Almost …

… made it but sadly travel plans have been cancelled for tomorrow morning’s flight. Doctors being precautionary.

I read that Hall of Fame baseball player from generations past Frank Robinson is credited with first saying that: “Almost only counts in horseshoes and hand grenades.” He uttered that line when asked by a reporter how he felt right after losing a game 12-11.

[Susan Wakely]

Oh I feel for you. I hope that you are in good enough health to be able to travel soon.

[Lisa Brown]

I am so sorry. Here's to better days ahead

[Dawn]

Oh that’s tough but hoping for better days ahead

[Mags]

So sorry! Hopefully, plans can go ahead at a later date.

[Beverley]

I’m sending you lots of energy and positive good health, I remember reading how excited you were to fly to Zurich… soon you’ll be on your way…

[Rob Z]

That's a shame for you. Very disappointing.

[Kathy]

Oh no. Hoping the sick person (you?) recuperates quickly and gets the all clear from the doctor to reschedule the trip.

[Issi Bannerman]

Oh, so sorry that you had to cancel your travel plans. Hopefully you'll be back on track soon.

[Kathy A]

Oh dear, such a shame to be missing the girls' first birthday

[haskar]

It's so hard to stop suddenly. But sometimes you have to. Give yourself time to rest and make new plans.

[Agnes]

That’s a pity

[Brian]

🙏🏻 for full recovery of your health and your trip is rescheduled

[Peter Dulis]

Get well soon

[bkb in the city]

So sorry for that

[Dorothy]

I’m so so sorry, but when you do go, you’ll be feeling much better.

[Merrelyn]

What a shame, I hope that you will be able to reschedule soon.

[Boxplayer]

Oh really sorry 😞

[carol white]

So sorry your plans have been delayed. Hope you are OK, and that you'll be able to travel soon

Thank you so much for the lovely messages and commiserations. I’m doing ok, not enjoying the rollercoaster much but I definitely feel I’m on the up and hopefully in the final straight. Thomas will land in Zurich shortly and will join them by the lake for a picnic lunch. I’ll be there too on zoom so I won’t feel left out. In the meantime, the sun is shining here and I’m in the garden watching the birds and smelling the flowers 😊 hope you are enjoying your weekend

So sorry to read this after your upbeat enthusiasm! The quote is, yes, a famous one, and one my husband has said (quoted) several times through the years!
