterday - hope the food's better too snowmash (don't forget I have snacks on standby in case hospital food is still not much improved).
Can you tell us yet what happened yesterday?

kizzie · 05/04/2011 18:33

Smile x

ThisIsANiceCage · 05/04/2011 21:58

Oh, and to everyone else on thread.

madmouse I'll have fingers crossed for mouseling on Friday and after.

Hope shodatin, hob, kizzie and the pixie clan have had good days.

So pleased your health is improved TIANC, you were very quiet!

My day was good because I fixed the vaccuum cleaner and don't have to buy a new one, plus contact from some favourite people and got seedlings out into garage at last as well as almost completed special card for Thai New Year - some tiny items in a rather dull life but definitely a good day today, and hope everyone else is feeling as pleased. News from snowmash about being voluntary was a great plus, but everyone else knows about that.

More news from snowmash would be another good item for today...

ThisIsANiceCage · 05/04/2011 22:43

So glad you had a good day, shodatin, that sounds a very satisfying list.

I've done rather less, but pleasingly have made micro-progress with the painting. And about half an hour ago I remembered it was my sister's birthdayShock, so said happy birthday in time!. (I remember it all the way up to her bday, you understand; and afterwards; just... on the day... usually argh!)

OP posts:
shodatin · 06/04/2011 10:08

Morning all. TIANC, I just drifted off and forgot laptop overnight, but I had thought of congratulating you on remembering your sister's birthday (mine was last week - remembered to send card, forgot on the day = embarrassment.)
Hope it's a good day all round, particularly for snowmash dealing with life on the ward and pixieplus madmouse caring for children at a difficult time. (Not forgetting kizzie , hob and TIANC who have awkward days like me)

kizzie · 06/04/2011 10:45

Everyone on this thread is sooooo lovely Smile

Oh oh, I adore houmous (sp?). Carrot sticks and celery and some warmed pitta bread... OK, hungry now!

Sorry no actual sunshine chez toi, Pixie. Your turn tomorrow, I hope.

Hi everyone , sorry for sloth / bad organisation - I too drifted off after enjoying the last posts of the evening .
Glad you managed a little bit of painting , TIANC , and hope you had more fairy dust to help you today.

Very impressed that you fixed your vacumn cleaner, shodatin. Hope your seedlings are getting the full benefit of glorious sunshine like we have here today . Did you ever get the poached egg plant seeds you were after?
( Not "rather dull" at all. I enjoy your posts so much as your appreciation of your activities & friendships shines through - I'm sure snowmash looks forward to them).

I'm having lovely week as have fewer commitments to attempt . This is the time to finally sort out important things I've dreaded / neglected for years Blush- will take a year or two more , I reckon !

kizzie , you are all indeed very special - hope you're having a good week

Hope the pixies enjoy today & that madmouse is able to find out enough about ds's treatment to ease her concerns.

Hope you've been able to have some time outdoors , snowmash.
Sorry for very long post - another thing I must sort out..
