Poor mum ended up in hospital last wed, thurs and fri...Wed she was there for her resheduled cataract op which got cancelled for the 2nd time...The consultant who was going to do the op came through and told them all that he was feeling unwell and wouldn't be able to operate after all...If he was feeling that ill then a) he shouldn't have been in at work and b) he could have let them all know before they travelled to be there at 8am...Not everyone lived in the town where the op was taking place...My mum lives 24 miles from that town and she and my older sis had to be up early to get there on time...Thurs she tripped and fell in the village square and had to go to A&E...Upshot is a broken wrist but no-one there to plaster it on thurs so she had be taken back on fri morning to get plastered...She wasn't asked but the plaster is purple LOL...Been teasing her saying she's all trendy with it being coloured.
G was out on saturday, i woke with migraine on sun so we went up on mon to visit...Poor mum looks tiny compared to the boys now...It was a gorgeous day up there mind you it has been gorgeous since last fri really...It's supposed to get better towards end of the week...M has his maths standard grade tomorrow and am going to take him up there...I will wait in the big park close to the school and take him back down to his sen school once the exam finishes...It's only 80 mins and it's lovely weather so i can just sit in the sun and wait...G has now started study leave and effectively is now finished school...His exams are on the 20th, 23rd may and 4th of june...He's away with school for a long weekend up near aviemore from 23rd to 26th may...Slight problem there am gonna need to maybe find someone to pick him up and take him home on the 26th...Am going to the theatre to see Joseph that evening and that was arranged long before his weekend away...This sat they are both out at seperate birthday celebrations...G is out all afternoon to the cinema and then pizza hut and M is out in the evening tenpin bowling and the dodgems...Shame they're not out at different times but hey ho...The pics of the flowers are from mums back garden...It's full of bushes and flowers and slopes up pretty steep...I really love the peach trumpet daffodils and hadn't even noticed that colour in her garden before and never seen them before...She keeps offering me plants and cuttings but i keep telling her there is no point...I gave up trying to keep indoor plants alive when i was in my early 20s and i think i best give up on outdoor plants too...Nothing grows for me LOL...If you want a plant to die that you cannot kill off give it to me and i will gurantee it dies within a couple of weeks :o) I looked through some of mums old photos when i was there on mon...I have some to scan in but one in particular...You will really laugh when you see it and when i tell you what M said about it you will laugh even more...That entry can wait until another day though...The others i need to speak to a man who can restore very very old and slightly damaged pics...One i think is beyond repair which is a shame as it is me as a toddler in a rowing boat with my dad at the outdoor pool we went to a lot in the summer when i was a child...I loved that outdoor pool complex...There was the kiddies shallow pool, the boating pool and the deep big pool with diving boards and a chute into the water...The water came from the sea so it was a saltwater pool but they didn't heat it up...It is now derelict and was along the coast a bit from where i grew up on the moray firth coast...Stonehaven just south of here still has an art deco open air seawater pool...Thing is they heat it up and there is nothing more vile than heated seawater in your mouth when swimming...Mum also had a few pics of K,G and M as a baby with her which i nabbed to scan...The very old ones i need repaired are of my dad in his army uniform from his national service, my grandad (mums dad) in his naval uniform from WW2 and one of my grandad in same uniform with my granny...I just need to figure out how to scan as i;ve not used the scanner bit of the printer before.

hi you hreat to catch up on all your news.
Your poor Mum.
Your poor mum, hope she gets her op shortly
Your Mum has a wonderful splash of colour Caff, when her cataract is done she'll really see the difference.....((((hope her wrist gets better soon))))
That's a lovely pic you have of her and the two boys :) Can't look at an old photo without a 'sigh' creeping in....but I wouldn't be without them ever :) Rache
Can't wait to see the pics your talking about :o) Sounds like it was a great place to grow up. Good luck to G with his exams xx That's a nightmare about your mum, I'm surprised they didn't cancel his appointments beforehand.

Caff I loved your pictures ~ your Mum does look very small compared to your boys ~ Hope her wrist gets better soon ~ and she gets her cataract operation done ~ how awful for her to have it cancelled not once but twice ~ I am really looking forward to seeing your old photographs ~ they can do some wonderful things to bring them back to life ~ hope you can find someone to pick G up and I am sure you will enjoy "Joseph" ~ Ally x
