three, don't worry, I am a one man woman and it's Pot all the way for me (unfortunately, as I am old enough to be his mother). Never fear, Boris is safe.

raahh, your doc is speedy. Glad you have a bit of relief.

Clay- he's been watching 'Doctors' Wink

Raahh · 04/02/2014 23:16

I think Juan may be a bit young for Sangria. Wine

I'm not though Grin

HarveySchlumpfenburger · 04/02/2014 23:29

I think I was about 9 when I started drinking sangria. Used to have a watered down glass at my grandparents BBQ every saturday evening.

Raahh · 04/02/2014 23:50

Clay- I think I was 10- it was my first trip abroad, my grandparents had paid for us to go to Ibiza. I loved the sangria. I remember going to bed, and waking up thinking the room was spinning round. I wasn't ill though.

It has been down hill since then.

juan my stepfather was ill for many years. Heart, diabetes, chronic arthritus, kidneys... He spent many times in hospital and many times we heard the words infection and not sure exactly... Its the most frustrating thing and worrying thing. The hospital visits each day, the fear of the phone ringing after 9pm at night or before 9am in the morning - the utter dread if it did. Your dp sounds resilient and as if he has the right mental attitude so keep your head up and be brave, carry on with your days on a day to day basis and keep that strength in you. This to, will pass, as they say - you'll both be okay - you must think that way and no other way Smile
I had not thought about the tennis you would miss being a driver Tennis that is a huge concern... And you'll miss us on here... Not sure I want you to send that form off any more - am utterly selfish and want you here drooling over Potato and fighting with muddled to make us all laugh our heads off....
I may have to gatecrash Djoks wedding as Boris is bound to be there...

For juan who knows the area... For all you that do not, there are about 20 steps down to that beach from the cafe, its a ling way down from it - that tide was bloody massive - the cafe got smashed to bits...

JuanPotatoTwo · 05/02/2014 19:55

Shock three, that must have been one humungous wave. I can't imagine it. Would be brilliant to live in one of those houses on the cliff overlooking the bay just now wouldn't it? Fab picture. Did you get your good night's sleep last night?

Clay, were you engaging in electric toothbrushing when the damage was done, or normal safe manual toothbrushing?! I've always been wary of my electric brush, my teeth feel as if they're about to all fall out - have yet to damage my shoulder though! I got an electronic flosser gadget thing for Xmas (yay, spoilt or what?!) and I swear it's possessed. It's never worked except for one evening when I was in bed I heard a crash in the ensuite, followed by a strange noise. Flosser gadget had jumped off its charger and was merrily buzzing away on the floor. I had a job to switch it off - and I've never got it to work since.

Well, now that I've blown you all away with thrilling tales of my dental instruments, I've not much else to say! Didn't go and see dh today but for no apparent reason he says he feels much better :).

Raahh, I can't help but feel there must be some significance in the class puppet being called Juan - I feel a strange attachment to him :). Hope you're taking good care of him. Muddled, can't believe Pot never told you about his meeting with the Pope - he obviously neither loves nor trusts you. I, on the other hand, know all the intimate details, but I'm guessing he doesn't want any old random off the street knowing his business ...

Normal toothbrushing. Perhaps an electric tooth brush would have been better. Think it was something to do with the way I picked up the tooth brush. It's sent a muscle into spasm I think. Feels like it did when I had whiplash about 6-7 years ago. Have managed to book in to see physio again.

We no longer have a webcam. It got trashed in the storms on Monday or maybe Tuesday. The waves down here have been huge. Seems to be flooding everything at high tide.

HarveySchlumpfenburger · 05/02/2014 21:39

Glad your DH has been feeling better today.

threebats · 06/02/2014 06:13

juan Dd younger has faithfully promised me the house that is detached and has the helicopter in the garden (seriously, just why because it never ever takes off!?) She says its mine when she is rich and famous, she's going to boot the family out with a golden handshake and move me in Grin I sigh about that house, its kind of fantastic, not too big, not too small, has a view to kill for and is high up enough to never get flooded! It has its own access to the beach ffs...
I have to go shower... Another day, another round of massages...
Have a good one all...

Raahh · 06/02/2014 19:45

Rafa has pulled out of Buenos Aires.

I feel very sadSad

threebats · 07/02/2014 06:13

God it seems ages since I saw any Tennis By that I mean, a tournament, an investment watch - a get up day after day for 2 weeks and have it there to look forward to. The multitude of players with their own particular quirks and the shock matches and the horror matches and the great matches... The arrange one's entire life around what time a match is on... How long till the French?

How is everybody's bad shoulders?
Hoe is your dh juan?
Is that puppet still hanging about?
Why did Rafa pull out raahh? Do you know?

Mama1980 · 07/02/2014 08:18

Morning all, how's your dh Juan? I hope he is still improving.
Came to update that rafa is out of buenos aires but raahh beat me to it Smile stomach virus/not enough practice Eurosport says.
My children have decided that sleep is only for the weak as soon as my 12 week old dozed off my 13 month old woke....it's gonna be a long day!

Have to work today, but just thought the Edberg fans might like to read this article.

Dh steadily improving - thank you all for asking. :)

HarveySchlumpfenburger · 07/02/2014 11:12

Glad he's getting there Juan. hopefully he'll be home soon.

Just realised I've spent the best part of 2 or 3 days reading/arguing on a thread about maths. Clearly I need more tennis in my life.

Oh well. At least there will be winter olympics to fill the sport watching gap in my life.

Good to see Dan Evans is starting the year off well. Is ranked 133 atm. Will end up 123-125 if he wins his next match/

Raahh · 07/02/2014 13:16

Good to hear about your Dh, Juan.

I loved that article- but obviously Stefan is a lovely bloke. Grin

Clay- I lurk on maths threads, with only GCSE maths to back me up, confident I know what's what. And I'm usually right. But then the inevitable fall out happens, and suddenly 2+2=5Grin
It's amazing how heated they get!

LetZygonsbeZygons · 07/02/2014 18:00

Hi everyone.

Hope everyone and everyones DHs are getting better!!!!

this threads likie an episode of Casualty!

speaking of which now Rafa has a 'virus' stopping his next tournament.

magimedi · 07/02/2014 18:07

So pleased your DH is getting better, pesky.

I thought it was Rafa's back that was the problem?

HarveySchlumpfenburger · 07/02/2014 18:13

It was his back in Oz but I think that's better. This is a stomach virus. He's better but hasn't had enough time to train I think.

magimedi · 07/02/2014 19:50

I would rub his back!!

Especially if the pope is not his mate!

Raahh · 07/02/2014 19:52

Oi oi oi - magi- Rafa is MINE!!

LetZygonsbeZygons · 07/02/2014 19:52

Yes! Get in! Dan Evans into his first semi final on the ATP beating Philip ''mr maker!' Kolschreiber!

well done!

magimedi · 07/02/2014 20:04

Oh no he's not, Peskie (2) Raahh!

I am a fickle woman & can bedhop chose between Rafa & El Pot anytime!

Be afraid, be very afraid Grin

Raahh · 07/02/2014 20:09
Grin
HarveySchlumpfenburger · 07/02/2014 20:37

Quick, hide Boris, threebats.
