Lovely spanna, I slept beside her. Well she is in her crate and I am on the sofa beside her. Her leg has been fractured to help realign her joint. She is only allowed out to pee, and this will be for the next 10 weeks. She won't see her beloved forest again this year, but if we don't give it a try she may well become severely arthritic in a relatively short period. We have a tiny window to operate to get optimum healing. And hey, it's Friday, I am off the weekend and I am not drinking. I thought I'd be desperate to hit the vin tonight, but I'm not. I am on the M&S Mojito! 
and it ain't bad, gotta say! Give it a whirl spanna, it hits the spot! I'm going to have a shufty at that website you linked to after this whizzes into the ether, dursn't do it before in case I'm logged oot again. xx
ma thank you for nae minding the bouf on the bus. (((((bosies)))))) She is housetrained, I promise. A camel as a totem is a brilliant notion!
Lovely, lovely ma, would speaking to your brother help, do you think? Would he be feart o thinking back to those darker days, or would he just be seeing that his sister needs an ear, shoulder and bosie? ma, there's nae shame in hauding oot yer hand, it doesn't matter if the other hand is there to haul ye oot o the mire, or to stop you from drowning in worry, or is just a comfort to let you know someone is there, its a hand. And we can all be done wi a haun noo and again. You did a grand thing the day, wi yon soldier. That probably buoyed him up to face another day. You gave him yer haun, and a bosie. It wasn't unprofessional at all. Sometimes just knowing someone cares can be a starting point. As I have found out on this bus, especially today. Haud yer heid up like a thistle bonnie quine, you staun heid and shooders abeen them 'a. xx
lala, thank you petal, sometimes they are the wee light that guides you home aren't they? Coming in to a wag or having a furry feline fraze round your legs gives you a lift, when the day seems dark and unfriendly suddenly you feel warmth and love. What happened today on your surrogate hoss? I'm sure you aren't shit at your hobby at all and I bet your pup runs to you for love, not man
I think you are going to be a great mam, the way you feel for your pup, saving her from the shadowy fox in the darkness, you will be a natural, for that is what mams do. P.s I am v 
at the raspberry lemonade from my favourite shop. xx
April thank you for being so understanding, she does fill my heart, she snuck her paw in and filled the space Little left behind, with boundless joy and her big smile. Paased on the gentle stroke to the hairy bairn, who was most appreciative, xx
baby now listen you here to me, you had but a blip, don't let it mar your months of success. You have been so brave of late, and an inspiration, you really have. You are amazing, you really are. Strong, is how I see you. And your aura smells of sweet hay. What's not to love? Onwards m'dear, keep looking between the ears, xx
Faire hullo! What have you been up to today? It's close again here, I really thought it would break after the storm, but nuh. Between that and hormonal central heating I look a bit like the boy in the ready brek ad. Have your storms passed? xx
Claret good evening my dear! I daren't look back the last few pages for fear of losing this post too, are you okay after the wee row the other day? You're right, it seems natural to want to relax in the garden with something cold when it's this ruddy hot and to be told 'no' would have deeved me rigid. Thank you for your kind words, means the world, xx
Fit like joey ma quine? You doing okay? How's work doing? We had a belter of a storm up here the other night, at 4am. It was bonny, but so close, so quite scary. You are so right, having them need you, it's warm fuzzy central. The joy they have, there's no guile, no side, it's so innocent. I say no guile. If there's food aboot the Bairn can be fair sleekit .
Work has improved a little, it's bearable, and that I can cope with. Small tatties compared to what's happening to my Bairn. xx
Elba Inde pink lady sober sweet hope beaches and obrigada, please say you're under one of the summer weight duvets on the bus! And hello summer lovely to see you on the bus! xx
It's pee time, so must post this and take her out for her 5 mins. Will pass on all bosies and kind words, she is one lucky Bairn.
Bosies and much love to all, apologies if I've missed anyone, I'm going to whirl this up into the ether to see if it flies, night night lovely travellers, xx
